Virtual labs are a key for the establishment of virtual universities of the future, says Prof (Dr) Sandeep Sancheti, President, Manipal University, Jaipur
How virtual labs are reinventing the pedagogy?
A large number of courses offered by professional institutions lack in terms of laboratory work and hands-on experience of a laboratory environment due to a variety of reasons. Even if such facilities are available, their efficacy is poor due to the quality of equipment, general instructions and readiness to challenge the standard conventions. Availability of virtual laboratories will bridge that important gap by providing access to quality laboratory experimentation with a feature of anytime, anywhere and by anyone. In my opinion, virtual labs are a key for the establishment of virtual universities of the future. http://digitallearning.eletsonline.com/2013/03/access-to-quality-lab-experimentation/
