Online Training on
“Virtual Labs for Teaching and Learning”

Virtual Labs or Online Labs (OLABS) enabled schools to perform various experiments and activities without physical labs or limits. It proved to be efficient educational technology and gained popularity among teachers and students during the Covid 19 pandemic. CIET-NCERT in collaboration with CDAC, Mumbai has organized a five-day online training on “Virtual Labs for Teaching and Learning” from 27 to 31 December 2021 to enable teachers, students, and various stakeholders, perform experiments or practical lessons on different subjects on one platform at any-time, and at anywhere. CDAC, MeitY, Mumbai in collaboration with Amrita Vishwa Visyapeetham has developed OLabs based on the idea that lab experiments can be taught using the Internet, more efficiently and less expensively. Para 24.4 (f) of NEP 2020 states ‘Virtual Labs: Existing e-learning platforms such as DIKSHA, SWAYAM and SWAYAMPRABHA will also be leveraged for creating virtual labs so that all students have equal access to quality practical and hands-on experiment-based learning experiences. The possibility of providing adequate access to SEDG students and teachers through suitable digital devices, such as tablets with pre-loaded content, will be considered and developed’. As an effort to orient various stakeholders in the use of Olabs for virtual experimenting and exploring, a 5 days of online training starting from December 27 - 31, 2021 is being conducted on the topic ‘Virtual Labs for Teaching and Learning’ as part of the online training series.
