Online Training on
"Integration of Virtual Labs in Teaching-Learning" Phase 1
The global education development agenda reflected in Goal 4 (SDG4) of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by India in 2015 - seeks to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all” by 2030. To accomplish Goal 4, NEP 2020 emphasized creating virtual labs so that all students have equal access to quality practical and hands-on experiment-based learning experiences.
With the increasing challenges posed by technological advancements, the young generation is required to develop skills in critical thinking and problem-solving. Such opportunities can be provided to learners through pedagogical modifications. Pedagogy must evolve to make education more experiential, inquiry-driven, discovery-oriented, learner-centered, discussion-based, flexible, and enjoyable. This can be achieved by following the learning-by-doing approach.
Learning by doing is a process in which learners understand concepts by their experience which they get by engaging in the activities. This gives them a chance to explore and dive into the details. Teachers can support by using hands-on and creative modes of learning on a regular basis.
As per the recommendation of NEP 2020, Virtual Labs were launched on DIKSHA on 29th July 2022, which not only help learners but educators as well by making learning experiential, using simulator students understand concepts by performing experiments online not merely by watching videos or reading text.
Technological advancements have provided a plethora of tools to teachers that can be used in their regular classroom to provide experiential learning. One such tool is Virtual Labs which is available on DIKSHA. This vertical was launched on 29th July 2022 as per the recommendation of NEP 2020 clause 24.4 which states “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”.
