Hands-on Virtual Labs Workshop 12-13 Feb’ 2016 About Virtual Labs Physical distances and the lack of resources make us unable to perform experiments, especially when they involve sophisticated instruments. Web-based and video-based courses address the issue of teaching to some extent. Conducting joint experiments by two participating institutions and also sharing costly resources has always been a challenge. With the present day internet and computer technologies the above limitations can no more hamper students and researchers in enhancing their skills and knowledge. Today most equipment has a computer interface for control and data storage. It is possible to design good experiments around some of these equipments which would enhance the learning of a student. A virtual laboratory is a tool for distance learning and/or experimentation that allows people to share knowledge, data, voice, video, tools, and many other resources, thus, contributing to an increase of the effectiveness of scientific research and widening the use of scarce or costly equipments. A two day workshop on Virtual Labs is being organized on Feb 12-13, 2016 by G. B. Pant Engineering College, New Delhi in association with Department of Electrical Engineering, IIT Roorkee, under the banner of IEEE GBPEC Student Branch, Delhi. Objectives of Virtual Labs Hands-On Workshop To provide remote-access to labs in various disciplines of science and engineering. To help students in learning basic and advanced concepts through remote experimentation. To provide a complete learning management system including additional web-resources, video-lectures, animated demonstrations and self-evaluation. To share costly equipment and resources, which are otherwise available to limited number of users due to constraints of time and geographical distances. To provide an approximate version of the ‘real-world’ experiments.
