Virtual Labs Presentation IIT

The document summarizes the Virtual Labs Project, which aims to provide remote access to science and engineering labs. It allows students to perform experiments virtually at their own pace through an online learning management system. The project objectives are to make quality labs accessible to students nationwide and enable self-learning. It covers many disciplines and features include free access from any device and replicating the real lab experience through simulations and multimedia. The project has expanded access to over 500,000 students through nodal centers that train faculty and students.
