About the Project

The investigator is collaborating with an educational psychologist and a pedagogical design expert to design and develop a universal internet accessible remote laboratory environment where students can proceed at their own pace with more flexibility. The environment will have embedded assessments and a monitoring facility (progress of a student and the class as a whole) and can be customized with a range of laboratory courses, so that the faculty/facilitator from STEM disciplines can integrate their laboratory courses with very little effort. Use of this environment will make learning more interesting for students and also more effective in terms of achieving students’ learning objectives. This will provide an engaging laboratory and develop skills of self-monitoring and reflection, while working with students’ pre-existing knowledge.
