摘要: India's educational challenge includes a large school going population, shortage of science teachers and lack labs in many schools. To counter this challenge, the Online Labs (OLabs) pedagogy is designed as complete learning environment with tutorials, theory, procedure, animations, videos simulations while assessment conceptual, experimental, procedural reporting skills. We discuss two separate empirical studies using OLabs to study performance gains, student attitudes preferences physical labs, desktops tablets. The first was at that compared students who learnt individually on desktops, traditional teacher led labs. second camp were context adapted for android There significant differences between self mode but no
