Abstract
Remote Laboratories are web based distance learning laboratories that have immense potential to disseminate technology in the area of practical science. These laboratories can be accessed through Internet.
 In the present paper, we will be discussing our experiences in setting up a remote analytical laboratory at our center. Further, we will discuss remote experiments in the area of electro-analytical chemistry & colorimetry and their role in strengthening the system of science education.
Highlights
Practical courses are an essential part of a chemistry curriculum
In the last few years, there has been a tremendous effort in integrating real experiments into online material for providing wider access [1, 6, 7]
As part of the National Mission on Education through ICT (NMEICT) Virtual Labs Project, we have developed a remote analytical laboratory (Analytical Virtual Instrumentation Applications Laboratory-AVIAL) at Dayalbagh Educational Institute, Agra, India
Summary
Practical courses are an essential part of a chemistry curriculum. In case of chemistry courses via distance mode, conducting the laboratory component at the convenience of the learner becomes a difficult task. The above laboratories have provided ample evidence of success and utility of the virtual laboratory setup for providing universal access to quality practicals in science courses. Labs has been jointly taken up by the IITs (Delhi, Kanpur, Bombay, Madras, Kharagpur, Guwahati, Roorkee), IIIT Hyderabad, Amrita University, Dayalbagh Educational Institute, NITK Surathkal and College of Engineering, Pune. These Virtual Labs are effective both as instructional tools as well as self-learning tools, and provide a laboratory experience on the net. As part of the NMEICT Virtual Labs Project, we have developed a remote analytical laboratory (Analytical Virtual Instrumentation Applications Laboratory-AVIAL) at Dayalbagh Educational Institute, Agra, India. The experiments reported in this paper are in the area of electroanalytical chemistry
