Why Should Institutions Use Virtual Labs Biology? from Tom Curry's blog

For a long time, experts believed that practical-based subjects, especially in fields of Science and Technology, cannot be taught effectively in the digital medium. But, the emergence of virtual labs has started to blur that perception. Practical Biology involves a lot of LS and TS cuttings, live microscopic observations, and some necessary procedures. Many believe that they are difficult to perform online. Still, there is a high possibility that many institutions will continue to use virtual labs even when their learners shift back to offline classes. Why is it so? In this blog, we will discuss why institutions should continue using Virtual Biology Labs. 

In virtual labs, the institutions use virtual apparatus and tools developed using AR and VR technology. As a result, the use of real materials and apparatus decreased by almost 90%. So, it reduces the expenditure of the institution.

Many experiments require sophisticated apparatus. Many institutions do not have such complicated tools. So, they can't perform such experiments in a real life environment. But, using virtual labs, the instructors can create AR-VR based environments where such complicated experiments can also be performed easily.

The virtual experiments can be completed very quickly. So, the institutions can use the rest of the time to analyse the results obtained. The instructors can even ask their learners to deliver a short presentation on the results.     

Virtual bio labs are less injury-prone because the learners don't need to perform section cuttings with sharp knives and blades. The institutions can hence ensure the safety of their learners using virtual biology labs.   

There are many experiments in Biology that usually need days to yield results. But, in virtual labs of Biology, you get the results instantly. It saves a lot of experiment time. Hence, more experiments can be performed within the stipulated time.

Virtual Biology Labs are faster than Physical labs, save a lot of time and money for the institutions, but at the same time, yield higher results. Hence, we can say that virtual labs have higher ROI than their Physical counterparts. So, the institutions should use them as much as they can.
