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.
Requires Less Materials and Apparatus
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.
Virtually Present Complicated Experiments
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.
Helps to Perform In-Depth Analysis
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.
Ensure Learner's Safety
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.
To Sum Up
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. Acadecraft
