Amrita Virtual Lab vs Steam to Teach Virtual Labs

Amrita Virtual Lab provides browser-based laboratories and learning materials for distance education and experimentation. Learners can use simulations, interactive animations, and remotely triggered experiments, alongside web resources, video lectures, and animated demonstrations. The project says it has built 1,500 experiments, with procedures, lab manuals, quizzes, and other supporting resources; the platform also offers on-the-spot assessment. Subject areas range across computer science, engineering, biotechnology and biomedical engineering, and physical and chemical sciences. Examples include neurophysiology simulations, physics tools such as a DC circuit simulator and virtual optics, and a wireless sensor network lab. Teachers can monitor student progress and adjust instructional material, and the platform includes experiment authoring and LMS integration. Labs are hosted for open access through the project websites. The team offers free online and offline classes for students and faculty at nodal centres. The Free access plan is listed at free under the Nodal Centre Program, with no registration fee for that program. Participating institutions must choose at least three experiments and have at least 300 students using the labs.
