& CDAC Mumbai. Funded by Deity (Department of Electronics and Information
Technology) is based on the idea that lab experiments can be taught using the
Internet, more efficiently and less expensively. The labs can also be made
available to students with no access to physical labs or where equipment is not
available owing to being scarce or costly. This helps them compete with
students in better equipped schools and bridges the digital divide and
geographical distances. The experiments can be accessed anytime and anywhere,
overcoming the constraints on time felt when having access to the physical lab
for only a short period of time.
