Virtual Lab

Turn practical and visual learning into interactive experiments — change parameters, watch outcomes, and teach with them live. Try built-in labs on any plan; author your own on Academy.

Teaching beyond static demonstrations

Practical work matters — but physical apparatus is scarce, one-shot, and hard to pause or safely vary for every learner. Virtual Lab brings that inquiry into a form you can open live, embed, and reuse.

The problem

A single bench demonstration cannot serve every learner at once, and replaying or varying conditions safely is often impractical in a busy classroom.

The universal core

The experiment worth teaching — forces, optics, circuits, systems — is shared across classrooms; language, examples, and live facilitation differ.

The goal

A teacher-controlled digital lab where parameters, graphs, and embeddable scenes support inquiry, demonstration, and live teaching.

Built once, shared widely

A lab is not locked to the classroom that made it. Built-in and community content travels across subjects and locales — while every author keeps their own copy.

Start from working labs

A curated built-in catalogue ships with the platform, so nobody begins from a blank scene.

Shared by the people who teach

Authors can submit labs for review. Approved work is copied into the platform library so it stays available to everyone.

In the learner's own language

The platform runs in 41 languages, and lab content can carry per-locale translations.

How it works

1

Build the experiment

Define the scene, objects, controls, relationships, graphs and learning objectives for your lab.

2

Explore the system

Learners change parameters and see outcomes and graphs update in real time.

3

Teach with it

Open from the library, embed on a site or LMS, or launch from the whiteboard while you facilitate.

Key features

Embed anywhere

Use a token-based embed code to place a lab on your site, blog, or learning platform.

Built-in and community library

Start from curated built-in labs or browse community submissions approved into the catalogue.
