Project Number: 2020-1-DE03-KA226-SCH-093410 Best Practice 4: SCUOLAB 1. Topic/ Area Digital Laboratory for Physics, Electronics and Electrical Engineering, Chemistry and Science 2. Target group Teachers and Students of STEM disciplines 3. Type of Best Practice eLearning platform for immersive education (Laboratory online simulation) 4. Date released 2020 5. Partners/ network Protom 6. Level National (the contents are available in Italian only) 7. Description of the methods/ approach and/or theories used SCUOLAB is based on immersive education, an approach that uses 3D ad virtual reality to allow students to experience learning in an immersive and participative way. In this case, with virtual reality, SCUOLAB reproduced in every detail the environment and equipment of Physics, Electronics and Electrical Engineering, Chemistry and Science laboratories. Basically, immersive education allows to practice learning by doing in a virtual environment. 8. Purpose/Aim SCUOLAB allows to practice STEM disciplines with practical experiments online. It recreates virtually the school laboratories. The objective is to overcome the difficulty of distance learning also for practical subjects and to learn STEM disciplines in an innovative and immersive way. 9. Evaluation (results) of its effectiveness SCUOLAB was free during the pandemic and teachers and schools have tested it. They report that is a very effective simulator and that allows to create their own experiments. Moreover, it allows to practice these disciplines constantly and in a more effective way. 10. Overview of the lessons learned which are relevant to the project Students can still practice STEM disciplines even online without losing the laboratory experience 11.
