The iLab ProjectWelcome to the iLab Project |
...
! The iLab Project is dedicated to the proposition that online laboratories - real laboratories accessed through the Internet - can enrich science and engineering education by greatly expanding the range of experiments that the students are exposed to in the course of their education. |
...
Unlike conventional laboratories, iLabs can be shared across a university or across the world. The iLabs vision is to share lab experiments as broadly as possible within higher education and beyond. The ultimate goal of the iLabs project is to create a rich set of experiment resources that make it easier for faculty members around the world to share their labs over the Internet. |
For those new to the idea of a wiki, it is a kind of website that any user can edit - right here live on the page, in real time - as well as read. It gives users the ability to add content, as on an Internet forum, and also allows that content to be edited by other users. Wikis can be very helpful in creating an internal knowledge base and assembling an online community to share information. Our hope is that this wiki will be used by all members of the iLabs community to share knowledge and learn about the existing iLabs systems. For more information about wikis, click here.
Our wiki site is currently undergoing some renovation. Please forgive its poor appearance as we try to improve on the site for your benefit.
