UniSchooLabs Toolkit: Tools and Methodologies to Support the Adoption of Universities' Remote and Virtual Labs in Schools

The UniSchooLabs project aims at creating an infrastructure supporting web access to remote/virtual labs and associated educational resources to engage learners with hands-on and minds-on activities in science, technology and math in schools. The UniSchooLabs tool-kit supports the teacher in selecting a remote or virtual lab and developing a lab activity based on an inquiry model template. While working with the toolkit the teacher has access to three main features: a) a catalogue of available online laboratories; b) an archive of activities created by other users; c) a tool for creating new activities or reusing existing ones.
