Abstract

The pipeline of instructional materials and learning infrastructure has not kept pace with the heavy demand on educational facilities. Rising enrolment rates have outpaced the education funding, resulting in shortages of instructional materials, poorly stocked libraries and overuse of existing school facilities. An E-learning software application has been developed to assist students in their laboratory experiments in form of a virtual laboratory simulation package to address the problem. In this paper the design and implementation of an intelligent learning system for both educational and personal use is being. This application integrates the real world into simulation environments enabling learning to be more affordable, accessible and friendly. The system allows a tutor to upload tutorials and experimental procedures and get expected results. The student accesses the application and performs the experiments by following the steps given in form of tutorials. The developed package has been tested and performs simulations on Physics and Chemistry experiments.
