Abstract:

Creation and maintenance of virtual laboratories needs an interdisciplinary project team with didactic and technical staff and also experts of the field. NANO-WORLD, a collaborative nanoscience laboratory, developed as part of the Swiss Virtual Campus, is built on top of an e-learning portal. Interactive real-time simulations of nanoscience experiments inspire students to access e-learning modules. Remote experiments with mobile notification services increase the learning motivation of students. They can directly explore phenomena in nanoscience and take over the role of scientists.
