    • Abstract

       

      The growth and popularity of virtual science laboratories have skyrocketed all over the world in recent years due to the covid-19 pandemic. India has also adopted the idea of remote learn­ing, but the overall utilization of virtual science labs to com­plement remote science learning has been slow and inade­quate so far. This article aims to introduce the Indian audi­ence to the world of three relatively new virtual laboratories (Beyond Labz, Labster, and Praxilabs) that can be useful for undergraduate science education. The salient features, ex­perimental demonstration, and merits and demerits of these three platforms have been discussed in this article.
