o What is Go-Lab:

The Go-Lab Project makes remote and online laboratories

available for large-scale use in education.

o Main aim(s):

Offers students the opportunity to perform personalized

scientific experiments with online labs

Offers teachers the possibility to enrich their classroom

activities with demonstrations and access to lab and activities.

Access to the online Go-Lab community is also provided

Large-scale pilots


The project is implemented in 3 phases including a total of 1000

schools in 15 countries. (Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Estonia,

Germany, Greece, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, UK,

Bulgaria, Italy, Poland, Romania)

The project’s activities are integrated in a series of national and

international events (e.g., master-classes, Galileo teachers training

Large-scale pilots: Schools’ distribution

Implementation Phase A (M16-21)

with 100 pilot schools


During this phase of implementation partners organized series

of training workshops and educational activities with teachers

In this phase and in most cases the activities involved the use

of online labs standalone, in some cases there were

implementation of existing or already developed Inquiry

Learning Spaces with minimum authoring by teachers

8

Implementation Phase B (M25-33)

with 500 pilot schools


• During this phase the pilot schools are using the system

more extensively and at 3 levels

use the Go-Lab repository of labs

implement existing Inquiry Learning Spaces developed

by the project teams

develop new or adapt existing Inquiry Learning Spaces
