What is a virtual lab instructor?

A Virtual Lab Instructor is an educator who facilitates laboratory-based learning experiences in an online environment. They guide students through virtual simulations, experiments, and demonstrations, ensuring that learners understand scientific concepts and procedures without needing to be physically present in a traditional lab. Virtual Lab Instructors use specialized software and platforms to replicate real-world lab scenarios, provide feedback, and assess student performance. They play a key role in making science education accessible and interactive for remote or distance learners.
