Virtual labs and a digital campus for higher education

Virtual reality lab work and a learning platform designed for limited connectivity.

  • Public university — Cameroon
  • Africa
  • Duration: 12 months

6,000

students with access to lab work

14

virtual labs deployed

×3

lab sessions per student per term

−60%

lab consumables

01

Context

The university welcomes a growing number of students in its science and engineering programs, while lab capacity and equipment budgets remain limited.

02

Challenge

Several cohorts could complete only a fraction of the lab work in the curriculum. Irregular Internet connectivity on campus made it difficult to use learning platforms hosted abroad.

03

Solution

KaySolutions developed a series of virtual labs in chemistry, physics and electrical engineering, usable in virtual reality and on a computer. Each lab reproduces the experiments of the official curriculum, with immediate feedback on mistakes.

A locally hosted learning platform, designed to work with limited bandwidth, centralizes courses, assessments and results. Faculty were trained to create their own activities.
