Digital learning resources can make difficult concepts easier to visualise and practise. CBSE announced the dissemination of 845+ curriculum-aligned virtual labs and digital resources available through DIKSHA in August 2026. See CBSE’s current official resources.
What are virtual labs?
Virtual labs allow students to explore experiments or simulations digitally. They can be useful when a physical laboratory is unavailable, when students need to repeat an activity or when a concept benefits from visualisation.
How students should use digital resources
- Read the textbook concept first.
- Use the digital resource to visualise or practise it.
- Write down observations and questions.
- Discuss unclear points with a teacher or tutor.
- Test understanding without the resource open.
Digital does not mean passive
Watching a video or simulation is not the same as learning. Students should predict outcomes, record observations, solve related questions and explain the concept afterwards.
How home tuition can complement digital learning
A tutor can connect digital resources with the student’s syllabus and use questions to check understanding. This creates a learning cycle rather than simply adding more screen time.
FAQ
Are virtual labs a replacement for school laboratories?
They can complement practical learning, but schools should follow their curriculum and laboratory requirements.
Where can students find CBSE digital resources?
Students and parents should use official CBSE and DIKSHA resources and follow school guidance on appropriate material.
