This year, Moscow schoolchildren have started using virtual laboratories almost three times more often “Moscow Electronic School” (MESh), and the total number of requests since the launch of online simulators has exceeded 6.5 million. This was reported by Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development.
“MES is one of the main participants in the capital’s educational process, which is constantly being modernized and offers the most convenient, modern and understandable tools and materials for schoolchildren to learn. Thus, virtual laboratories allow you to study science in an interactive format. The online format does not require additional equipment, experiments can be safely carried out without adult supervision, and their clarity is not inferior to real experiments. Today, 42 virtual laboratories in seven school subjects are available on the platform, and their popularity is growing: if last academic year students used online simulators more than 618 thousand times, then this year the number of requests has exceeded 1.7 million. Thus, the popularity of the laboratories has grown almost threefold. In total, since the launch of the first virtual laboratories in 2019, Moscow schoolchildren and teachers have accessed them more than 6.5 million times,” said Anastasia Rakova.
Teachers use virtual labs to conduct engaging lessons, organize project and research activities. This develops children’s interest in science and technology.
The most popular was the drawing laboratory, which was used about 660 thousand times this academic year. The online simulator is available to students in grades 7–11 and is as close as possible to the real drawing process. The MES. Computer Science laboratory is also in demand: it was used over 330 thousand times this academic year. It includes more than 10 thousand tasks, 300 programming courses, and an online compiler for developing codes in 12 programming languages.
For lovers of natural sciences, the MES library has 12 virtual physics laboratories available, covering topics such as optics, mechanics, electrodynamics, and thermodynamics. For example, students can recreate Mikhail Lomonosov’s experiment by moving a cylinder of a certain weight from hot water to cold water, study the properties of lenses and mirrors, and observe how light waves pass through obstacles and overlap. Students conduct experiments in conditions close to real ones and complete assignments from the main state exam and the All-Russian School Olympiad.
Biology is represented by 10 online cytology simulators that help study the structure and functions of cells. For students in grades five through seven, there are seven technology labs where they master the skills of 3D modeling, robotics, and building logical circuits. Two online chemistry simulators allow you to study chemical reactions and the properties of substances.
The first virtual laboratories in physics and mathematics appeared at MES in 2019, and three more laboratories were opened in 2020. In 2021, their number more than tripled to 29 online simulators. Today, 42 virtual laboratories are available in the MES library, which are actively used by schoolchildren and teachers.
“Moscow Electronic School” is a joint project of the capital Department of Education and Science And Department of Information Technology, created in 2016. A single digital educational platform is available to Moscow teachers, students and their parents. Among the main services of “MES” are a library of educational materials, an electronic diary and journal, “Moskvenok”, “Student Portfolio” and “Olympiads”.
Providing Moscow schoolchildren with modern digital services increases the efficiency of the educational process, helps young Muscovites plan their time wisely and is in line with the objectives of the “All the Best for Children” national project“Youth and Children”.
