Particularly remarkable about the University of Edinburgh’s approach to modern student-centered teaching and learning is Practable.io, which impressively demonstrates how far remote laboratories have evolved by enabling freely available and flexible visualizations of abstract concepts. Tim and his team compellingly show what the future of STEM education must look like to teach and learn beyond the boundaries of individual institutions

By sharing their expertise openly, developing resources and embracing accessibility, they’re not only transforming the quality of education but equally fostering a global community of knowledge-sharing. These accomplishments truly embody ALT’s core aims and mission

GOLC has been at the forefront of coordinating international collaboration on educational online laboratories since 2010, so to be recognised by them is an achievement that the team and I are very proud of.

Remote Laboratories is a fabulous example of outstanding practice, and Jisc would like to congratulate them on their well-deserved award.

What Tim and his team developed with practicable.io is a true hidden champion in the scientific community on online laboratories. With their dedication to engineering education innovation, technical design and development, and curriculum integration, the team was able to put together a stellar platform for remote experimentation, which has the potential to benefit many student generations to come, in Edinburgh and worldwide.

Their multidisciplinary approach and commitment to accessibility, co-design and inclusivity shines through in every aspect of their work.

The Remote Laboratory Farm practable.io is not just the realisation of a vision, it is a visionary reality – and it will set new standards in STEM education.

Practable.io is an outstanding example of the future of digital STEM education. The platform combines technological innovation with a clear pedagogical vision, making abstract concepts tangible through flexible and accessible visualisations. Tim and his team have not only made a significant contribution to the global engineering education community, but have also set the standard for integrating remote labs into modern teaching concepts.

Tim and his team have created a lab infrastructure that not only students, but the teaching and learning community worldwide can and hopefully will learn a lot from. Congratulations on the well-deserved GOLC Award.

Congratulations to the School of Engineering Remote Laboratories at the University of Edinburgh for their exceptional dedication to pushing the boundaries in Digital Transformation.
