Lagu Pata

• Lagu PaTa in Sanskrit refers to teachings / lessons in concise form. It is a very short and apt video tutorial guide to the virtual lab experiments that can be performed. In the wake of these lockdown days, lethargy would have kicked in among students to continue their learning, but Lagu PaTa is a very befitting tool for students who procrastinate academic activities.
• Since it is a very small & easy to grasp video tutorial explaining the gist of the virtual experiment, the user will get hooked and proceed to perform the experimentation. Like other government schemes, Swayam, Swayam Prabha, e- Patashala, Shagun Portal, IMPRESS, STARS, ARPIT, LEAP, SPARC, NPTEL and others, Lagu PaTa is a aiding tool to the SOLVE (Student Online Laboratory through Virtual Experimentation): a Virtual Lab which handholds and guides students through the virtual experimentation.
• When a user watches a Lagu PaTa, the user can access the links in the description of the video, which will navigate the user to a virtual lab website, for example Fluid Mechanics Lab. The user can go through the entire list of experiments and choose to perform any experiment any number of times at his pace, place and period (time) just by making use of laptops or mobile phones or desktop computers.
• Due to Lagu PaTa the number of people accessing virtual labs has significantly increased and we have 4,63,980 user hits for Fluid Mechanics lab alone in the year 2019. For Strength of Materials Lab we have 3,57,925 user hits in the year 2019. From 2015 to 2019 we have got over 11.5 lakh user hits for all the Virtual Labs developed by Centre for System Design (CSD), NITK Surathkal and the maximum number of user hits were seen after the introduction of Lagu PaTa. We hope that many students will take advantage of Lagu PaTa and benefit from the same.
