T. Jordan, I2U2 Meeting, December 2005 What about e-Labs & i- Labs? In a perfect world, learners have access to the equipment and IT they need for experiments. Learners in Tallahassee don’t have ready access to the Hubble. We can invite learners into our research communities and, with the Grid, provide access to real data and IT resources. The tools that do this are called: e-Labs in school settings i-Labs in museums and science centers
