Abstract

 

This article outlines the development of a web-based certification module designed to complement both blended instructional formats and traditional lab-based teaching. The program was specifically applied to a Physics practical course, utilizing the online tools available on the WIX platform. The core objective was to foster independent learning among students and to offer a viable approach for managing laboratory instruction for large student cohorts with limited teaching staff. It is important to note that this digital resource is meant to enhance, not replace, standard lab experiences. The module was effectively deployed over the course of one academic semester, targeting first-year undergraduate participants.

 

Key Words:
