THE nuLAB PLATFORM

More ways to learn.
One connected lab.

Explore a scenario. Follow a tutorial. Test your skills. Bring IoT devices into the picture. Build your understanding in the same browser-based workspace.

MARKETPLACE

Start with a scenario worth solving.

Browse published lab packs and course content by topic. Preview the topology and pack details, then install an available lab into your own workspace to explore and configure.

Open the catalog

Discover your next lab

  • Search and filter the published catalog
  • Review the scenario before opening a lab
  • Practice in your own copy of the topology

Browsing is public. Installing and accessing content may require sign-in, a suitable plan, or a separate content entitlement.

TUTORIALS

Learn with a clear next step.

Work through guided configuration and troubleshooting tasks in the simulator. Read the instructions, make a change, and verify supported checkpoints against the state of your lab.

Build understanding, step by step

  • Step-by-step instructions beside your lab
  • Checks for configuration, routes, neighbors, and reachability
  • Progress tracking through the tutorial

Guides and interactive checks depend on the published content. Some curriculum paths require earlier tutorials to be completed first.

EXAMINATIONS

Find out what you can do on your own.

Final assessments turn a lab into a practical skills check. Complete the assigned work, submit your attempt, and review your score and the course topics that need more practice.

Practice. Submit. Review.

  • Hands-on configuration and connectivity tasks
  • Graded results with a course-level breakdown
  • Revision recommendations based on your results

Examinations become available as Final assessment content is published. Access and attempt terms are shown with the assessment. These are nuLAB learning assessments.

IoT SIMULATIONS

Follow the data.
Understand the connection.

Build a network of simulated sensors, actuators, and messaging infrastructure. Observe MQTT publishes and broker-to-subscriber deliveries directly on the topology.

Explore topics, subscriptions, and sensor values, then investigate how the network carries that telemetry between devices.

Discuss an IoT lab

IoT and industrial features require an eligible Enterprise plan. Device and protocol coverage varies by profile.
