Zol Bahri, Razali, Dr. e-Laboratory Practical intelligence Hands-on laboratory Remote laboratory Laboratory exercise Link to publisher's homepage at http://mjde.usm.my/index.html With the high cost of traditional or hands-on laboratory classes, and the need for distance learning in many university institutions, there has been a trend towards providing online laboratory classes through remote or simulated access. An online laboratory class can offer cost savings compared to a hands-on laboratory, and has been made possible by advancements in software and communication technologies. The increase of e-laboratory or (remote laboratory) applications calls for an in-depth evaluation on its effectiveness. The results show that performing an experiment away from the physical equipment can have a significant effect on the student's learning experience while not negatively affecting learning outcomes. The physical separation allows students to learn and interact freely and creates a good opportunity for knowledge transfer. Furthermore, the freedom offered by e-laboratories has also allowed for a student's participation to be more involved with the laboratory experiment. Results also suggest that e-laboratories are comparable in effectiveness to hands-on laboratories, at least in teaching basic applications of course content, and are sufficient on their own. 2015-06-18T04:40:28Z 2015-06-18T04:40:28Z 2014 Article Malaysian Journal of Distance Education, vol.16 (1),2014, pages 79−99 1511-6433 (p) 2180-4265 (o) http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/40189 http://mjde.usm.my/vol16_1_2014/MJDE16%281%292014-Art.5%2879-99%29.pdf en Universiti Sains Malaysia Press |
