A distributed case‐ and project‐based learning to design 3D lab on electronic engineering education
Open accessAbstract
Recently, virtual laboratories have popping up in online learning for students to self‐enroll in the experiments. Like in‐class teaching methodology, virtual laboratories need to meet the requirements as same as real world laboratories and support efficient learning and communication services. In this paper, we detail the development of our distributed 3D lab system based on case‐and project‐based learning method, which support semi‐automatic experiment creation, assessment and knowledge‐based instant conversation. We demonstrated the potential of our system with a case study in a subject of electronic engineering. The preliminary results indicated that our system demonstrated the potential of providing flexible assessment, saving time, improving experimental skills and making students more confident.

Students working in virtual laboratories often exhibit insufficient critical thinking skills and face learning difficulties during practice because they lack process-detailed operations, like using real devices.
“According to Yang et al. (2019), students working in virtual laboratories often exhibit insufficient critical thinking skills and face learning difficulties during practice because they lack process-detailed operations, like using real devices.”

Virtual laboratories allow students to learn foundational experimental skills but do not provide learners with the chance to develop higher-order thinking skills (HOTS).
“Although these virtual laboratories allow students to learn foundational experimental skills, they do not provide the learners with the chance to develop higher-order thinking skills (HOTS).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
