Design and implementation of an interactive virtual laboratory in distance education in Argentine universities
Abstract
The adoption of distance education (DE) in Argentine universities has long been in practice and was accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The effectiveness of online learning (OL) in such situations has contributed a lot, but it has limitations, especially in delivering practical laboratory-based education. Interactive virtual laboratories (IVLs) are being designed within the framework of this attempt in order to address these types of issues. The purpose of these virtual laboratories is to provide learners who have recently graduated from DE courses in science and engineering with the potential to get hands-on training. The layout and creation of an IVL application that attempts to recreate face-to-face laboratory experiences within an online environment is the subject of examination among the researchers of the current research. This method of HE focuses on integrating college-level teaching with real-world use to provide learners with a complete education subject to their physiological limitations. The program’s goal is to address immediate challenges and provide an architecture for Argentina’s higher education (AHE) system’s constant evolution.
