What was the most difficult aspect of researching this topic?
The most difficult part was finding out the design considerations of online science labs. Most of the literature was confined to studies on implementation and effectiveness of program; and not much was be found on design consideration. As a Physics teacher, I was curious to find out how designers of online science labs view virtual learning and the outcomes that was focused on during planning.
I had the privilege to interview Dr Brian Woodfield, Professor at Brigham Young University (with help from Dr Lowes). From our conversation, we talked about bringing principles that make video games successful into virtual science labs. The interview certainly opened my eyes to the world of online wet labs, gave us insights that would be difficult to gather on our own.
