TriLab – a combined remote, virtual and hands-on laboratory as a novel reusable learning object (RLO) for supporting engineering laboratory education
conference contribution
posted on 2009-06-25, 11:00 authored by Mahmoud Abdulwahed, Zoltan NagyZoltan NagyReusable Learning Object (RLO) is, in brief, a conceptual model of a shared vessel
of teaching and learning content which is normally developed using IT tools. Attention
have been paid recently towards using RLOs in educational processes for facilitating
better learning and minimizing costs associated with improving teaching and
learning. The importance of a laboratory experience in engineering education
curricula has been emphasized in a large number of science and engineering
education articles (Johnstone et al 2001; Hofestein et al 2004; Feisel et al 2002;
Kirschener et al 1988; Ma et al 2006). Wankat observes that only 6% of the articles
published in the Journal of Engineering Education from 1993-2002 had ‘Laboratory’
as a keyword (Wankat 2004). In response to the recent recommendations in the
literature regarding the engineering laboratory education, we worked on developing
an Online Laboratory Learning Object (OLLO) for enhancing the students laboratory
experience, the OLLO was developed for the process control laboratory taught
through various courses at the chemical engineering department of Loughborough
University.
