Learning Analytics in Collaborative Online Lab Environments: A Systematic Scoping Review

With the increase in online education arises the challenge of replicating physical laboratories and teamwork online. This poster presents a brief overview of a scoping review of the current research within the area of learning analytics and collaboration in online laboratory environments, including results on the used learning analytics method. A gap of knowledge in the current research where there is a lack of research addressing this topic has been identified. This calls for the need of further research within this area.publishedVersio

Current and Future Developments in Remote Laboratory NetLab

In this paper we report on current and future developments in the remote laboratory NetLab. After a short review of real, virtual and remote laboratories, NetLab – a remote laboratory created and operated at the University of South Australia since 2002, is introduced. Experiments conducted in 2015 using real laboratory and NetLab are presented and student feedback on those reported. Increasingly, both academics and students accept that properly structured, documented and supported remote laboratories constitute a valid complementation to and/or replacement of real laboratories. To increase the students’ learning support in remote laboratories a development of an intelligent tutoring system based on the learning analytics is proposed and outlined in this paper
