“…Conceptually, many literatures propose definitions for virtual labs. Amorim, Tapparo, Maranghello, Silva, And Pereira (2014) portray an overview of virtual laboratories by defining virtual laboratories as simulation-based interactive labs used to interactively design and conduct controlled experiments. The National Research Council in National Academy Press 2006 state that both physical and virtual laboratories can achieve similar objectives, such as exploring the nature of science, developing team work abilities, cultivating and sustaining interests in science, promoting conceptual understanding, and developing inquiry skills, with specific affordances (De Jong, Linn, And Zacharia, 2013).…”

The needs of technological advancement which is infused into education system are more and more inviting thorough researches since digital environment influences educational settings. In specific, virtual laboratories as the digital environment is now not used only in engineering and computer science fields but also in educational field in general. Digitalized teaching aids, web-based learning, e-learning etc. are such possible prospective fields that need virtual labs in them. In regard to that, this study is initiated to conduct a need analysis of virtual labs for Jambi province context through library research. This study employs documentary analysis techniques to assimilate reliable information regarding virtual labs from the related literatures. Purposively, this study selects online journals that are correlated to virtual labs and analysed the variables, methods, and results of study. This study finds that studies done yield few shortcomings of virtual labs usages to only the lost opportunity of students to involve their senses during the use of virtual labs. However, in general virtual labs usages contribute benefits to science education such as: a) Virtual labs assist students to link between theoretical and scientific concepts to practical laboratory techniques and skills; b) Virtual labs provide simulations that make students more engaged in learning scientific phenomena; c) Although some important opportunities of learning experiences are not provided by virtual labs such as sensory involvement in learning, most virtual labs are developed to fulfil the characteristics of teaching aids; d) Virtual labs abbreviate the preparation steps of practicum activities, hence they make class-time used effectively; and e) Virtual labs allow students to repeat experiment for multiple times. In addition, virtual labs usages also bring prospects to some important aspects of educational field namely financial resources, academic advancement, technological computer simulation improvement, and cultural aspects. This study suggests the Jambi Education Board to recommend virtual labs usages at schools to equip science education as supplemental and supporting teaching aids.

“…VLE has many functions to support learning [2]. VLE integrates Learning Management System (LMS) with student interface both second life [2], and OpenSim [3,4] via Sloodle. The use of 3D in VLE provides many advantages, especially the interaction between students and teachers through avatars, as well as collaboration among students [5].…”

“…Meanwhile, the endeavor of technology to meet the needs of the society brought about the advent of useful tool in enriching classroom collaboration online. Specialized educational software such as e-learning materials [9], 3D virtual lab [10], virtual environment, and mobile games [11] can supplement teaching aids to cater to different learning styles. In this millennial age, learning style has shifted from traditional to a more student-centered learning which could be achieved with the aid of technology.…”

The use of innovative learning materials in digital platform helps enhance learning as studies show that when more senses are involved the higher is the retention rate. With the release of diverse types of digital applications that users interact with, effect on the development of students particularly on their intelligences may differ. This study explores the impact of digital interaction on the multiple intelligences of students as presented by Gardner. Statistical analysis on respondents' multiple intelligence test scores based on Multiple Intelligence Developmental Assessment Scales (MIDAS) and respondents' digital interaction time was performed to determine the level of relationship between the two. Results show that all distinct intelligences has weak direct relationship with digital interaction time. Highest coefficient value is with visual-spatial and naturalistic has the least. Respondents were also categorized according to the type of digital application they mostly interact with. Statistical analysis on each of these categories shows that the coefficient values differ, such that, each of the distinct intelligences have weak direct relationship with social media and computer games interaction time, and a moderate direct relationship with e-learning materials. For VR games, there is a combination of strong, moderate and weak direct relationship among the distinct intelligences. With this, it can be concluded that the type of applications that users interact with is a significant factor in the development of multiple intelligences. A strategic combination of these types of applications is highly recommended to optimize its impact on the development of multiple intelligences.
