“…It is a suitable VCL to learn only the procedure of experiments, but the simulation of chemical reactions is not possible in it which is the limitation of CSU ChemLab [68]. In 2004, Girault et al [69] developed an online VCL in which students can remotely enter the required data for experiments and then a tele-robot performs the experiments according to the provided data. Similarly, the Virtual Reality Undergraduate Projects Laboratory (VRUPL) is a 3D VCL in which undergraduate students are trained for physical experiments.…”

In science education laboratory experimentation has a vital role for students’ learning enhancement. Keeping in view the importance of modern day technologies in teaching learning process, various interactive laboratories (ISLs) have been developed to assist students in hands-on experiments in science education. In this paper we describe the potential contributions of existing interactive science laboratories (ISLs) in the major subjects of science, i.e., chemistry, biology and physics. The existing ISLs include virtual labs and simulation software where users performed their experiments. Important problems and challenges in the existing ISLs are highlighted. The systematic literature review (SLR) methodology is used for article searching, selection, and quality assessments. For this study, 86 articles after final selection using SLR are selected and classified into different categories. Each article is selected after briefly studying its different information, including category of the article, key idea, evaluation criterion, and its strengths and weaknesses. A subjective study with field experts was also conducted to investigate one of our existing virtual lab about the practical implementation and to find out the key issues in its implementation and use. Then, considering the suggestions of the subjective study, some guidelines are proposed for the improvement of future ISLs.

“…Online 3D Virtual Chemistry Laboratories. In 2004, Girault et al 44 presented a virtual chemistry lab for distance education where students enter the required data of experiments using a web or remote interface and then a robot carries out the experiment. The online collaborative virtual classroom of Shudayfat et al 45 contains a periodic table through which students can collaboratively interact using their humanoid avatars and can study the properties of an element including the visualization of its atomic structure in 3D.…”

Different virtual chemistry laboratories (VCLs) have been developed with which students can perform and practice their practical and experimental work, thus increasing their learning before performing the same work in a real chemistry laboratory. In this paper, we present an analysis of the existing virtual chemistry laboratories by identifying their strengths and shortcomings and formulate guidelines for the development of future VCLs with more generalized, realistic, and flexible features.

“…The system was also suitable for users to learn about the safety rules during the experiments in the real laboratory but was much less interactive because of the video clips. 20 In 2004, d'Ham et al 21 presented a virtual chemistry lab for distance education where students enter the required data for an experiment using a web or remote interface, on the basis of which a robot then carries out the experiment. The online collaborative virtual classroom of Shudayfat and Bogdan 22 contains a periodic table through which students can collaboratively interact using their humanoid avatars and study the properties of an element including the visualization of its atomic structure in 3D.…”

The Effect of Procedural Guidance on Students’ Skill Enhancement in a Virtual Chemistry Laboratory

Various cognitive aids (such as change of color, arrows, etc.) are provided in virtual environments to assist users in task realization. These aids increase users' performance but lead to reduced learning because there is less cognitive load on the users. In this paper we present a new concept of procedural guidance in which textual information regarding the procedure of a task is provided to users. The users convert this information into physical actions to complete the task, which enhances their learning by creating a consolidated mental model. We use Multimodal Virtual Chemistry Laboratory, where students simulate a chemistry experiment with the help of procedural guidance. Evaluations reveal that the proposed guidance enhances students' learning and consequently increases their performance in real-world situations.
