“…Specific applications of laboratories were found as well, implemented before as in [4][5][6][7][8][9][10] where it could be observed among other features, the needed topology for these systems, and that will be detailed in the next section. The Vega et al [4] study is highlighted, because they are developing a reconfigurable analog electronic practice, where the user may shift between the different configurations of a Common Emitter Amplifier.…”

This article shows the process of designing a system of workbenches for laboratory practices oriented to virtual environments by using remote instrumentation techniques.. The process was linked to a Research process in an Instrumentation Research Seeder in the Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios, Colombian University. The document also presents the design process from the concept generation and Embodiment Design to the construction of a Basic Electronics Functional Prototype, including a remote access, and a trainer. One of the most important conclusion of the project points to the fact that the Remote Laboratories system is a very powerful didactic tool, not only in Virtual Education Processes, but also it will be used in a lot of academic environments.

“…In addition, the VSL platform was also employed to increase the effectiveness of the teaching in this area. As there are over 400 students (in 14 classes) each year, would have access to the VSL platform at any time, there is also an additional need for the curriculum to be centrally managed by a curriculum secretary, who can assist with such activities as the uploading of resources, creating access rights, as well as helping to resolve software problems . Because of the participation of a curriculum secretary, this teaching mode can be described as a “three‐part interactive mode.” The detailed process is shown in Fig.…”

“…In addition, it gives students the flexibility and independence as to how and where they work on the development of their laboratory skills. This approach can be made to be highly realistic and therefore relates very well to the real laboratory practical, and as a result, can simulate the learning interesting of students . This approach also helps the lecturers to save time and effort in preparing materials for students as well as collecting feedback on students' work.…”

Biochemistry and molecular techniques are used for the development of the scientific practice of students. To improve both the teaching and learning quality and promote the students' motivation, this article outlines an interactive “Virtual Simulation and Actual Operation Combined” approach by using a tailored virtual practice‐learning platform and participated by students and lectures, as well as a curriculum secretary. The implementation of the Virtual Simulation Laboratory provides a series of learning resources, which the students can access in their own time; and the participation of the curriculum secretary also makes the class more interactive and efficient. This method incorporates an experimental platform and a virtual experiment class to utilize fully both the traditional and virtual teaching methods and thereby promote effective student learning. © 2018 International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 46(6):585–591, 2018.

“…Numerous studies showed that game-based learning can increase learning motivation [6], [8], [24], [28]. Some researchers investigated various instructional strategies in the game-based learning [31], [11], [14], [44], [50]. Leisure game industry has established a series of unified standards in the product process, but for serious games for learning the situation still suffers from fragment and lack of coherence, therefore lots of efforts [31], [25], [5], [47], [15], [43], [51] were invested to study the system design and development of the game-based learning system platforms.…”

The three-dimensional (3D) game-based intelligent science tutoring system (GIST) is an e-learning platform for science. The individual complexity of 3D games and conventional intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) results in extra complexities in system design and development of GIST. It is significant to develop practical GIST, not just to seek the powerful ones. The main contribution of this paper is the lightweight modelling of the intelligent tutoring module based on the brief-desire-intention (BDI) framework. The tutoring module, which is implemented by integration of the BDI framework into a game actor, can be able to suggest to each student specific learning tasks based on his/her learning histories. As a study case, algebra-based physics are intentionally chosen as the learning contents in this 3D game-based learning system, since the most of existing 3D game-based learning systems only focused on the qualitative understanding of physical concepts. Our proposed modelling is only based on the BDI reasoning mechanism, so it can be easily extended to obtain practical GIST by using standard game engines.Resumen El juego serio en tres dimensiones (3D), basado en un tutor de sistema inteligente (GITS) para una plataforma e-learning de ciencias. La complejidad de un juego en 3D y de los sistemas de tutoría inteligente hacen difícil el desarrollo de un GIST, es decir, el desarrollo práctico de este. La principal contribución de la investigación es un modelo ligero de un módulo de tutor inteligente basado en la estructura de conciso-necesidadintensión(BDI). El módulo tutor, se implementó para integrar la estructura (BDI) en el actor de juego, este puede ser capaz de sugerir a cada estudiante una tarea específica basado en su historial de aprendizaje. Un caso de estudio es la física basada en el álgebra, se escogió intencionalmente como un contenido de aprendizaje en este juego serio en 3D, ya que la mayoría de estos sistemas de aprendizaje solamente se enfocan en la comprensión cualitativa de los conceptos físicos. Nuestro modelo propuesto solamente se basa en un mecanismo de razonamiento del BDI, de esta manera puede ser fácilmente ampliado y obtener un GIST mediante el uso de motores de juego estándar.
