“…A major innovation in improving poor quality laboratory education was to introduce ICT-based Virtual Laboratories (VL) [4], envisioned to supplement traditional laboratory. VLs are expected to be one of the most important future technologies in learning [5]. The advantages of using VLs include: 1) enabling acquisition of conceptual knowledge through online experimentation anytime and from anywhere and 2) working with simulations and/or equipment that allow real time connections to experimental setup and access to data, without requiring staff supervision and both of these resulting in development of experimental knowledge outside the known settings of a physical laboratory.…”

<p class="Title1" align="left">Educational technology such as Virtual laboratories (VLs) are being perceived as sustainable solutions to growing concerns related to laboratory skill training i.e. delivering quality laboratory education to a large number of students due to shortage of infrastructure and access especially in developing nations. With these VLs being an innovation for engineering education, the study of its diffusion in higher educational institutions is critical for gauging its impact. This study examines the five variables of Rogers Diffusion of Innovations theory in determining how VLs have changed or modified users through its adoption. The involvement of early adopters participating through a program called Nodal centers and their innovation decision stages are addressed. The study also analyzed the change agents as the nodal centers for diffusing the innovation in teaching and learning processes. Virtual laboratory adoption by users (n=43600) over 30 months was surveyed and factors of diffusion were reported. Similar scoring in assessment factors suggested relative advantage, technology acceptance, intention of use and relevance of trialability were pertinent in users' perception of VLs. Social hubs among higher education institutions promoted early adoption through better engagement of students.</p>

“…New Media Consortium (NMC) horizon report which focuses on exploring and reporting emerging technology in education has highlighted the flipped classroom as an emerging technology for higher education and is recommended to be applied at the college level worldwide [17]. Besides, the flip-class approach has been implemented worldwide in various fields of study [18].…”

Flipping the classroom with a LMS: Designing a technologybased learning model

et al. 2019

This study proposes to present a sample design of a flipped learning instructional model for teaching Islamic Studies course at an Indonesian higher education institution. A bottom-up flipped learning model was developed in this study, based on Bloom's taxonomy of educational objectives. A Learning Management System (LMS), Schoology, was employed as a platform to share pre-class video lectures for student learning activities outside-of-class. Three main activities proposed by the researchers outside of the class activities, namely, Watching, Summarizing, and Notetaking (WSN), whereas give and take conversation is the main class activity. This study implies that the bottom-up flipped learning model could potentially be implemented for teaching Islamic studies course in Indonesian higher education institutions, with the aim of fostering students' highest level of cognitive domains and independent learning skills. This study has implications for the Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education and the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia or policymakers to consider the flipped classroom as a contemporary teaching model for teaching Islamic studies course and other subjects at any in Indonesian higher education institutions.
