Since operation of virtual winder can relieve the problem of lack of experiment on real equipments, virtual winder can be valuable complements to physical winder operation experiment. Virtools is the most widely used software for creating 3D VR environment. In this article, using Virtools to construct a virtual winder is demonstrated in detail by dividing the whole process into five steps: (1) creates 3D winder models in 3ds Max; (2) exports the models to Virtools format using Expert plugins (3ds Max Exporter); (3) designs scenes including cameras and lighters; (4) constructs the virtual winder including Behavior Building Block (BB), Scripts, and Virtools Scripting Language (VSL); (5) synthesizes and exports interactive coursewares of the virtual winder. The considerations and discussions in this article may be useful for building system of virtual education equipment in other subject areas. ß

“…Virtual chemistry laboratories were created to supplement textbook problem‐solving by connecting abstract concepts to experiments and real‐world applications. In the virtual web sound laboratories , students’ motivation and learning of the physical concepts are improved. The virtual platform for embedded systems provides students the conveniences to make modification to hardware of their interest and develop system software.…”

This paper introduces a novel web‐based virtual laboratory to support teaching electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), specifically operations of the instrument. The virtual lab includes favorable animations to facilitate understanding characteristics of EPMA, the virtual experimental platform for instructive simulations, and quizzes to measure the students’ achievements in learning. To illustrate the instrumental operations, typical experimental processes have been simulated with 3 modules and 34 windows. Students responded to the survey that the virtual lab was very effective in promoting understanding of EPMA and helping them to familiarize with the operations of the instrument and improve the skills before performing the experiment in real lab. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…In this respect, many innovations related to Acoustics in Physics and Engineering teaching have been reported in the literature. For instance, in reference [1], three audio processors are evaluated to implement laboratory activities on Acoustics and in reference [2] Virtual Sound Laboratories are used for Acoustics teaching.…”
