abstract |
Science and engineering students’ involvement in practical work contributes to the
development of their understanding of the concepts and processes of science. The Practical
Experimentation by Accessible Remote Learning (PEARL) project aimed to develop a system
to enable students to conduct real-world experiments at a distance using a computer.
We explored methods of extending the flexibility of laboratory teaching in terms of
time and location, and of meeting the requirements of students with special needs.
This involved the development of remote experiments at four Universities. This paper
uses one of the four experiments, spectroscopy for introductory science in a distance
learning setting, to illustrate the process of developing remote experiments. We describe
the evaluation work leading to refinement of the design, and an assessment of the
learning experience for students. This paper presents the findings of the validation
phases of the project which have established the feasibility of the remote experiment
approach. |
