Learning outcome achievement in non-traditional (virtual and remote) versus traditional (hands-on) laboratories: A review of the empirical research (2015, methodology): “4 The 2005 date was chosen in an attempt to include studies that were possibly not accessible at the time of the publication of Ma and Nickerson's (2006)”
The iLab Shared Architecture: A Web Services Infrastructure to Build Communities of Internet Accessible Laboratories (2008, background): “96, No. 6, June 2008 | Proceedings of the IEEE 931 instrumentation and experimentation has become more expensive and distance education has become more common, Internet-accessible labs no longer appear novel [ 1 ], [2].”
Current Trends in Remote Laboratories (2009, background): “As already mentioned, the number of recent publications in remote laboratories and related subjects is large [13].”
Student Perceptions of Learning in the Laboratory: Comparison of Industrially Situated Virtual Laboratories to Capstone Physical Laboratories (2011, background): “It is generally agreed that psychological fidelity rather than physical fidelity is key towards students’ construction of learning (Ma & Nickerson, 2006).”
Handbook of Research on Learning and Instruction (2011, background): “Children (Lee, Freden-burg, Belcher, & Cleveland, 1999), as well as adults (Lirgg, George, Chase, & Ferguson, 1996), often perceive and categorize sports, physical activities, and skills along gender appropriateness dimensions.”
Applying Kolb's Experiential Learning Cycle for Laboratory Education (2009, neutral): “In their literature review, Ma and Nickerson (2006) found that 100 percent of the articles concerning hands-on laboratories considered that labs should be platforms for facilitating conceptual understanding, and 65 percent considered that laboratories should also facilitate the design skills.”
