Abstract

Remote laboratories offer new opportunities for students to engage in laboratory-based learning, providing both increased flexibility and opportunities for resource sharing. The move from face to face to remote laboratory classes can appear on the surface to be a simple change of access mode; however there are a wider range of factors at play in the changed learning environment. These have the potential to significantly affect students’ learning outcomes – particularly if they are not taken into account in the design of the laboratory experience. In this paper we discuss a number of these factors, showing that the change of access mode is a much more complex change to the students' learning environment.
