Abstract

Laboratory studies provide experience, try and error type of learning, building connections among other concepts and previously learned subjects. However, for many educational organizations it is not always possible to prove such an experience for their learners, since the establishment and maintenance cost especially for the fields that need high level equipment in such laboratories. In such cases, several educational organizations are using some technologies for supporting their students remotely or virtually. At this point which one to choose, virtual laboratory or remote laboratory is become a question. This paper is a report on the findings of a study conducted on two undergraduate courses one supported by remote and the other one supported by virtual laboratory environments. The study reports the main reasons for choosing one or another is discussed through these courses. This study may help educators while supporting their students with these high technologies, to get better benefits from it, and improve the learners’ level of learning.
