A Wireless LAN-Based Robust and Scalable Virtual Laboratory for E-Learning

The development of information and communication technology has penetrated various sectors, one of which is the education sector, especially in learning. The application of technology in the learning process is in the form of using virtual laboratory media to explain concepts that require a practicum, particularly in ab-stract materials. This study aims to determine students' metacognitive skills after applying the e-learning-based virtual laboratory media in physics experiment courses at the Department of Physics Education, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Universitas Papua. This qualitative research went through the stages of a lesson study. The data were collected from tests and questionnaires on stu-dents' metacognitive skills, observation sheets, interview guidelines, and video recordings during the open class. Further, the data were analyzed through Rasch modeling technique utilizing the Winstep application to analyze the students' met-acognitive activity questionnaire after learning. The lesson study encompassed three stages of a series of activities, namely Plan, Do, and See. In the Plan stage, discussions were held with the lecturer team to develop learning tools in the form of chapter designs, lesson plans, and learning media. In the Do stage, the model lecturer performed the learning process based on the media that had been estab-lished. In the See stage, the reflection was done to examine the learning imple-mentation carried out by the model lecturer in order to uncover weaknesses and strengths to be followed up on further learning. The results show that the quality of learning and students’ metacognitive skills at each meeting are improved. It is proven by the good and very good category of the aforementioned results. To sum up, e-learning based virtual laboratory media are able to improve learning quality and develop students' metacognitive skills in the physics experiment courses.

The paper deals with the research project adopting the e-learning methodologies for teaching in electrical and electronic measurement and instrumentation. The objective is to offer to the users the tool to achieve accurate and practical experience by working in real conditions and on real instruments. After the description of both the hardware and the software architecture of the Remote Didactic Laboratory, Laboratorio Didattico Remoto – LA.DI.RE. “G. Savastano”, the innovative solutions addressing the requirements of reality are examined and investigated. The core of the system is the Learning Management System (LMS) that provides didactic contents, enabling the account management, security protection, collaborative learning, student activity tracking, and feedback collection. LA.DI.RE. adds to the commercial LMS the innovative services dedicated to laboratory activities concerning the remote control of real instrumentation and the real-time visualization of instrument front panels during the execution of the experiment chosen by the user.
