Sedky, Nada K.; Arafa, Reem K. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2022
Nowadays, novel Biochemistry lab techniques are being introduced at a very fast pace in scientific research. This requires development of new labs for undergraduate Biochemistry courses to equip the students with up-to-date techniques. However, the time limit of Biochemistry labs for undergraduate students represents a major obstacle. This article…

Abdel-Salam, Tarek; Kauffman, Paul J.; Crossman, Gary – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2006
Educators question whether performing a laboratory experiment as an observer (non-hands-on), such as conducted in a distance education context, can be as effective a learning tool as personally performing the experiment in a laboratory environment. The present paper investigates this issue by comparing the performance of distance education…
