Laboratory Learning Objectives Measurement: Relationships between Student Evaluation Scores and Perceived Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Nikolic, Sasha; Suesse, Thomas; Jovanovic, Kosta; Stanisavljevic, Zarko – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2021
Contribution: This article provides evidence that perceived learning has a relationship and influences the way students evaluate laboratory experiments, facilities, and demonstrators. Background: Debate continues on the capability and/or reliability of students to evaluate teaching and/or learning. Understanding such relationships can help…

Improving the Laboratory Learning Experience: A Process to Train and Manage Teaching Assistants
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Nikolic, Sasha; Vial, Peter James; Ros, Montserrat; Stirling, David; Ritz, Christian – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2015
This paper describes in detail a successful training program developed for sessional (part-time or nonpermanent) laboratory demonstrators employed in the Electrical Engineering Department of an Australian university. Such demonstrators play an important role in teaching practical concepts and skills in engineering. The success of the program…

The Impact of Audiovisual Feedback on the Learning Outcomes of a Remote and Virtual Laboratory Class
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lindsay, E.; Good, M. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2009
Remote and virtual laboratory classes are an increasingly prevalent alternative to traditional hands-on laboratory experiences. One of the key issues with these modes of access is the provision of adequate audiovisual (AV) feedback to the user, which can be a complicated and resource-intensive challenge. This paper reports on a comparison of two…
