Bogusevschi, Diana; Muntean, Cristina; Muntean, Gabriel-Miro – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2020
A common problem in many schools is the lack of equipment and materials in their science laboratories due to both limited budget available to the school and high maintenance cost of the lab. The latest technological advancements provide great opportunities for schools to go over the budget and cost issues by using 3D virtual learning environments…
