Samuel B. Gavitte; Milo D. Koretsky; Jeffrey A. Nason – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 2025
Laboratory activities are central to undergraduate student learning in science and engineering. With advancements in computer technology, many laboratory activities have shifted from providing students experiments in a physical mode to providing them in a virtual mode. Further, physical and virtual modes can be combined to address a single topic,…

Ting-Ting Wu; Edi Sarwono; Yueh-Min Huang – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2025
Background: Virtual laboratories are used to supplement or even replace physical laboratories in engineering education. Although these virtual laboratories allow students to learn foundational experimental skills, they do not provide the learners with the chance to develop higher-order thinking skills (HOTS). Computational thinking (CT) is an…
