A Study on The Potential of Using Remote Labs for E-Learning Engineering Courses in Malaysian Universities
نویسنده
چکیده
Remote lab has been considered as method that can be used to enhance e-learning, especially for engineering courses. However, in Malaysia, the application of remote labs is considered new and in most cases “unavailable”. This paper describes a study that has been carried out among Malaysian universities electrical and electronics engineering lecturers to explore the reasons for this phenomena. The result of the study shows that administrators and lecturers support the use of remote labs an alternative to traditional labs. Among the reason cited for not using this technology is the difficulty in developing remote labs. The study found that most of the lecturers are lacking in IT skills and hardware interfacing skills. They also do not have the expertise in developing webpages and other related tasks. To solve this problem, we have propose the development of Remote Lab Generator (RLGen), a software tool to assist lecturers to develop remote lab. Key-Words: E-Learning, Remote Lab, Sofware Tools, Remote Lab Generator
