Abstract

The rapid advancement in information and communication technologies (ICT), availability of quality infrastructure and cheap services have led to exponential expansion of applications of ICT in almost all the fields of endeavor. The world of education has also been greatly affected by advancements in ICT. It has enabled a variety of new avenues and methodologies for enhancing the experience of learning and teaching. It is well known that relevant laboratory experience can significantly improve the students' learning and interest level in the course material for both the traditional and distance education program. However, the effective integration of relevant experiments into courses remains the most challenging aspect of any program due to constraints of time and space and limited resources available for the provision of laboratory infrastructure. A cost effective and technologically feasible solution to this problem is to use information and communication technologies for providing laboratory experience. ICT can enhance laboratory experience by three generic methods viz. ICT aided experiments in real labs, experiments by simulation programs and experimentation in remote laboratories. The paper describes the comparison of the three ICT enabled methods of providing laboratory experience at undergraduate level and critically analyzes them to highlight the situations in which each is more appropriate than the others. Case studies of actual implementations of ICT enabled laboratories around the world are described to provide further basis for the comparison. A model of ICT enabled laboratory is thus derived considering all the relevant issues that emerge as a result of the in depth analysis
信息通信技术实验室研究
信息和通信技术(ICT)的快速发展、高质量基础设施的可用性和廉价服务导致了信息和通信技术在几乎所有领域的应用呈指数级增长。信息通信技术的进步也极大地影响了教育界。它为提高学习和教学体验提供了各种新的途径和方法。众所周知,无论是传统教育还是远程教育,相关的实验经验都能显著提高学生对课程材料的学习和兴趣水平。然而,由于时间和空间的限制以及提供实验室基础设施的资源有限,将相关实验有效地整合到课程中仍然是任何计划中最具挑战性的方面。解决这一问题的成本效益和技术上可行的办法是利用信息和通信技术提供实验室经验。ICT可以通过三种常见的方法来提升实验室体验,即ICT辅助的真实实验室实验、模拟程序实验和远程实验室实验。本文描述了在本科阶段提供实验室经验的三种ICT方法的比较,并对它们进行了批判性分析,以突出每种方法比其他方法更合适的情况。本文描述了世界各地启用ICT的实验室的实际实施案例研究,为比较提供了进一步的基础。因此,考虑到由于深入分析而出现的所有相关问题,得出了一个支持ICT的实验室模型
