Abstract

Induced Collaborative Addiction for a “Solution-to-Question” Model using Remote Experimental Laboratories as a Tool AbstractSince the introduction of remote experimentation laboratory for learning, different researches havebeen carried out to determine the most suitable paradigm for implementation. Above all modelsresearched on, the collaborative model for remote experimentation laboratory which involves ameans of group communication between students performing experiment has been found quiteeffective.Despite this discovery, feedback questionnaires still record a high percentage of dissatisfactionfrom performing experiments on remote experimentation laboratory, hereby requiring a newapproach.Instead of the usual “Question-to-Solution” model, this paper uses a “Solution-to-Question” modelin the implementation of remote experimental laboratory. Solution-to-question model involvesproviding an already finished experiment that requires reconstruction and then questions are askedon the reconstructed experiment. In working back, the student asks questions and in the processgets more understanding of the problem and the experiment at hand. In addition to this model achat system is included to induce addiction and hence collaboration between students. A platformis designed using Labview G-language which uses Skype as its chat engine. The experimentsprovided on this platform focus on first and second order analysis.This approach helps increase the satisfaction and hence the knowledge base of the student. Theimplication of this paper is that students who find it difficult to solve problems sometimes tend tolearn more when they are given a solution and are asked to work back to the question.Key word: Solution-to-Question, Collaboration, Addiction
