literature fell into the engineering domain andthat each lab type had value while focusing on different learning objectives. The authorsdid acknowledge that no standard criteria to measure the effectiveness of the lab work hasbeen developed. Several other researchers have demonstrated the effectiveness of virtuallabs in the sciences. For example Shin8 and colleagues found virtual labs in chemicalengineering “help students to understand the fundamentals of unit operations…” and hadother learning benefits. The authors note, “It is also expected to contribute to increasingstudents’ adaptability by working in real world process plants after graduating.” Anadditional example is the Virtual ChemLab9 which provides a parallel to this project.The creators
