physically separated into two rooms sothat they could not communicate directly with each other but could do so only by text-chattingwithin the virtual laboratory environment. A teaching assistant was present in each room to helpthe students.In order to evaluate the usability of this game engine-based laboratory, a data set containing thestudents’ videogame playing background and a game log, which tracks the students’ activities,were collected and analyzed. The result shows that all students were able to complete thelaboratories regardless of their prior videogame playing experience. Also, it was discovered thatfrom the students’ laboratory operation perspective, most students made mistakes beforecompleting all tasks. From a collaboration perspective
