Virtual labs can provide remote-access to various disciplines of Science,Technology, and Engineering (STE) disciplines and are a cost-efficient way for schools anduniversities to organize high-quality laboratory work. Due to constrictions on time andgeographical distances, virtual-labs can be used to share costly equipment and resources, whichare otherwise available to a limited number of users.

However, the course instructorsin chemical engineering have selected the dedicated meeting approach described above ratherthan this alternate approach, because it guarantees a completely devoted time period for eachteam with the instructor. Thus, the practice of a regular checkup espoused by Davis [2] isaccomplished. In the laboratory checkup scenario described above, not all teams may getindividual time with the instructor each week. The preferred approach is more time consumingfor the instructors, however it is worthwhile, since it better ensures the success of all teams ineach course offering. The effectiveness
