The iterative refining process covered four semesters,Fall 2009, Spring 2010, Fall 2010 and Spring 2011.Nature of Instructional ActivitiesThe nature of instructional activity in the GIS laboratory changed throughout the fourimplementation cycles. During first two semesters the GIS laboratory was a stand-aloneinstructional activity placed at the beginning of the course with minimal classroom support fromthe teaching assistants. The assumption was that students will fully use the GIS

the six teachersthat completed post-implementation surveys, 100% stated that they intended to use the VirtualLaboratory Project again. The majority of those interviewed also expressed interest in using theVirtual Laboratory Project in subsequent years.Sources of EffectivenessIn this preliminary report of findings, some of the authors’ expected sources of effectivenesswere found to be reinforced by both teachers and students interviewed and surveyed. One ofthese sources was the situated, industrial context of the instructional design. Three questions onthe post-implementation survey elicited responses consistent with this source of effectiveness: • What need in your teaching did the laboratory address? • What specific content, concepts

It is anticipated that the dissemination will also reach out to international schools wherebudget constraints and lack of expensive laboratory facilities make the Pandora box an idealinstrument for teaching electrical engineering experiments.6.
