Many researchers1,5, 6, 7 suggest that there is potential for the use of Web 2.0 within the classroom, but there are stillseveral barriers and precautions necessary prior to a successful deployment of the technology foreducational purposes. Hamid, Chang, & Kurnia8 and Williams and Chinn9 suggest that carefuland highly scrutinized planning must take place prior to any implementation of Web 2.0technologies.

Common applications of the VR-based education include computer-aided design(CAD), manufacturing automation, control, robotics, manufacturing assembly planning,manufacturing system visualization and simulation. 3, 4, 5Despite its advantages, very few applications of VR based laboratory education for distancelearning have been reported in the literature. 6, 7 The common developed VR-based laboratoryeducation systems are dedicated to education and training with the local students. They requirehigh computer knowledge and skills for operations, which are found too sophisticated foreducational purposes. The studies often overlook the importance of the VR

They also neglect to notice whether the curriculum and facilities,teachers, and services meet the goal of extension education, and whether the professionalprograms are of excellent quality. Therefore, schools must understand whether the programplanning and teaching content meets the degree of perception and satisfaction of learners(Finn, 2002; Wang, 2008). Therefore, the appropriateness of the program planning andteaching content can be determined. These can be used as the reference for draftingdevelopment strategies in the future.
