American Society for Engineering Education, 2015 Usability Evaluation of a Virtual Educational Laboratory PlatformAbstractTaking advantage of videogame technology, game engine-based virtual laboratories are able tooffer promising immersive and collaborative learning experiences. Research indicates that suchvirtual laboratories can be viable alternative forms for laboratory learning activities with specialadvantages in distance education applications. Various researchers also evaluated whetherstudents learned target knowledge via virtual laboratory exercises. However, several questionsemerged during these evaluations: Can students complete this new form of laboratory exercises,which they have not encountered before, in an effective way? Can
