In a three-ring binder, students would keep records of their work, includingprintout of spreadsheets, controller programs, etc. However, many students expressed reluctanceto this routine, part of the reason being the cost and inconvenience of printing. They regardedthe LN and, by association

quality learning outcomes for students. Prof Lindsay’s work in Remote and Virtual laboratory classes has shown that there are significant differ- ences not only in students’ learning outcomes but also in their perceptions of these outcomes, when they are exposed to the different access modes. These differences have powerful implications for the design of remote and virtual laboratory classes in the future, and also provide an opportunity to match alternative access modes to the intended learning outcomes that they enhance. Prof Lindsay is the Foundation Professor of Engineering at Charles Sturt University. His research interests centre largely around online learning – the use of remote and virtual laboratories, MOOCs

about developing some of thefoundational knowledge, skills and abilities that underpin successful fieldwork, typically theseare fostered separately in disparate parts of the curriculum. For example, cultural awareness isusually part of study abroad preparation, while fostering empathy as part of a user-centeredapproach to design is commonly associated with service learning programs. Likewise, anunderstanding of people and place is scattered across various liberal arts courses. It is unusual forany of these approaches and concerns to be associated with laboratory instruction.This paper makes the case that in preparing graduates for future engineering practice we need tobroaden our conception of what constitutes as a "laboratory" experience to
