How do the Model Maps created using the coarser grain analysis based on work products compare to the finer grain analysis based on protocol data? 2. Do the coarser grain data give a reasonable representation of a team’s modeling process?Assessing Learning in Virtual LaboratoriesVirtual laboratories, simulations, and educational games have recently been receivingconsiderable attention as an alternative mode to university instructional laboratories to achievelearning.7,8 In engineering and science, the virtual laboratory is most commonly used as
