Abstract

Remote laboratories provide 24/7 web access to real laboratory experiments when physical access is impractical, giving real world experience to online students. But remote laboratories lack an instructor to give real time feedback, which is an essential part of learning. In this research real time feedback was implemented in the NetLab remote laboratory at UniSA. Learning analytics showed that students made repetitive errors that could be identified automatically in real time using static rules and dynamic simulation. This thesis describes the resulting support system, and is the first to thoroughly explore how students respond to the support system in the context of the remote laboratory. Student action analysis, survey results and practical report grades all show that students benefitted from the support system, fixing errors faster and obtaining more correct experiment results.
