JISC

The proposal is to develop a short term scoping study, with a highly practical orientation, to determine the contribution which the virtual/remote laboratory could make to the development of a Shared Virtual Learning Environment (SVLE).

The objectives of the study are to:

• Assess the applicability of different forms of virtual/ remote laboratory
• Determine relevant technologies and standards and their feasibility in the light of the distribution of required technologies in the HE sector
• Consider their relevance to home or work-based students
• Estimate costs and savings including efficiency gains
• Explore the educational benefits including the quality of the learning experience
• Consider potential partnerships with local and regional businesses determine the relationship between technical frameworks and subject content
• Recommend a development strategy to YHUA.
