Measuring the Need of Using Virtual Laboratory Based on Multimedia Technology as a Teaching and Learning Tool for Colleges Students at Tikrit University

Abstract

Over the years, virtual reality has become an essential part of education. Therefore, to determine the advantages and strengths of this technique and technology is understanding how can developed it and measured is crucial. In the same context, there has been changes in the educational field, Changing from the traditional lab environment to a virtual lab. Therefore, this study focuses on virtual laboratories. Indeed, the use of VL to remotely is to understand the practical part in an effective education. In other words, this study focused on educational research and student profiling in the virtual laboratory by making a qualitative analysis. So far, there is no research that provides student data connectivity in virtual labs and learning analytics. To develop this concept, the analysis for active learners and their learning understandings and knowledge was conducted at differents colleges of Tikrit University by using a qualitative method (discussion). To achieve that, this study aims to examine whether virtual laboratory is required in Tikrit University colleges to supporting traditional lab in the learning process. Finally, the results show that there is a strong need for the virtual lab to process the difficult practical aspects for some of the students in the sciences field such as medicine, dental, biology, and chemistry.
