Abstract:

In order to facilitate flexible learning in engineering and science laboratory education, we have developed a specific laboratory course design: laboratory immersion. This concept is a combination of three other lab styles: hands-on, virtual and remote labs. The physics laboratory immersion is implemented and evaluated by students and teaching staff. This new method has some strengths such as increased flexibility and student activity, but it also needs some improvements such as teamwork and informal practicing.
