Providing adequate laboratory experience that is convenient for both lecturers and students has long been a major challenge in science, engineering, and technology education.
This challenge extends to both traditional laboratory courses, where classes are scheduled within specific timeframes and conducted on-site within academic institutions, and distance learning programs, which often lack significant laboratory-based courses.
In eight sections (see sections’ calls for chapters), this book volume aims to present research findings that encompass both new experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic and long-term research efforts on online laboratories and virtual experimentation in educational contexts.
It invites submissions from researchers and practitioners across all disciplines to explore current trends, critical challenges, and future opportunities for laboratory-based education in the context of online learning.
Call Details and Timeline:
This book project will follow a 2-step review process.
- Prospective authors are invited to submit a chapter proposal to one of the sections first, no later than October 15, 2023. On the basis of the 2-page proposal, the editorial team may invite the authors to submit a full manuscript or reject the submission
- The chapter proposals should include a title, authors, affiliations, chapter abstract describing the content of the chapter (max. 2 pages), keywords, key references, and a 2-3 sentence describing how the chapter fits the theme of the respective section
