Investigating Different Approaches on Online Laboratory Practices

Laboratories are an integral part of Engineering education. In this post-pandemic era, there is an increased emphasis on distance learning and hybrid approaches, which demands novel teaching and learning approaches to maintain the hands-on aspects of laboratory work. In this paper, different approaches for online laboratories are explored by encapsulating recent literature as well as the authors’ own experience in Electrical Engineering courses. Specific surveys are used to capture both student and staff perspectives and feedback on online learning approaches for laboratory classes. Recommendations are made based on student and staff experience with these approaches.
