Abstract

This paper explores the process of design and development of an online laboratory learning experience. Constant evaluation, iterative development, reuse and combination of existing learning objects are fundamental considerations. A generic development process based on this practical approach is described. Finally, findings arising from creation of a simple online laboratory are discussed, concluding with an exploratory comparison of online and live laboratories.
