Online-Labs in Education

The digitalisation or virtualisation of lab equipment in higher education promises numerous benefits for all those involved. Economic benefits from sharing lab infrastructures, convenient remote access to labs anytime and anywhere, as well as the sharing and linking of lab-based lectures are just some of the advantages that come to mind when thinking of online lab infrastructures. However, the technical, didactical and organisational effort required to digitalise labs should not be underestimated. The different chapters of this book provide insights into these different aspects from the perspectives of both researchers and lecturers.
