Abstract

The concept of the virtual workplace is used in three initiatives to create an out-of-classroom environment where learners worked on virtual space while engaging in learning activities. The first involves a multigroup field-class working at geographically separated locations, under on-demand supervision from the lecturer on virtual workplace, using Internet, video and text messaging, on-demand file uploads and file transfers. The second involves use of virtual lab, to prepare for complicated laboratory procedures and reduce classroom time by allowing virtual hands-on lab exposure. The third initiative is supported by online learning resources, providing a learning environment on demand, on virtual workplace and hence with the associated freedom of choice. Learner responses to each of these initiatives are discussed.
