Abstract

The limitations of laboratory practice lead to graduates’ low competence. This study aims to develop a web-based virtual laboratory application to overcome the inability to implement laboratory practicums due to limited facilities and regulations related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The application was built using the system development life cycle (SDLC) model. The results from the LMS virtual labs test revealed the high suitability of the application for use. The Virtual Labs module application as LMS content was considered feasible and effective for use in basic science and technology laboratory practicums. The study recommended the use of the virtual laboratory application so that students could perform laboratory practicums virtually and independently as if in a real laboratory without being hindered by time, laboratory facilities, and instructors. © 2022 Itsaso Arocena, Asier Huegun-Burgos & Itziar Rekalde-Rodriguez; published by UIKTEN.
