Dominik May University of Wuppertal Orcid 16x16 orcid.org/0000-0001-9860-1864

visit author page

Dr. May is a Professor at the University of Wuppertal. He researches online and intercultural engineering education. His primary research focuses on the development, introduction, practical use, and educational value of online laboratories (remote, virtual, and cross-reality) and online experimentation in engineering and technical education. In his work, he focuses on developing broader educational strategies for designing and using online engineering equipment, putting these into practice, and providing the evidence base for further development efforts. Moreover, Dr. May is developing instructional concepts to bring students into international study contexts to experience intercultural collaboration and develop respective competencies.

Dr. May is President of the International Association of Online Engineering (IAOE), which is an international nonprofit organization to encourage the wider development, distribution, and application of Online Engineering (OE) technologies and their influence on society. Furthermore, he serves as Editor-in-Chief for the International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Learning (iJET) intending to promote the interdisciplinary discussion of engineers, educators, and engineering education researchers around technology, instruction, and research. Dr. May has organized several international conferences in the Engineering Education Research field.

Abstract

This scoping review reports an ongoing review that synthesizes existing online laboratories research in engineering education. The paper identifies the learning outcomes that are assessed in empirical studies of online laboratories, the measurement tools that are used to assess these outcomes, and the adequacy of these tools. The review was based on studies selected after an extensive search of academic databases using relevant search terms and strategies. The articles retrieved were filtered using inclusion and exclusion criteria that helped us identify peer-reviewed articles, published on online laboratory learning outcomes within the last two decades (2002 - 2022). The selected articles were read and coded based on the KIPPAS (Knowledge and Understanding, Inquiry Skills, Practical Skills, Perception, Analytical Skills, Social and Scientific Communication) framework. The findings from this review suggest there is a need for more research into students' practical, inquiry, and analytical learning outcomes. This study also identifies current practices and identifies gaps in the existing literature. The implication of the findings for further research and practice were also discussed.
