Abstract

For the class “Experimental Physics for Engineers” (1500 students each winter term) at the University of Stuttgart online laboratories (80% “virtual labs”/simulations and 20% remote experiments) are optional learning resources. In a new long-term investigative set-up the learning effects of online laboratories as well as the other learning resources are to be detected.
