Track: Information Technology and Information Systems

Abstract

E-Learning is described as a mode of acquiring knowledge through the use of modern technologies to access educational resources outside the traditional classroom set up. With these concepts, the proponents decided to develop this project to utilize computer in aiding in learning particularly Chemistry Laboratory. In a survey conducted to Mapuan SHS students and Chemistry Professors, most agrees that a chemistry laboratory simulation would help them in the subject. The project aims to help students understand and prepare them for the actual laboratory experiment because students lack preparation for the experiment and the familiarization of equipment, utensils and procedures for that experiment. The simulation of laboratory experiments will focus on trying to recreate the outcome of the real experiment in a simulated environment while also having real-life visual and audio for the students. Tools for developing simulation applications have evolved from simulation subroutines to high level process languages built to visual development. A feature of a computer-based simulation is the possibility to replicate every possible scenario at a very low cost.
