Analysis stage in the development of a virtual laboratory electric motor installation for vocational high schools

Abstract

The study aimed to find out the design of instructional media which is suitable for practical learning of electric motor installation. It used needs analysis and front-end analysis which was carried out at Vocational High Schools in Yogyakarta. The result showed that the developing two-or three-dimensional media in the form of virtual laboratories was strongly recommended. Virtual laboratories was able to visualize the components according to real conditions. The concepts and work principles of electric motor installations were showed in the form of a two-or three-dimensional simulation. Virtual laboratories was expected to help virtual learning and train students' independence and competence in practicing electric motor installation.
