MERLOT Journal of Online Learning and Teaching Vol. 3, No. 2, June 2007 105 Virtual Labs in the Online Biology Course: Student Perceptions of Effectiveness and Usability Tracey A. StuckeyMickell Department of Educational Technology, Research & Assessment Northern Illinois University DeKalb, IL 60115 USA Bridget D. StuckeyDanner Department of Natural Sciences OliveHarvey College Chicago, IL 60628 USA Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate student perceptions of virtual biology labs used in two online introductory biology courses. Students completed an online survey, containing Likerttype and openended items, about perceptions of the CDROMbased virtual biology laboratories and facetoface (F2F) laboratories they completed during the courses. Findings indicated that though most students (86.9%) perceived the F2F laboratories as more effective than the virtual laboratories across several criteria, many of them (60.8% on one criterion) perceived the virtual laboratories as effective as well.
