Tool 8: Golabz https://www.golabz.eu/
In-Class instruction: We were asked to go through and explore the Golabz environment and complete an assignment. Few videos were provided on moodle to help us understand the UX and also how to create an ILS.
Assignment: We were asked to create an Inquiry Learning Space in Golabz for the topic of our choice.
Process:
As I was already working on my pilot study on heat transfer during this time, I thought it best to choose heat transfer for this assignment too.
The videos provided in Moodle were helpful in getting started as they had detailed instructions with examples on how to create an ILS. I used those examples as a basis for creating my ILS.
Before starting, I went through already available labs on heat transfer to decide how the inquiry system should be.
Then I decided the context of the inquiry. I decided to go with the same context as my pilot study, that is the re-entry of space shuttle into the atmosphere
Following the steps given in the example video, I created and published an ILS system in Golabz.
Pros of the tool:
The biggest benefit of Golabz is the integration and availability of different labs in the same interface.
The accessibility of all labs, Apps, and inquiries is one of the biggest benefits of this tool.
