PurposeThe purpose of this article is to give an overview of the development of a Virtual Research Environment (VRE) conceptual model for the management of research data at a South African university.Design/methodology/approachThe research design of this article consists of empirical and non-empirical research. The non-empirical part consists of a critical literature review to synthesise the strengths, weaknesses (limitations) and omissions of identified VRE models as found in literature to develop a conceptual VRE model. As part of the critical literature review concepts were clarified and possible applications of VREs in research lifecycles and research data lifecycles were explored. The empirical part focused on the practical application of this model. This part of the article follows an interpretivist paradigm, and a qualitative research approach, using case studies as inquiry method. Case studies with a positivist perspective were selected through purposive sampling, and inferences were drawn from the sample to design and test a conceptual VRE model, and to investigate the management of research data through a VRE. Investigation was done through a process of participatory action research (PAR) and included semi-structured interviews and participant observation data collection techniques. Evaluation of findings was done through formative and summative evaluation.FindingsThe article presents a VRE conceptual model, with identified generic component layers and components that could potentially be applied and used in different research settings/disciplines. The article also reveals the role that VREs play in the successful management of research data throughout the research lifecycle. Guidelines for setting up a conceptual VRE model are offered.Practical implicationsThis article assisted in clarifying and validating the various components of a conceptual VRE model that could be used in different research settings and disciplines for research data management.Originality/valueThis article confirms/validates generic layers and components that would be needed in a VRE by synthesising these in a conceptual model in the context of a research lifecycle and presents guidelines for setting up a conceptual VRE model.

Virtual laboratory is an interactive learning media that is more effective than conventional media. The implementation and development of the virtual laboratory technology was carried out in the production system laboratory of the Industrial Engineering Department. This is an improvement effort from previous research that still has some shortcomings, especially in aspects of user interaction with the virtual environment. This development is increasingly important because of the frequency of human error when practical activities are running. The development of this virtual laboratory follows the ADDIE model which includes the process of analyzing, designing, developing, implementation, and evaluation. The method for developing virtual laboratories is carried out using the principle of Goal-Directed Design which focuses on user goals. GDD consists of several phases, namely research, modeling, requirements definition, framework definition, refinement, and development support. The output of this method is a virtual laboratory application that has been created with a unity 3D game engine and will be installed on HTC Vive Pro hardware. Evaluation is carried out using a Likert scale by considering aspects of evaluating functional and non-functional requirements. Functional aspects consist of aspects of interaction, visualization, and information. Nonfunctional aspects consist of aspects of usability, performance, and reliability.
