“…Our work deals with a 3D virtual laboratory that generates web applications for collaborative learning based on a unified design model and systematic guidelines. Many virtual and remote laboratories have been developed in the past decades (El Kharki et al 2016;August et al 2016;Abramov et al 2017;Niandou et al 2017;Mostefaoui et al 2017;Broisin et al 2017;Astutik et al 2018;El Kharki et al 2018;Gardner et al 2018;Stauffer et al 2018;Carlos et al 2019;Wästberg et al 2019;Wahyono et al 2020;Bogusevschi et al 2019;Correia et al 2020;Kolil et al 2020;Salame et al 2021;.

This paper introduces a virtual laboratory that aims to support the quick development and easy assimilation of practical works by learners and exchange documents between them via a shared virtual space. The proposed laboratory, named 3DVL@ES (web-based 3D virtual laboratory in experimental science), defines an agile design process to automatically generate 3D pedagogical web applications and provide very appreciable interactivity, flexibility, and collaboration for practical works development. Also, 3DVL@ES includes the specification of learners' interactions and collaborations on a unified application model to assist and automate the creation of new 3D interfaces related to practical work in experimental sciences. 3DVL@ES has been applied in a real case study of Daniel's Battery. The obtained results have been compared with other virtual laboratories to show the usefulness of 3DVL@ES. Experimental results show that 3DVL@ES laboratory easily achieves complex practical works with the integration of cooperation and collaboration aspects.

Educators often struggle to teach cellular and molecular processes in microbiology because they usually only have tools based on only two dimensions and are not as attractive as multimedia tools. Learning research has demonstrated that visualizing processes in three dimensions aids learning, and animations are effective visualization tools for novice learners and aid with long-term memory retention. Thus, with increasing adoption of immersive virtual reality as an enabling strategy for teaching has challenged researchers, educators, and enthusiasts to produce both tools and content for these tools. High-fidelity graphics and immersive content using projection on increasingly inexpensive glasses have allowed students to explore complex subjects in a way that traditional teaching methods cannot. In this way, this work presents a prototype of a tool to facilitate the teaching of microbiology, contemplating both the pedagogical requirements of educational software and the technological ones necessary in the construction of an immersive virtual reality environment. Added to this proposal is the requirement to present a low-cost tool for both editing and visualization.
