Abstract
The aim of this study was the 3-dimensional active learning methods and techniques, interactive, multiuser and innovative
Istanbul University Virtual Laboratory (IUVIRLAB) is to introduce the physics laboratory was developed as a model and
investigate its relationships between communication skills with the usage of IUVIRLAB. Although there are many computer
simulations and virtual laboratory applications, the model introduced in this study has a unique characteristics in terms of being a
3-dimensional, interactive virtual laboratory that enables students to learn in cooperative groups, and is the first in its kind due to
its qualities of enabling multi-admin. and multi-user operation, having a special software compatible to run on iPad, iPhone,
android and smart phone platforms, and having been designed on the basis of active learning approaches and provocate
innovation approach in e-learning. Due to its multi-user and internet accessible nature, the produced virtual physics laboratory
was designed in a way suitable for the use of all active learning(problem-based learning in cooperative groups, cooperative
learning, project-based learning, inquiry-based learning, research-based learning, learning through invention and structuralist
learning) approaches that can be carried out with cooperative groups.
