dc.description.abstractUsage and switching from physical to virtual laboratories is fast growing and gaining more momentum and popularity among the teachers, students and technologists as a result of advancement and improvement in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in this 21st century otherwise known as digital age which is also necessitated by the spread of Covid-19. The design for this study was descriptive study. The study sampled thirteen (13) laboratory technologists who were conveniently selected across the federal and state tertiary institutions in Nigeria responded to the Google form questionnaire link shared on their various WhatsApp platform. The instrument used for this study was adapted and tagged “views of Science Laboratory Technologist on Virtual Labs Questionnaire” with three possible Likert scales (Agree, Neutral and Disagree). The face and construct validity of the instrument was determined by ICT experts and analyzed with a validity and reliability indexes of 0.72 & 0.68. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics (frequency, percentages and chart diagram) Overall feedback shows that most laboratory scientists’ (75%) concluded that virtual laboratories aid teaching-learning process, especially during the period of Corona Virus pandemic lockdown and to a greater extent, it helps the application of students’ theoretical knowledge into practice, it promotes students self-learning, prepare students to get more familiar with experiments’ and also helps them to handle the equipment correctly before entering physical labs.
