Important Amount

Nowadays, communication and web services are part of our lives, including education, and e-learning applications are used more and more. However, teaching in engineering sciences requires an important amount of practical experiments. Hence, remote laboratories are an attractive solution, offering new tools for both teachers and learners. Our objective is to propose a fully open source remote laboratory for generic practice, in all fields of engineering education or applied sciences. This work is based on an open source Supervisory Control and a Data Acquisition platform programmed with Python. Interoperability is one of the main issues considered here to ensure a wide compatibility with multi-communication protocols and multi-instruments used in practical labwork.

Education Process

Engineering education process is heavily relying on the practical hands-on experimentation. However, todayâ??s education is involving more and more e-learning aspects and learners expect to get most of the content and activity available over the Internet. Practical experiments is not trivial to carry out over the Internet, but using novel ICT technologies and integrated solution, it is possible to offer real experimentation over the Internet. This paper describes and presents the remote practical experiment system in robotic and embedded system domain.

A great number of remote laboratories has been implemented in the engineering field. Nevertheless, there are few approaching the bioengineering area. The present paper will describe not only an innovative remote laboratory developed for biomedical engineering education, but also its assessment based on the target public’s feedback. The remote laboratory developed by the research team intends to provide the physiological signals remote acquisition from human body, supported by theory to a greater understanding of learned concepts. This tool is geared towards the undergraduate biomedical engineering students. Therefore, a sample of twelve students took part in a limited study conducted to quantitatively and qualitatively assess the remote laboratory. The study was undertaken using two questionnaires, one distributed before and other after the performance of a remote experiment. Moreover, the information about the learning style/method, employed by each student, was collected in order to devise strategies for future applications development and to make the remote laboratory suitable for the target public.

Thanks to easier operability and a growing range of functions, open source products are increasingly being used in teaching GIS to students of various course programs. The elaboration of such courses poses the challenge of taking into account different study paths, allowing for student autonomy (e-learning), and choosing the right software. The article suggests answers to these questions by presenting the classes offered at the University of Applied Sciences in Deggendorf and the University of Passau since winter 2010/11 as well as ideas for future course offers.

Objective of the Book: Considering the involvement of multiple disciplines (software, hardware, computer interfacing, Web development, Web security, user interface, and learning management), the development process for an Internet accessible remote laboratory is complex. In the absence of any common framework, each development initiative starts from scratch and there is difficulty in transferring and integrating technologies from one laboratory implementation to another. The proposed book is a timely effort to collect current developments in this area, as well as offer some suggestions for future direction, while providing a benchmark for the community. The editors will take every effort to gather contributions from all the major players in this field to foster wider collaboration within the community.

An advanced multi-user and realtime INTernational-REmote-LABoratory (INT-RE-LAB) architecture is presented in this paper. The INT-RE-LAB is developed and localized in four different host universities. The software part is based on the use of a free license server Node.js written in JavaScript. It offers lightweight Html/JavaScript clients. The integration of socket.io module enables a real-time operation mode of this Client/Server communication. Associated with hardware architecture, collaborative remote manipulation of resources is enabling in the same way as a chat communication used in Internet. Each remote action performed by one user is instantaneously visible in other users’web interfaces. The hardware part includes a mini-computer that executes node.js server and hosts MySQL. Mini-computer “Pcduino” directly controls specifically developed relays circuit. It offers the required flexibility and reusability for current remote laboratories. Different redundant remote practical works integrate the INT-RE-LAB have been developed for the new EOLES “Electronics and Optic e-Learning for Embedded Systems” bachelor.

Recently The prestigious universities of the world strive and aim to computerize their distance education service and more specifically the remote practical work, which allows students to manipulate electronic experiments via the web, for to solve a set of problems: pedagogical, management, security, restriction by time and place and the problems the overcrowding of students in universities. This paper will describe the E@SLab system developed by the university Cadi Ayyad member of the e-live project funded by EU in the frame of ERASMUS+E@SLab is based on the latest technologies of development and respects educational and pedagogical standards. E@SLab offers 2 versions different of remote laboratory: first version (s1) is an embedded system its part software is node js+Ubuntu and the part hardware a card pcduino or raspebery. The second version (s2) is based on LABview and its hardware part is the NI ELVIS II pedagogical map. In this paper, we will compare and discuss the architecture, performance of the 2 versions of E@SLAB and review other famous approaches NetLab, VISIR, for comparing with E@SLab with the intention show its singularity.

Content Design

Educational technology is developing rapidly, making education more accessible, affordable, adaptable, and equitable. Students now have the option to choose a campus that can provide excellent blended learning curriculum with minimal geographical restraints. We proactively explore ways to maximize the power of educational technologies to increase enrollment, reduce failure rates, improve teaching efficiency, and cut costs without sacrificing high quality or placing extra burden on faculty. This mission is accomplished through open source learning content design and development. We developed scalable, shareable, and sustainable e-learning modules as book chapters that can be distributed through both computers and mobile devices. The resulting e-learning building blocks can automate the assessment processes, provide just-in-time feedback, and adjust the teaching material dynamically based upon each student’s strengths and weaknesses. Once built, these self-contained learning modules can be easily maintained, shared, and re-purposed, thus cutting costs in the long run. This will encourage faculty from different disciplines to share their best teaching practices online. The end result of the project is a sustainable knowledge base that can grow over time, benefit all the discipline, and promote learning.
