Integración de laboratorios online de automática y telecomunicación en los sistemas de gestión de aprendizaje mediante SCORM

[ES]Los laboratorios online o WebLabs son valiosos recursos de apoyo a la docencia que se pueden definir como contenidos de e-learning. Una de las últimas tendencias en el desarrollo de WebLabs ha sido su integración en los Sistemas de Gestión de Aprendizaje (LMS). Esta tesis presenta una propuesta de integración avanzada Lab-LMS basada en el uso de SCORM (Shared Content Object Reference Model) para definir el contenido y realizar comunicaciones Lab-LMS. Se presenta una clasificación de modos de integración, se describen una serie de herramientas, desarrolladas específicamente para facilitar la integración propuesta, y una metodología genérica para crear laboratorios online. También se describen ejemplos de laboratorios online desarrollados siguiendo el modelo de integración propuesto que se han creado utilizando la metodología y las herramientas creadas en el ámbito de este trabajo. Los resultados obtenidos demuestran que los laboratorios obtenidos presentan una gran efectividad para el aprendizaje de los alumnos.[EN] WebLabs or online labs are valuable resources to support teaching that can be defined as e-learning content.

A classification of modes of integration is presented and a set of tools, that has been developed specifically to facilitate the integration proposal, and a generic methodology to create online laboratories are described. Examples of online laboratories, developed following the proposed integration model, and using the methodology and tools developed within the scope of this work are also described. The results show that obtained laboratories show that they are highly effective for student learning.Tesis Univ. Jaén.

Building SCORM embedded WebLabs with LMS interaction

Electronic ISBN:978-1-4799-3922-0 ISSN Information: Print ISSN: 0190-5848 Electronic ISSN: 2377-634X DOI: 10.1109/FIE.2014.7043993 Conference Location: Madrid, SpainAbstract: This paper outlines a new procedure for building educational Web Laboratories (WebLabs). These WebLabs are based on JAVA and are offered to learners from Learning Management Systems (LMSs). The Virtual-Remote Laboratories (VRL) are JAVA Applets embedded in Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) packages that are able to interact with the LMS where they are hosted. This interaction is based on the exchange of information defined by the Run-Time Environment (RTE) and the Run-Time Navigation (RTN) SCORM data models. Both models are managed by the LMS where the SCORM content has been loaded. There are three types of data: read-only, write-only and read/write. In addition, a new JAVA package called scormRTE is presented; it has been developed to facilitate the VRL-LMS information exchange. This package enables a JAVA applet to manipulate directly all the elements of RTN and RTE data models. For the validation, a VRL, created with Easy Java Simulations (EJS), has been developed using this proposal. This VRL has been embedded into a SCORM package in order to build a virtual WebLab about dynamic system modeling. In particular, it is the modelling and identification of a car's suspension dynamics. This WebLab is used in an Industrial Automation course that is offered in several Engineering Grades of the University of Jaén. It is available in the institutional LMS
