Design And Implementation Of A Fully Online And Remote Lab Course Under The Covid-19 Pandemic

This case study focuses on developing a fully online material testing course while keeping the experiential learning component for the students. The course of interest is a junior level plastics engineering course, PLE-360 (Testing and Analysis of Plastics), during which students are required to utilize various equipment to characterize polymers. Along with online lectures, remote labs are designed and implemented. During these labs, students remotely log into the computers, design the experimental program, conduct the tests, collect and analyze the data. The effectiveness of this practice is assessed through examining students’ lab grades and overall course grades. It is found that such remote lab course not only delivers the same learning content as the in-person class but also provides the “hands-on” experience to the students with much reduced risk of infection

Remote Experimentation supported by Learning Analytics and Recommender Systems

This paper proposes a process based on learning analytics and recommender systems targeted at making suggestions to students about their remote laboratories activities and providing insights to all stakeholders taking part in the learning process. To apply the process, a log with requests and responses of remote experiments from the VISIR project were analyzed. A request is the setup of the experiment including the assembled circuits and the configurations of the measuring equipment. In turn, a response is a message provided by the measurement server indicating measures or an error when it is not possible to execute the experiment. Along the two phases of analysis, the log was analyzed and summarized in order to provide insights about students' experiments. In addition, there is a recommendation service responsible for analyzing the requests thus returning, in case of error, precise information about the assembly of circuits or configurations. The evaluation of the process is consistent in what regards its ability to afford recommendations to the students as they carry out the experiments. Moreover, the summarized information intends to offer teachers means to better understand and develop strategies to scaffold students' learning.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Improving the use of remote laboratories. The case of VISIR at Universidad Nacional de Rosario

The present work originates in the Project "Educational Modules for Electric and Electronic Circuits Theory and Practice following an Inquiry-based Teaching and Learning Methodology supported by VISIR", carried out with the support of the Erasmus+ Programme. Remote labs can provide a framework where physical experiments can be developed for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education. Although remote labs have been in use for over a decade now in several countries and levels of education, their use is not yet being generalized in Latin America. Through the VISIR+ International Cooperation Project from the Erasmus+ Programme, five higher education institutions from Latin America have incorporated de VISIR remote lab in order to carry out experiments with electric and electronic circuits. In the present work, the results of the study developed at Universidad Nacional de Rosario within the framework of the aforementioned project are shown.This work was carried out with the economic support of the European Commission through Project 561735-EPP-12015-1-PTEPPKA2-CBHE-JP and by Universidad Nacional de Rosario, through Project PID 1ING505.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

The Educational Benefit of a Remote Automatic Control Laboratory. A Win-Win Collaboration between Asia and Europe

This project aims to implement a Remote European Asian Lab, an Automatic Control remote laboratory, in the joint academic cooperation framework between two universities located in Europe and Central Asia. Emphasis is given to the inclusive solution of a shared teaching facility and its learning achievements in a bachelor course (Uzbekistan) and a master course (Italy) to foresee a better education quality. The different cultural and social contexts allow (a) the evaluation of the effect obtained by introducing a remote laboratory experience in a course entirely theoretical, and (b) the shift from a physical laboratories experience to a remote one. Students are first introduced to this laboratory by the lecturer in dedicated classes. Then students can independently access it 24/7 by simply booking a specific station for a time slot. From the analysis comes out that remote laboratory experiences positively impact learning achievements. The benefits of the remote environment are perfectly comparable with those obtained from physical laboratory activities

Industry 4.0 Competencies as the Core of Online Engineering Laboratories

Online laboratories are widely used in higher engineering education and due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they have taken on an even greater relevance. At Tecnologico de Monterrey, Mexico, well-established techniques such as Problem-Based Learning (PBL), Project-Oriented Learning (POL) and Research-Based Learning (RBL) have been implemented over the years, and over the past year, have been successfully incorporated into the students’ learning process within online and remote laboratories. Nevertheless, these learning techniques do not include an element which is crucial in today’s industrialized world: Industry 4.0 competencies. Therefore, this work aims to describe a pedagogical approach in which the development of Industry based competencies complements the aforementioned learning techniques. The use and creation of virtual environments and products is merged with the understanding of fundamental engineering concepts. Further, a measurement of the students’ perceived self-efficacy related to this pedagogical approach is carried out, focusing on the physiological states and mastery experiences of the students. An analysis of its results is presented as well as a discussion on these findings, coupled with the perspectives from different key stakeholders on the importance of the educational institutions’ involvement in developing Industry 4.0 competencies in engineering students. Finally, comments regarding additional factors which play a role in the educational process, but were not studied at this time, as well as additional areas of interest are given

Cooperación internacional para el desarrollo y uso de laboratorios remotos para la enseñanza de la física

Un laboratorio remoto es un recurso tecnológico que integra dos aspectos esenciales de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC): la experimentación real realizada a través de Internet, junto a software y hardware para la adquisición de datos y cálculo. Los laboratorios remotos constituyen un recurso didáctico relevante para la enseñanza de las ciencias experimentales, en particular de la Física. Si bien la existencia de laboratorios remotos ha evidenciado un importante crecimiento en los últimos años, las instituciones educativas que ya cuentan con estos recursos están localizadas principalmente en los países desarrollados de Europa mientras que, en Latinoamérica, solo seis países disponen de estos recursos para la enseñanza, siendo heterogéneo el grado de desarrollo y experiencia de los mismos. Un paso adicional en el desarrollo de estos recursos para la enseñanza a través de la experimentación es el de compartir los laboratorios remotos ya desarrollados permitiendo a la comunidad educativa de distintas instituciones, el acceso y uso de sus laboratorios remotos, de modo que un estudiante pueda hacer más experimentos y que un experimento pueda ser hecho por más estudiantes. En este trabajo se informa sobre experiencias en Argentina, Costa Rica y Brasil, devenidas de la cooperación entre instituciones educativas y organizaciones europeas y americanas, sobre desarrollo, acceso y uso compartido de laboratorios remotos para la enseñanza de temas de Física. Las actividades de cooperación posibilitaron la instalación de nuevos laboratorios y el uso compartido de otros. Como producto de ello, se desarrollaron acciones de capacitación de docentes y uso de los laboratorios remotos para la experimentación en cursos regulares de ciencias, ingeniería y de formación de profesores en los países mencionados.Los autores agradecen el apoyo financiero proporcionado por la Comisión Europea a través de la concesión 561735-­EPP-­1-­20151-­PT-­EPPKA2-­CBHE-­JP, así como de la Universidad Nacional de Rosario, a través del proyecto PID 1ING505N/

Laboratorios remotos y virtuales: recursos para la educación en Física

Este trabajo presenta un estudio exploratorio y descriptivo sobre la selección, caracterización, uso y valoración de laboratorios remotos y laboratorios virtuales en la educación en Física en condiciones de no presencialidad. La metodología incluyó la búsqueda, caracterización, selección e implementación en el aula de laboratorios remotos y virtuales, así como el diseño y aplicación de un cuestionario a estudiantes para la valoración de la propuesta. De la gran variedad de recursos disponibles solamente unos pocos se adaptaron a los criterios de selección que, entre otros aspectos, consideraron los contenidos disciplinares y el nivel de educación universitario. Los recursos seleccionados implementados con guías didácticas especialmente confeccionadas para la educación no presencial fueron valorados positivamente por los estudiantes en diferentes aspectos, entre ellos la capacidad de operar en cualquier momento repitiendo el experimento tantas veces como sea necesario y promoviendo de este modo el involucramiento del estudiante en sus aprendizajes. Es importante resaltar la versatilidad de estos recursos para acompañar la actividad experimental en educación no presencial o en una propuesta de educación mixta como la que se está transitando en el 2021
