This paper describes a new holistic approach to integrate remote and virtual laboratories in the educational process. Aim of the integration is to test students' knowledge not only on lower levels as usual multiple choice tests and the like are doing, but also on higher-order thinking skills. Based on these tests the students should get a detailed feedback about their strengths, weaknesses or mis-conceptions...
In the paper pattern for the embedding of remote experiments into study curricula are considered. Two case studies of remote laboratories development and maintenance are described. SWOT analysis is suggested as the start point for any remote laboratory and educational infrastructure for its development. The quality assessment plan for the courses based on remote laboratories is suggested.
Online Laboratories are becoming more and more appealing in many educational scenarios due to technology advancements and the rising of pedagogical interests. Therefore, the scientific community that orbits around them is growing as well. Proper qualitative and quantitative analyses are needed to profile publications and their authors, to highlight trends and most promising research areas, to identify...
The diffusion of Information and Communication Technologies continuously allows users and customers to benefit from powerful devices, new functionalities and more appealing wireless services. However, the more mobile services are provided, the more telecommunication companies must comply with specific Quality of Service (QoS) levels. Therefore, users' requests can be guaranteed by increasing the offering...
Based on the complex grid infrastructure of the Ilmenau Interactive Hybrid Online Lab various possibilities of occurrence of malfunctions as well as mechanisms to avoid them will be discussed. This will be demonstrated by different examples. One implementation challenge is to protect the physical systems in the lab against wrong control algorithms or malicious trying to sabotage or to destroy the...
There has been a tremendous increase in the use and development of remote labs over the past decade. At Makerere University, remote experimentation has been made possible through the use of a scalable and generic platform-the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) iLabs Shared Architecture (ISA). With this middleware infrastructure, students in the College of Engineering, Design, Art and Technology...
Educational remote laboratories are software and hardware tools that allow students to remotely access real equipment located in universities as if they were in a hands-on-lab session. Since most remote labs share certain management tasks (authentication, Learning Analytics, scheduling, etc.), software systems implementing them on top of which remote labs could be implemented were developed and called...
The paper demonstrates remote control of the educational laboratory thermo-optical plant. Although this problem has already been addressed several times, there are always new technologies and therefore the approach to the remote experiments gradually changes. In this case the whole application, i.e. both client and server part, was built in JavaScript language and Node.js library.
To support the general and public knowledge about remote laboratories and remote experimentation without which the popularity of such a progressive teaching tool will not take its proper place in teaching, we have built the kit INCLINE - have built laboratory hands-on experiment - successively built remote experiment “Incline” and at the end setup the e-laboratory for teaching of remote experimentation...
The MIT iLab architecture (consisting of Lab Servers and Service Brokers) was designed in the 1990's and while the Lab Server was designed as a software service the same architectural approach was not adopted for the Service Broker. This paper reports on a redesign of the Service Broker as a software service, which is itself a collection of software services. In the process of this redesign it was...
The three kinds of laboratories in Indian Engineering Institutions are Conventional Labs, Virtual Labs and Remote labs. It is consistent across all branches in Engineering Institutions that the laboratory infrastructure is significantly underutilized due to factors such as security, timings, available working days etc. In addition to this, the student touch-time with a laboratory is significantly...
The technology is advancing so unstoppable even in times of crisis. Sometimes it is difficult to take advantage of it because in no time a new and improved version of the above techniques appears to continue this progress. Within educational technologies aimed at enhancing remote laboratories is the same. From HTTP to websockets communication protocols the technology offers new alternatives to improve...
This paper addresses the needs of authentication and authorization when the target engineering experiment objects are exported from the experiments provide server to an end user experiment scheduler web server (SWS). We discuss our solution based on using a novel unified framework for engineering experiment objects and integrating the MD5 encryption and decryption algorithm based security management...
