This project seeks to demonstrate the use of remote experimentation and 3D virtual environments applied to the teaching-learning in the areas of exact sciences-physics. In proposing the combination of remote experimentation and 3D virtual worlds in teaching-learning process, we intend to achieve greater geographic coverage, contributing to the construction of new methodologies of teaching support,...
Nowadays, the assessment of body composition by estimating the percentage of body fat has a great impact in many fields such as nutrition, health, sports, chronic diseases and others. The main purpose for this work is to demonstrate the development of a Virtual Instrument that permits more effective assessment of body fat, automatic data processing, recording results and storage in a database, with...
In order to provide a more flexible learning environment in physics, the developed projectile launch apparatus enables students to determine the acceleration of gravity and the dependence of a set of parameters in the projectile movement. This apparatus is remotely operated and accessed via web, by first scheduling an access time slot. This machine has a number of configuration parameters that support...
Emerging technologies provide the necessary support to develop online educational modules with online experiments through web platforms for educational and training frameworks. Combining design techniques and virtual and augmented reality, templates, contents and interfaces could improve users' analytical capabilities of perception and cognition, and allowing the development of more attractive online...
This article presents the development of a monitoring and supervision system using power line communication technology and the data acquisition system. This was done by research and case study at laboratories of Faculdade SATC, using a web microserver with the power line to transmit and receive data through PLC (Power Line Communication) technology as a solution for remote monitoring. The variable...
The Makerere University iLabs Project Team (iLabs@MAK) has designed and implemented online laboratories based on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) iLabs Shared Architecture (ISA), a scalable model that provides highly reliable generic experiment services independent of the experiment domains. This paper presents the design process of a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) FPGA-based...
This paper reports on the progress of work underway at the Centre for Educational Innovation and Technology at the University of Queensland to construct a new remote laboratories architecture based on contemporary and emerging web standards. The RESTlabs architecture uses the concept of self-describing APIs to provide discoverability of capabilities and the replacement of bespoke code with code generated...
The paper describes the objectives and the first results of the new research project WOAS - Architecture and Interfaces for a Web-oriented Automation System. The aim of the project is to research a new architecture for automation systems based on Web technologies.
Active learning or working by means of online laboratories is especially valuable for distance working or education. Users in the workplace can access remote laboratories without having to travel. This flexibility is important for teleworking, education and lifelong learning. The implementation and maintenance of online labs is expensive and partially associated with high administrative efforts. These...
Online experimentation provides innovative and valuable tools for use in academy, in high schools, in industry and in medical areas. It has also become a precious tool for educational and training purposes in any of those areas. Looking at online experimentation as a pure distance learning tool it represents a very efficient way of sharing hands-on capabilities, for example with developing countries...
With internet marketing being a driving force behind the growing internet economy, innovative and efficient ways to reach target markets are being pursued. In this paper we present the design and implementation of an advertising framework which uses cloud connected home automation systems as the advertising platform. Moreover, en suite location awareness of the home automation system aids in effective...
The paper presents the Keppel method allowing investigators to interact with design and analysis of new remote experiments using quantitative criteria. In fact it is a presentation of analysis of variance procedures to appreciate the knowledge contained in one remote laboratory work and if this content will determine treatment effects in learner behavior.
This paper is concerned with potential solutions for multiuser remote access to the graphic 3D simulation system CIROS for use as a virtual learning laboratory. The options for the application virtualization of CIROS by means of a virtual machine monitor and application streaming are described. The individual test results for simultaneous remote access by several users will be discussed.
This article presents the use of remote experimentation laboratories integrated with 3D virtual worlds and their application in the school context. The use of this educational tool is designed to complement the teaching and learning. Using technology in teaching to promote learning beyond the classroom. The remote experimentation has been configured as an alternative to promote this learning supplement...
At the moment, Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) is one of the most widely used protocols for serial data communication in embedded systems. The purpose of this paper is to show a simple solution to communicate with I2C devices using the PC's parallel port and LabVIEW graphical programming environment. First, a low-cost 2-wire interface and an associated I2C LabVIEW library are presented. Then, a number...
We present a system, PortableAR, that aims to provide Augmented Reality (AR) to diverse environments, like guided tourism visits or industrial maintenance tasks. The first version relied on AR tags and had low accuracy while the last version provides a successful AR experience using SURF and homography.
A good part of the local research objectives, in the teleengineering field, concerns the remote monitoring of manufacturing machines. Of all the developed remote monitoring solutions, this paper is written in regard to the one that has a completely self-developed hardware and software monitoring solution The new, specialized, version of the own data acquisition PCB (Printed Circuit Board) and the...
We have engineered an optical microscope that can be operated via the internet using most of the internet and networking capable devices including laptops and desktop computers. The system offers a user the ability to conduct visual inspection of samples, microelectronic devices and manipulation experiments in the field of biology. The remote controlled microscope is programmed to perform acquisition...
