Paper Abstract:
|
Remote laboratories have been utilized in engineering education for several years now. What started out as interesting concepts in research projects, soon gained attraction due to the prospects of cost saving and increased availability for the students. Remote laboratories also allowed students not present at the universities to be given access to physical laboratory experiments. The first remote controlled experiments merely gave the user an online interface to the experiment, and little or no effort was spent on the pedagogical aspects of actually performing the exercise. Pedagogical development in the context of remote laboratories has emerged as a new research area, leading to critical thinking of how these laboratories are used, how the interface is designed and how these are linked to other elements of the exercise program at the universities. This later development is the topic of this paper: How remote laboratories can be used to enhance learning by splitting up the learning objectives and by integration with collaboration tools. |
