WEB-BASED SIMULATION OF AN ENGINEERING INSTRUCTIONAL LABORATORY Constantinos Iliopoulos The emergence
of several kinds of electronic media and devices that connect to the
Internet has created the opportunity for a wide variety of educators
to provide different types of educational materials to their
students/learners. It is still a considerable challenge to set up
comprehensive, online engineering in-structional laboratories to
teach students online about the use of scientific in-struments or
processes linked with scientific experiments. Efforts for developing
simulation applications that are meant to be delivered through
websites have faced the inherent limitations of technologies like
Adobe Flash and/or the requirement for the use of high cost
development tools. The development of an online simulation system to
facilitate learning of modern electronics is showcased and
critically discussed. A case is made for the integration of Web 2.0
social computing elements and gamification principles in the
developed online simulation system to enhance it further as a
learning environment. |
