Anand, S.; Farswan, R. S.; Fernandes, B. G. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2012
Experimentation is important for learning and research in the field of power electronics and drives. However, a great deal of equipment is required to study the various topologies, controllers, and functionalities. Thus, the cost of establishing good laboratories and research centers is high. To address this problem, the authors have developed a…

Visualization of Learning Scenarios with UML4LD
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Laforcade, Pierre – Journal of Learning Design, 2007
Present Educational Modelling Languages are used to formally specify abstract learning scenarios in a machine-interpretable format. Current tooling does not provide teachers/designers with some graphical facilities to help them in reusing existent scenarios. They need human-readable representations. This paper discusses the UML4LD experimental…

Remote Learning for the Manipulation and Control of Robotic Cells
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Goldstain, Ofir; Ben-Gal, Irad; Bukchin, Yossi – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2007
This work proposes an approach to remote learning of robotic cells based on internet and simulation tools. The proposed approach, which integrates remote-learning and tele-operation into a generic scheme, is designed to enable students and developers to set-up and manipulate a robotic cell remotely. Its implementation is based on a dedicated…

Parametric Optimization of Some Critical Operating System Functions--An Alternative Approach to the Study of Operating Systems Design
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Sobh, Tarek M.; Tibrewal, Abhilasha – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2006
Operating systems theory primarily concentrates on the optimal use of computing resources. This paper presents an alternative approach to teaching and studying operating systems design and concepts by way of parametrically optimizing critical operating system functions. Detailed examples of two critical operating systems functions using the…
