Muthukumar, N.; Srinivasan, Seshadhri; Subathra, B.; Ramkumar, K. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2021
Contribution: This article explores how the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) could be leveraged to enhance the teaching/learning experience of advanced control techniques [e.g., model-predictive control (MPC)] for complex systems (nonlinear and multivariable) for undergraduate students. Background: The IIoTs' features, such as ubiquitous…

Pequeno, Jaildo Tavares; Fonseca, Benjamim; Lopes, Joaquim Bernardino Oliveira – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
This study contributes to learning improvement in practical classes in Computer Network technology courses, using the Physical Technological Laboratory (PTL) as a tool. Multimodal narration content analysis was used, which aggregates and organises the data collected in the PTL environment. Based on the results, we infer that both the student and…

Mehta, Vedant; Lane, Charles D. – Physics Education, 2018
SenseCube is a multisensor capable of measuring many different real-time events and changes in environment. Most conventional sensors used in introductory-physics labs use their own software and have wires that must be attached to a computer or an alternate device to analyze the data. This makes the standard sensors time consuming, tedious, and…

Laukens, Kris; Eyckmans, Marleen; De Neuter, Nicolas; Naulaerts, Stefan; Meysman, Pieter; Van Ostade, Xaveer – Journal of Biological Education, 2021
While computational biology and bioinformatics became an inherent part of most life science degrees, it remains challenging to encourage students to employ these diverse skills in a practical research context. In this education paper, we present a method to enable students to acquire hands-on skills by the data-driven study of complex biomolecular…

Mihai, Maryke A. – Africa Education Review, 2017
In April 2008, an interactive information communication technology (ICT) network was established in Mpumalanga, South Africa. the network involved the implementation of SMART board interactive whiteboards (IWBs) and collaboration between a leading school and several disadvantaged schools. the main purpose of the Mpumalanga IWB project was to reach…

Magney, Troy; Eitel, Karla; Eitel, Jan; Jansen, Vincent; Schon, Jenny; Rittenburg, Rebecca; Vierling, Lee – Science Teacher, 2013
Many students probably take pictures daily. Whether snapshots of their friends at a Justin Bieber concert or of their latest skateboard trick, these images document changes in a student's life. Digital cameras can do more, however, than record memories to post on Facebook. They can also help students examine changes in their environment. This…

Smith, Marissa L.; Cline, Mark A. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2011
Radford University was recently configured with a campus-wide wireless local area network. Using these new capabilities, a classroom-based Honors section of Concepts of Biology was conducted solely using electronic technologies (paper was never transferred from professor to student). To accomplish this, students used common software and freeware.…

Chang, Ben; Wang, Hsue-Yie; Peng, Tian-Yin; Hsu, Ying-Shao – Educational Technology & Society, 2010
This project analyzed the effectiveness of a city-wide wireless weather sensor network, the Taipei Weather Science Learning Network (TWIN), in facilitating elementary and junior high students' study of weather science. The network, composed of sixty school-based weather sensor nodes and a centralized weather data archive server, provides students…

Knipp, Peter A. – Physics Teacher, 2009
Students learn about physical laws and the scientific method when they analyze experimental data in a laboratory setting. Three common sources exist for the experimental data that they analyze: (1) "hands-on" measurements by the students themselves, (2) electronic transfer (by downloading a spreadsheet, video, or computer-aided data-acquisition…

Zucker, Andrew A.; King, Karen E. – Science Teacher, 2009
The declining cost of computers and wireless networks has made laptop programs more affordable than ever. At the same time, the internet resources available to teachers and students have grown exponentially in the 15 years since web browsers first became practical. As a result of these trends, growing numbers of students nationwide are provided…

Dobrogowski, W.; Maziewski, A.; Zablotskii, V. – European Journal of Physics, 2007
We describe our experience in building a remote laboratory for teaching magnetic domains. Fulfilling the proposed on-line experiments, students can observe and study magnetization processes that are often difficult to explain with written material. It is proposed that networks of remotely accessible laboratories could be integrated in the Global…

ERIC Review, 1993
The "ERIC Review" is published three times a year and announces research results, publications, and new programs relevant to each issue's theme topic. This issue explores computer networking in elementary and secondary schools via two principal articles: "Plugging into the 'Net'" (Michael B. Eisenberg and Donald P. Ely); and…

Newman, Denis – 1991
Technologies can play a role in restructuring schools, but they can also effectively support existing school structures depending on how they are designed and used. This paper contrasts the organizational impact of two technology systems in terms of the physical location in the school, the curriculum, how time is scheduled, and the opportunities…

Fortner, Rosanne W. – American Biology Teacher, 1992
Presents the philosophical, methodological, and conceptual contributions of earth science to the biology curriculum. Explores how the curriculum can build on these contributions to achieve greater relevance for students as a basis for decision making. Gives examples of computer networks that accomplish that goal.
