Robotic telepresence is a growing strategy for enabling participants to join with colleagues even when the pilot of the robot cannot be physically present (Bower, 2015). In this paper, we describe our research that studies robotic telepresence in undergraduate engineering education, and specifically in the case when there are physical objects that…

Robotics is conducive to STEM learning. However, teachers are not prepared to integrate robotics into teaching STEM. Additionally, technology in general is used to transmit knowledge to support student learning from technology. To achieve meaningful learning outcomes, students need to use technology as a cognitive tool and learn with technology.…
