Abstract
Nowadays, the emerging trend of utilizing the internet technology to improve teaching methods has caught the attention of many researchers. The education sector is the particular sector which has been getting the influence to implement more advanced teaching methods, and this can be seen through the application of the monitoring system, remote control, and even data acquisition through the Internet. Therefore, this study demonstrates the development of the interactive system via the Internet for the remote access to the equipment known as LD-Didactic temperature system which is used in the laboratory. This particular system is developed using an Arduino-Espresso8266 and LabVIEW platform which is integrated with Blynk software in order to remotely control the Proportional, Integral, and Derivative (PID) setting. Furthermore, the proposed framework is specifically focused on the PID temperature control system, which allows students to learn and simulate the concept of the control scheme by adjusting suitable parameter gains. Moreover, the system evaluation demonstrates the functionality and ability of direct controlling, monitoring, and tracking in order to achieve the targeted temperature control. These three strategies ensure the reproducibility of the experiment for the implementation in different systems. Last but not least, the designed system illustrates that full integration of the system with the internet platform provides students with the underlying knowledge of fundamentals, graphic visualization, and simulation practices. These will subsequently facilitate the learning process of the students.
Highlights
Nowadays, there has been an extensive use of the Internet technology for spreading information or acquiring knowledge
The requirements of utilizing the tools for simulations or laboratory activities have been frequently fulfilled by the conventional education system, catering a substantial number of students would result in the constraint of time, equipment, and laboratory workspace
It was found that the application of Internet of Things (IoT) in the conventional laboratory provides advantages for students, where they can effectively get themselves engaged in their laboratory activities without being obliged to attend to those activities
Summary
There has been an extensive use of the Internet technology for spreading information or acquiring knowledge. With the rapid development of IoT’s application, especially in the remote control system [1], the concept of this application can be applied This development has led to the invention of internet-based applications which are for teaching purposes. An experiment, which was conducted through the simulation activity, illustrated the case study of the physical equipment This experiment has offered a solution for issues regarding the control of the virtual simulation while remotely placing the result away from the physical equipment [2, 4]. The schedules for the activities can be appropriately set up and arranged outside class hours This subsequently encourages independent learning among the students. Another advantage which can be obtained from an internet-based system is the unlimited number of students who are able to access the laboratory equipment remotely
