Abstract
This paper identifies and discusses current trends and challenges, offers an overview of state-of-the-art technologies in the development of remote and smart laboratories, and introduces the iLearning interaction model. The use of the model allows reconstructing already- existing iLearning environments. The smart lab model is described for face-to-face, Mobile and Blended Learning. As a result, this allows offering new information technology that organizes the educational process according to learning type (face-to-face, hands-on learning, Life Long Learning, E-Learning, M-Learning, Blended learning, Game-based learning, etc.). The remote access Architecture and Interface for the multifunctional Smart Lab will be developed.
Highlights
During the last few decades, remote and smart laboratories have been introduced into engineering education processes and integrated within e-learning frameworks offered to engineering and science students
The proposed learning concept allows providing all kinds of learning, including traditional face-to-face and Distance learning and offers possibilities for further development of Mobile learning, which is rapidly spreading in all fields of education
Smart tools such as Smart Labs are very useful to support the process of understanding and learning by doing
Summary
During the last few decades, remote and smart laboratories have been introduced into engineering education processes and integrated within e-learning frameworks offered to engineering and science students. There is currently an insufficient number of adapted standards for remote or smart labs and virtual experimentation This trend shows that both traditional and virtual (Web 2.0) solutions will continue to exist during the coming years, revealing the benefits of face-to face but all kinds of Internet-based Learning (iLearning) known as E-learning. The state of the art has demonstrated many new learning trends with the application of complex technical systems: training in a virtual factory (Second Life - eMotions Factory); learning in a coupled virtual environment (Hyper-Bond-Concept), and communication of virtual realities by means of video, remote labs, and smart labs These trends affect the continuing education program.
