What were the initial conditions?

o Solid-state physics department of TUB provided

Physics course for undergraduate engineering

students.

o 500 students in undergraduate physics course (lack

of practical course for these students).

o Separate courses on experimental and theoretical

approach.

o Frontal teaching instead of self managed learning

and no authentic learning environment.

What are the remote experiments?

o "real" experiment

in real

laboratories, cont

rolled remotely

through

"LabView„

software.

o controlled and

performed

remotely through

a web-interface.

o Remote Farm

General goals

o Learning of the fundamental physical phenomena by

theory, experiment and simulation (without time shift).

o Learn to deal with remote-controlled experiments and

with practice-related problems during the experiment.

o Learn to deal with text-editing, data processing programs

and learn the standards of scientific reporting.

o Improving the skills related to the IT communications and

online competence.

o Integration of these abilities in the team work.

o Encouraging self managed learning in an authentic

learning environment.

Some technical details

o Our experiments controlled with LabView from NI

o An Additional microprossesor-board to prevent the set up from being damaged.

o Collection of data by microcontroller board takes

place via RS232 to the server.

o Live stream: AXIS 241Q video server.

OnPReX and LiLa

o An integrated platform for remote exp., virtual Labs

and learning resources.

o A framework for online collaboration between users

and instructors.

o An educational support system.
