“…Schaf et al (2009) also recognise the close relationship between collaboration and cooperation and point out some differences between them using the work by Carstensen and Schmidt (2002): cooperation implies dividing each task into independent subtasks, while collaboration forces handling interlinked problems and subtasks. Therefore, for cooperative work, to assemble the partial results into a final product, coordination is required.…”

Abstract:Since 2007/2008 project-based learning models have been used to deliver two fundamental courses on Geotechnics in University of Aveiro, Portugal. These models have evolved and have encompassed either cooperative or collaborative teamwork.Using data collected in five editions of each course (Soil Mechanics I and Soil Mechanics II), the different characteristics of the models using cooperative or collaborative teamwork are pointed out and analysed, namely in terms of the students' perceptions. The data collected includes informal feedback from students, monitoring of their marks and academic performance, and answers to two sets of questionnaires: developed for these courses, and institutional. The data indicate students have good opinion of the project-based learning model, though collaborative teamwork is the best rated. The overall efficacy of the models was analysed (sum of their effectiveness, efficiency and attractiveness). The collaborative model was found more adequate.

“…They can also reduce the time required for interactions needed for negotiations during collaboration, including set-up, calibration, and trial run interactions, and eliminate or reduce repeat interaction that are due to errors and conflicts caused by inaccuracies. In addition, laser can improve remote collaboration and education related to control and automation engineering education in environments and workspaces as described by Schaf, Muller, Bruns, Pereira, and Erbe (2009).…”

“…For example, Schaf et al [73] proposed a collaborative RL where the OPC is included to connect real or simulated devices such as PLCs. For the chemical engineering field, Klein and Wozny [74] developed a RL integrating Java and OPC communication.…”

In this paper the design and implementation of a network for integrating Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), the Object-Linking and Embedding for Process Control protocol (OPC) and the open-source Easy Java Simulations (EJS) package is presented. A LabVIEW interface and the Java-Internet-LabVIEW (JIL) server complete the scheme for data exchange. This configuration allows the user to remotely interact with the PLC. Such integration can be considered a novelty in scientific literature for remote control and sensor data acquisition of industrial plants. An experimental application devoted to remote laboratories is developed to demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of the proposed approach. The experiment to be conducted is the parameterization and supervision of a fuzzy controller of a DC servomotor. The graphical user interface has been developed with EJS and the fuzzy control is carried out by our own PLC. In fact, the distinctive features of the proposed novel network application are the integration of the OPC protocol to share information with the PLC and the application under control. The user can perform the tuning of the controller parameters online and observe in real time the effect on the servomotor behavior. The target group is engineering remote users, specifically in control- and automation-related tasks. The proposed architecture system is described and experimental results are presented.
