IMELS: An e‐learning platform for industrial engineering

Abstract

An Interactive Multimedia E-Learning System (IMELS) is developed to provide a comprehensive problem-based learning environment for the discipline of industrial engineering. This article gives an overview of the design of this interactive multimedia elearning system that facilitates the interactive, web-based teaching and learning of industrial engineering via a problem-based learning paradigm. To demonstrate the functionality of the system, one of the case problems that is incorporated in the system-the performance of system analysis of a production operation of a ''virtual company'' is presented. Through this example, the article highlights the characteristics of the system provides and discusses the significance of the features delivered by the IMELS.ß

Personal Learning Environment Box (PLEBOX): A new approach to E‐learning platforms

“…In Engineering Education, there are many E-Learning Tools. For example, an Interactive Multimedia E-Learning System (IMELS) was developed to provide a comprehensive problem-based learning environment for the discipline of industrial engineering [23]. PerfPred is a Web-based tool for predicting the performance of computer systems [24].…”

Öğrencilere Montaj Hattı Dengeleme Tekniklerini Öğretmek için Bir Problem Çözme Ortamı

“…Some of these programs are also web-based software (Robinson and Carmical, 2005). These educational programs have been used effectively for teaching activities in many engineering field such as mining engineering (Akkoyun, 2011;Akkoyun, 2017), computer science engineering (Barua, 2001;Ochoa et al, 2003;Berenguel et al, 2016), control engineering (Rampazzo et al, 2017;Mendez et al, 2006;Aliane, 2010), chemical engineering (Schmid and Ali, 2000;Johnson and Singh, 2019;Binous and Shaikh, 2015), fluid mechanics (Pieritz et al, 2004), electrical and electronics engineering (Zavalani, 2015;Cobos and Roger, 2019), metallurgy (Ong and Mannan, 2002), optimization (MacDonald, 1995;Lazaridis et al, 2007) and industrial engineering (Lau et al, 2006;Baykasoğlu et al, 2017).…”

Development of a visual courseware for surface mining education

“…Some of these systems are designed for general educational purposes that provide online forums and libraries, virtual classrooms and peer networks [8,9]. Some of them are designed for several engineering disciplines and different sciences and subjects such as: chemical engineering [10], industrial engineering [11], control engineering [12,13], computer science engineering [14,15], programming [16], mathematical programming [17], pneumatics [18], fluid mechanics [19], metallurgy and metal working [20], electromagnetic [21], process engineering [22], electrical engineering and electronics [23]. In many cases where elearning and Web-based teachings are adopted, positive feedback from both teachers and students has been obtained [24].…”
