“…Virtual laboratories are an important addition to the traditional engineering curriculum due to their relevance for the industrial practice, positive learning effects, and time and cost effectiveness (Coble et al, 2010, Martin-Villalba, 2008, Rasteiro, 2009. A review of the learning effects of computer simulations by Rutten et al (2012) indicates that together with traditional teaching, the simulation exercises facilitate students' conceptual understanding of the theory, improve the ability to predict the experimental results, increase the interest in the course and improve overall learning outcomes.…”

Abstract:The aim of this article is to encourage university lecturers to utilize commercial process simulation software in engineering courses. This article provides examples on four different simulation modules which are implemented in chemical and electrical engineering courses at Oslo and Akershus University College. The students have given positive evaluation on the learning through the simulation exercises and considered the simulation tool easy to use. Together with the exam results the student feedback indicates enhanced learning outcome.

Multimedia Tools to Learn About Nanoparticles Characterization

Abstract-This work presents the production of multimedia tools for distance learning about nanoparticles characterization. The module is fundamentally based on hypermedia contents and can be included in a course delivered in an eor b-learning format. Hypermedia can include several interactive multimedia contents such as interactive video, hypertext, photos, audio, animations or computer graphics, which can be combined among them. In this work the objective was to develop an interactive video to explain the nanoparticles characterization using dynamic light scattering. This option allows the user to choose the better strategy to learn about the measuring technique, since the video is prepared for interaction and offers the access to complementary information using different hypermedia contents. These aspects are particularly important for lifelong learning courses, dedicated to users already in the job market, for whom the access to real laboratories can be more difficult and restricted.

This work deals with the production of multimedia tools for distance learning. The course will be essentially based on hypermedia contents and can be delivered either in the e-learning or b-learning format. The option was to use interactive videos and, in this demonstration, a video used for the teaching of nanoparticles characterization using dynamic light scattering will be presented. This choice allows the student to choose his own strategy to learn about the measuring technique, since the video is prepared for interaction with the user. This feature is particularly important for lifelong learning courses dedicated to users already in the job market, for whom access to real laboratories can be more difficult and limited.
