“…With the development of informatization in modern society, higher education has gradually entered the age of online, big data and intelligence, especially in epidemic situation of COVID-19 [15][16][17][18], including the informatization of talent training, experimental teaching and laboratory management [19][20][21]. The informatization of laboratory management also contributes to promote laboratory safety, promote the modernization of experimental teaching and promote the education system reform of talent cultivation.…”

Laboratory is the most important components in university. Its modernization and informatization are the important construction contents for standardization. With the acceleration of teaching reform in universities, a consensus has been reached on laboratory opening and resource sharing. Therefore, an information-based process management tool suitable for both undergraduate experiment teaching and graduate research experiment is urgently needed. A laboratory information management system (LIMS) is proposed base on advanced information technology for food practice course education, which include laboratory safety management, laboratory resources management and experimental execution management. Laboratory safety management includes laboratory safety learning and safety knowledge Test module; laboratory resources management includes instrument management, chemical reagents management and material management module, it has good storage address function; experimental execution management includes laboratory use sign-in sign-out, chemical reagents use sign-in sign-out and instrument use signin sign-out based on two-dimensional code(TDC) technology. This system can provide better services for teaching and scientific research, effectively improve the experimental safe and experiment efficiency, regulate the use of instruments and reagents, and further standardize the management of the laboratory. The system can be extended to the related chemical practice course education.

“…Several authors have suggested that a successful strategy for developing practical learning activities is the creation of web-based simulators and virtual laboratories. Some examples include a virtual electrical machine laboratory for electrical engineering courses [43], a remote laboratory applied to control engineering learning [44], or a laboratory framework for a Networked Control System design to provide plug-in free online experiments [45].…”

One of the main problems of the sudden digital transition to online education due to the COVID-19 pandemic is the increased isolation of students. On the other hand, one of the main goals of higher education is to develop students’ cooperative competence. This experimental study presents an online learning environment, consisting of a set of web-based resources such as virtual laboratories, interactive activities, educational videos and a game-based learning methodology. The study also examines the influence of the combination of such resources with active and collaborative learning on the improvement of students’ relationships and the development of cooperative competence. To this end, an analysis was conducted based on the data collected from a core subject of the Computer Engineering and Computer Science Engineering degree courses. The answers of an online survey (n = 289) were examined by using the structural equation modeling technique (SEM). The results suggest that the proposed learning environment has a significant and positive impact on the two dimensions of relational coordination; communication and relationships, and plays a key role in the acquisition and development of cooperative competence. Findings also indicate that effective, accurate, frequent and timely communication, positively influences on students’ relationships. Additionally, this study addresses other important issues with significant theoretical and practical implications for higher education.

“…For example, VNLab (Prieto-Blazquez et al, 2008), MIT iLab (Harward et al, 2008), eComLab (Melkonyan et al, 2014), and WebLab (Gustafsson et al, 2015;Rodriguez-Gil et al, 2014), all of them have been validated in practice. Especially, the online 3-D interactive experimental system proposed by Lei et al (2018Lei et al ( , 2020 has high engineering practical significance. However, since the virtual laboratory consists of virtual laboratory platform, virtual equipment library and open laboratory management system, its experimental data are obtained according to the parameters of the simulation model, rather than the real system environment.…”

“…In the meantime, AC motor (Yazidi et al, 2011), DC servo motor (Sziebig et al, 2013), inverted pendulum (Sanchez et al, 2004), robot (Abdallah et al, 2016) and other systems have been applied in the field of control laboratory successfully. Through the use of JAVA (Farias et al, 2010), AJAX (Garcia-Zubia et al, 2009), MATLAB (Bista´k, 2019) and other technologies, laboratories such as improved web-based NCSLab (Lei et al, 2018(Lei et al, , 2020 and Telelab (Casini et al, 2004) have been able to meet users' needs for personalized operations such as control algorithm design.…”

The Android-based networked control system laboratory (NCSLab) is a remote control laboratory that adopts an extensible architecture, mainly including Android mobile devices, MATLAB servers, controllers and test rigs. In order to conduct various simulations and experiments more effectively in NCSLab, the first key issue that needs to be solved is to enable users to design their own control algorithms or functional blocks on the Android client, rather than just using the basic block libraries provided by the system. So, this paper proposes and implements a scheme for Android-based compilation of C-MEX S-functions. With this new feature, users can design personalized algorithm according to their requirements in the form of S-functions, which can be called and executed after being compiled by MATLAB server. Finally, through the experiment validation of the three-degree-of-freedom air bearing spacecraft platform, it is proved that the method of Android-based C-MEX S-functions is reliable and efficient, and this scheme well enhances the functionality and mobility of Android-based NCSLab.
