Research of E-Learning Platform of Blend Learning for Power Electronics Courses

Abstract

Abstract-The undergraduate power electronics course belongs to basic courses in electrical engineering. It is especially crucial for the students studying continuing subjects like control of electrical drives. Thus, a good knowledge of the various topology and control methods is needed to understand the behavior of power converter. For exploration of this knowledge-building process, a blended elearning program was developed and implemented at a college level course. An internet-based learning platform for power electronics courses was implemented. The internet accessible distant simulation system permits the instructors and students to remotely conduct simulations over the Internet. The integrated interactive multimedia material can assist the educational environment of power electronics courses. The learning outputs, such as cognitive achievement or satisfaction levels showed better comprehensive understanding of the knowledge-building process in power electronics.
