Abstract-This paper informs about the latest development of the blended learning course Robust Constrained PID Control and describes in details problems faced in evaluating independent work of students with real time experiments that represent the main element of the applied "learning by doing" and "learning by experimenting" approach. Basic features of the developed system that evaluates consistency of student's results with the measured experimental data and possibilities of further system expansion to automation of offering to student constructive feedback are discussed. Simultaneously, by comparing all data of the Matlab workspace the developed system serves although as an excellent anti-plagiarism tool.Index Terms-anti-plagiarism, real experiments, automated assignment marking, Matlab/Simulink, robust control I. INTRODUCTION For more than two decades, at MSc level, the "Constrained PID Control" course has been developed and piloted [1]. Its aim was to integrate, explain, verify, compare and evaluate different traditional and new PID control structures based on linear models with dominant dynamics up to the 2nd order with possible long dead time. This all was taking into account also constraints given on the manipulated variable, or the state variables. Despite apparent simplicity of the PID control, from the beginning we were faced with the well known problem (see e.g. [2]) that already in linear context it is not easy to find good controller settings, especially from the point of view of robust control. The education is difficult especially when dealing with time delay systems, where different interactive tools [3,4] are used to compensate shortage of reliable and easy to use control theory. In order to enable to students to cope with the peculiar problem of reliable robust controller tuning, a group of teachers from STU (Slovak University of Technology) have brought into the education a high number of low-cost plant models including own microprocessor for the data processing and communication. These are able to be connected to standard computers via the USB port. This solution does not require purchasing special converter cards and simplifies the overall control communication that enables to carry out real time control tasks in any standard computer room, or even by own computers at home.From the huge amount of experiments carried out by our students it was obvious that in order to guarantee required control quality over total operating range of the inherently nonlinear and time variable plants the traditional nominal controller tuning should be replaced by
