“…These instantiations depended on remote controlled lab apparatus, collaborative tools and an accessible user interface sub-system. Certain aspects of the work are reported in Colwell et al (2002), Scanlon et al (2004) and Cooper (2007).…”

Abstract:The role of an educational technologist is difficult to define. This paper reflects on the experience of working on a range of technology enhanced learning in science projects to review a number of working principles which have proved effective in the practice of educational technology. It discusses how these principles relate to the theories in use in educational technology. Three case studies are considered illustrating methods of participatory design, design based research and socio-cultural approaches. All the case studies are taken from the application of educational technology principles to the design of examples of science instruction. The paper offers an interpretation of the contemporary practice of educational technology

“…For example, posting low-cost equipment to the student [1], providing simulation environments, including immersive virtual reality environments [2], or providing a remote connection to equipment [3]. The increasing use of touchscreen and mobile-phone based interfaces to equipment indicates the growing trend for computers to mediate human interactions with equipment, and laboratory work is no different [4].…”

“…Home experiment kits were sent to students. In the early 2000s, the institution explored remote laboratory work as part of the "part-time education for adults returning to learn" (PEARL) project [3,12], along with Trinity College Dublin and the University of Porto. Equipment included a spectrophotometer, and students could even upload scripts to run the hardware.…”

Abstract-By creating "an Internet of Laboratory Things" we have built a blend of real and virtual laboratory spaces that enables students to gain practical skills necessary for their professional science and engineering careers. All our students are distance learners. This provides them by default with the proving ground needed to develop their skills in remotely operating equipment, and collaborating with peers despite not being colocated. Our laboratories accommodate state of the art research grade equipment, as well as large-class sets of off-the-shelf work stations and bespoke teaching apparatus. Distance to the student is no object and the facilities are open all hours. This approach is essential for STEM qualifications requiring development of practical skills, with higher efficiency and greater accessibility than achievable in a solely residential programme.

“…Disadvantages result from high needs regarding space, instructor time, and experimental infrastructure; all leading to rising costs [19]. Due to the limitation of resources, hands-on labs are also incapable of meeting special needs regarding disabled students [20] or distant users [21].…”

Information technologies and society are highly interwoven nowadays, but in both, the private and business sector, users are often not aware of security issues or lack proper security skills. The branch of information technology security is growing constantly but attacks against the vocational sector as well as the personal sector still cause great losses each day. Considering that the end-user is the weakest link of the security chain we aim to raise awareness, regarding IT security, and train and educate IT security skills by establishing a European-wide initiative and framework.
