Live demo of two experiments using a remote lab for forming technology

In engineering courses, it is more and more important to combine theory with practice. Therefore, at the Institute of Forming Technology and Lightweight Construction of TU Dortmund University a tele-operative testing cell for material characterization was developed. This remote lab was successfully integrated to different scenarios. On the one hand, the remote lab was integrated to forming technology lectures. Thereby the lecturer configures the experiment in interaction with the students in the lecture hall. After the experiment is finished the results can be discussed face to face. On the other hand, the tele-operative testing cell becomes a part of different online learning scenarios like online courses. With this remote lab lectures and students are able to do experiments of forming technology via internet. In the following the design of the remote lab and two experiments for a live demo are described.
