Development of an Experimental System for Remote Learning

Recently, many teaching techniques have been adopting not only textual information but also videos, simulations, and real-time discussions for online learning. Unlike the theory and simulation learned in classroom lectures, experiments provide realistic data that includes the effects of the environment. Therefore, experimental classrooms are one of the important elements in learning. Accordingly, it is necessary to develop the foundation of a system for conducting experiments remotely so that experiment can be performed even in situations where the experimental equipment is not exsist. In this paper, we develop the foundation of the experimental system for remotely obtain result data for the heat conduction experiment, which is one of the mechanical engineering application experiment theme. In addition, we describe the features of experimental system about experimental process and interface. Finally, we discuss the effectiveness of the proposed experimental system.
