The third case study investigated the use of a complete course package, with all course material and software contained on the same USB drive (LiveUSB Mediated Education, LUME). The second case showed that LMS tools that facilitate traditional methods are used routinely, whereas lecturers often refrain from using features intended to facilitate collaboration and the creation of communities of learners.
The first case demonstrated that computer-enhanced collaborative learning can improve the learning experience and performance of engineering students. A course intended to improve lecturers handling skills and motivation to utilize educational software in a pedagogically sound manner was given in Cuba, Guatemala and Peru. The third case study covers three subsets of participants. The investigation focuses on the lecturers’ reluctance to use educational technology and the slow uptake of new pedagogical methods in engineering education. The case is delimited to lecturers at the School of Engineering at the University of Borås. The second case focused on the barriers to a wider utilization of educational software in engineering education.
To elicit interaction, a learning management system (LMS) was used and the students were strongly encouraged to discuss various aspects of their work. In the first of three case studies engineering students working on their final degree projects participated. A mixed methods approach that combines qualitative case studies with quantitative research methods is used. It uses the epistemology of John Dewey (1859-1952) and the action research methodology first advanced by Kurt Lewin (1890-1947). This thesis contributes to the quality of engineering education and the accessibility of education worldwide by promoting computer-enhanced teaching and learning. It could be very useful tool for the state-of-the-art learning and teaching, training programs, industrial applications, etc. This concept of virtualization is cost effective and could be accessed round-the-clock. The main theme of virtualization of experiments, for the present case, is based on the measured experimental database from actual test rigs. The steps of virtual experiments have been designed in such a sequence that inculcates these features. The term virtualization gives more emphasize on creating or simulating an actual laboratory environment and feel of performing experiments. In the present work, an online experimentation system has been developed in which a number of mechanical vibration experiments have been successfully virtualized. The concept of virtualization of the laboratory and its application by the internet based remote experiments, provides a relevant and meaningful practical learning experience. Moreover, all educational institutions do not have enough resources (financially as well as in terms of expert faculty) to provide all basic and relevant advance laboratories, which hinders the expansion of the engineering and science education. The traditional concept of laboratories in learning institutions has many limitations. The present work addresses the development of virtual mechanical vibration laboratory for educational purpose, and that can be accessed remotely through the internet.
