The aim of this pilot project is to develop, test and evaluate concepts for the deployment of remote action in distributed learning environments. In this context the possibility of sharing facilities in laboratories, teaching rooms and workshops of vocational schools at different locations by means of remote action systems will be investigated. |
 | The central idea of the project is to offer the possibility of calling locally distributed learning systems via data networks and to integrate them into a virtual and real distributed learning environment. New approaches in telematic research linked to the possibilities offered by tele-observation, remote control, remote installation and remote maintenance of real systems and machines will be taken into consideration. In this way students will be in a position to carry out practical exercises, experiments and learning tasks at machines and systems which are not available "on-the-spot". |
| These tele-medial learning systems are to be supplemented by corresponding local systems using virtual reality and simulation techniques. The concept is to be exemplified by learning tasks in the field of tele-service in mechatronics. |
The following results of the pilot project are considered to be the most important:
- Support of co-operation between regionally and nationally distributed learning sites.
- Improvement of teaching and learning offers by common utilisation of distributed and scarce resources.
- Enrichment of lessons by new telemedial learning subjects and methods.
- The experimentation with new forms of telemedia based learning within the vocational domain of tele-service is obvious, because it will improve the learning process itself and support the teleservice curriculum.
For these reasons the project may have considerable impacts on vocational training in mechatronics.
