Item Distance Laboratory Applications ERRL: A Study on Radio Communication in Electronic Field(Optimization of Electrical and Electronic Equipment, 2008-08-04) AYDIN, Cansu Çiğdem; ÖZYURT, Erdem; AYDIN, Elif; ÇAĞILTAY, Nergiz; ÖZBEK, Efe; ALPARSLAN, CerenIn the last decade, the effect of internet usage in education is gradually increased. When we look from academic perspective, the new technologies provided alternatives for students learning. As distance education becomes important everyday, the indispensable elements of teaching and education, laboratories must be reachable via remote connection. Consequently, the education that is going to be given to the students will be more flexible with respect to place and time constraints and students can reach laboratory facilities at any time and anywhere not only in lectures and practical hours. In this study, European Remote Radio Laboratory (ERRL) which is a distance remote Radio Frequency (RF) laboratory designed for electrical-electronics students, is described generally. The software architecture, infrastructure and experiment that can be done with a remote connection have been described.Item Distance Laboratory Applications ERRL: A Study on Radio Communication in Electronic Field(IEEE, 2008-05-24) AYDIN, Cansu Çiğdem; ÖZYURT, E.; AYDIN, Elif; ÇAĞILTAY, Nergiz; ÖZBEK, Mehmet Efe; ALPARSLAN, Ceren; KARA, AliIn the last decade, the effect of internet usage in education is gradually increased.

PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS(The 18th Annual IEEE International Symposium on Personal,Indoor and Mobile Radio Communication (PIMRC’07), 2007-08-04) AYDIN, Cansu Çiğdem; ÇAĞILTAY, NergizMost of the education programs need an assessment system for formative and summative evaluation purposes. Similarly, in the ERRL* project which is a distance remote radio frequency laboratory application, assessment system is required. However, developing an assessment system cost is very high and requires some extra time for testing and development purposes. Open source systems provide these services in a standard way. Since the source is open, it is possible to make some modifications to better adapt these systems to the requirements of developed systems. Similarly, in the Moodle part of the system we need to integrate the test and the experiment platforms. In order to better guide the learners in the system, they should take some tests about the devices and the theoretical content included in the system. It is important to prevent users who do not have the enough knowledge directed to the experiments platform. These testing requirements should be integrated into the remote laboratory system, so that, the learners should not need to jump between different systems and interfaces. This article presents implementation process of open source Learning Management System software’s assessment module to a remote laboratory application and it also discusses the advantages, disadvantages of using an open source Web based assessment system.Item HOW ASSESSMENT SYSTEM OF AN OPEN SOURCE LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM CAN BE INTEGRATED TO A REMOTE LABORATORY APPLICATION?

Smart toys can be defined as new forms of toys featuring both tangible objects and electronic components that facilitate two-way child–smart toy interactions to carry out pur poseful tasks. In this chapter, smart toy based learning projects are discussed and the char acteristics of smart toys as cognitive tools to facilitate learning are analyzed. This chapter also covers the relationship between smart toys and children’s developmental stages—with a particular focus on motivation—in order to understand smart toys’ potential effects on children.Item User Study of a New Smart Toy for Children’s Storytelling(Interactive Learning Environments, 2012-08-04) KARA, Nuri; AYDIN, Cansu Çiğdem; ÇAĞILTAY, KürşatThis paper introduces the smart storytelling toy (StoryTech) which provides mixed reality environment. StoryTech with a flexible context leads children to tell their imaginative stories. For usability testing of StoryTech, an empirical study was carried out with totally 90 children. The findings indicated that StoryTech created richer experience especially for age groups of five and six in producing stories.Item What Do Remote Laboratory Applications Promise for Engineering Students: A Case Study of ERRL Project(2015-06-02) KARA, Ali; AYDIN, Cansu Çiğdem; KARA, Ayşegül; ÇAĞILTAY, Nergiz; AYDIN, ElifThe development of information technologies has brought new innovations in engineering education. One of these innovations is remote laboratories. As known, in engineering education laboratory activities play a fundamental role. When using a new teaching technology, it is important to be sure that it has required learning outcomes for the students. This study reports a remote radio communication laboratory (ERRL1 ) implementation established at the Atilim University. The aim of this case study is to improve ERRL system by identifying challenges and opportunities pertaining to the system and find out possible solutions to the problems.
