Use of virtual and pocket labs in education (Demo)

Abstract

This demo shows exercises held at CUAS (Carinthia University of Applied Sciences) using a combination of virtual labs (basically electronic circuit simulation) and pocket labs. The use of pocket labs in education enables students to follow their own time schedule and makes it possible to repeat exercises for a better understanding. Two exercises will be shown, both of them using National Instruments' myDAQ: Basic electronic circuit design compares the simulation result of Multisim with a real circuit on a breadboard, and computer science and programming lectures will use a CUAS-designed miniSystem. All exercises using pocket labs are designed to be done at home by students.
