Abstract
In this work, we present IoT, a freeware application for Android mobile devices that belongs to the remote laboratory platform called IoT.PhysicsSensor Mobile Edition. It incorporates the potentialities of the IoT to acquire, store, visualize, and analyze data using smartphones. This application, integrated into low-cost hardware, can be used to conduct online and real-time laboratory practices. Additionally, hundreds of users can be connected to the lab without limiting their participation due to the physical location or equipment available in the facilities. To test the capabilities of the architecture proposed in this work, a practice to measure the value for the acceleration of gravity from a free-fall experience was designed. A group of 101 students from the Universidad Nacional de Colombia-Sede Medellin and another of 63 students from Universidad Nacional de Colombia-Sede de La Paz, Cesar, participated in the practice, thus obtaining results with a high degree of accuracy and precision and excellent reproducibility. This platform is emerging as a critical tool to face the digital transformation of educational environments, including those generated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
期刊介绍:
Computer Applications in Engineering Education provides a forum for publishing peer-reviewed timely information on the innovative uses of computers, Internet, and software tools in engineering education. Besides new courses and software tools, the CAE journal covers areas that support the integration of technology-based modules in the engineering curriculum and promotes discussion of the assessment and dissemination issues associated with these new implementation methods.
