The PELARS project finds ways of generating \"analytics\" (data about the learning process and analysis of this data), which helps learners and teachers by providing feedback from hands-on, project-based and experiential learning situations. In this paper, we present our proposal for improving analytics education with hands-on, project-based and experimental scenarios for engineering students. This is done through teacher and learner engagement, user studies and evaluated trials, performed at UCV (University of Craiova, Romania) and DTU Diplom (Technical University of Denmark, Campus Ballerup, Denmark). The PELARS project provides technological tools and ICT-based methods for collecting activity data (moving image-based and embedded sensing) for learning analytics (data-mining and reasoning) of practice-based and experiential STEM.","PeriodicalId":370977,"journal":{"name":"2017 27th EAEEIE Annual Conference (EAEEIE)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128607532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present paper introduces an innovative platform designed to be used in industrial automation practical work. The platform includes the different technologies used in functional safety: safe relays, safe programmable logic controllers that can be programmed with the specific software of each manufacturer, various safe sensors, and actuators. For building a safety application system with a safety PLC or a safety relay and eventually an associated safety network, users shall consider to not only a safety programming but also technology, configuration, installation, operation, and maintenance. So the platform allows to students to acquire the theoretical knowledge and experimental technical skills in industrial safety and to realize the choice, design and the setting of the appropriate structure of the control system for the required availability and safety. The proposed laboratory experimental pieces of training are focusing on functional safety in factory automation with the last technologies used in the industry. The various experimental stations of the platform are described. This innovative platform developed will be employed by Bachelor and Master students. Students are part-time workers for one or two years in the industrial engineering domain at the Electrical Engineering department of University Claude Bernard of Lyon, France.","PeriodicalId":370977,"journal":{"name":"2017 27th EAEEIE Annual Conference (EAEEIE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129810906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Massive open online courses (MOOC) and online teaching are offered by a growing number of universities all over the world. These courses are free to attend and everyone worldwide – presupposed the technical needs are fulfilled – can watch these lectures online. These courses are mainly meant to inform and train people in a certain topic in the field of arts, these courses may not work for technical topics, surely not for beginners. In order to achieve success and to learn from mistakes, beginners need a certain level of have to be trained and their success has to be monitored by a trainer. MOOCs may not be the most suitable way for universities to teach their students using distance learning. Online courses, using a web platform where students can watch videos of lectures, fulfill tasks and submit work to be graded online are very common and some of the problems existing using MOOCs can be solved. What´s left is the direct, immediate communication with trainers or lecturers which can be provided during an on-site lecture in the laboratory.By doing the online lectures synchronous, meaning both, the students and the lecturer, are online at the same time using an online conference tools, the students can interact with the lecturer immediate when a problem occurs. These tools have been used by some universities for a couple of years and have proven successful. A new challenge evolves, when it comes to team-teaching, especially if the lecturers are not at the same location. This paper shows some ways of teaching online which have proven successful and efficient and how the special task of synchronous online team teaching can be solved.","PeriodicalId":370977,"journal":{"name":"2017 27th EAEEIE Annual Conference (EAEEIE)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124823811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Development of educational games using 3D models of historical locations, objects and artefacts","authors":"Georgi V. Hristov, Jordan Raychev, Diyana Kyuchukova, P. Zahariev","doi":"10.1109/EAEEIE.2017.8768721","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/EAEEIE.2017.8768721","url":null,"abstract":"the latest trends in the development of the information and communication technologies and their worldwide penetration have provided a whole range of solutions for presentation of the learning materials to the students at all levels of the educational systems. In the last years, the educational institutions are trying to keep up with the pace of the leading ICT companies and are constantly introducing all newly developed devices, systems and technologies in their teaching processes. Despite these measures for constant improvement, many students are still more interested in the entrainment possibilities and not in the educational enhancements, which are provided by the modern technologies. This has presented the need to combine the entertainment and the education, so that both processes can be blended into one. There are many examples of such solutions – from the integration of educational content in different TV and radio entertainment programs or series to the development of toys, board and card games, which have primary or secondary educational value.In the last years, the 3D technologies have made huge progress and are now considered as the most perspective among the emerging solutions that would have impact on the educational process – both for the teachers and the learners. For this reason, in this paper we present a methodology for development of educational games in 3D environments, which are based on real locations, objects and artefacts. The presented methodology follows every step of the development process – from the digitalization of the locations and the objects, through the processing of the obtained data and finally the actual development of the 3D games using the modern gaming engines. The paper provides also some advices on how to obtain high-quality 3D models of real objects and locations, based on their size and type and using different digitalization methods. An actual example about the use of the 3D technologies for the development of an educational virtual reality game for popularisation of the ancient Roman cultural and historical heritage, which was developed following an international project, is also presented in the last part of the paper.","PeriodicalId":370977,"journal":{"name":"2017 27th EAEEIE Annual Conference (EAEEIE)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131529741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
