Collaborative Research: An Online Laboratory for Optical Circuits Courses

工程-工程技术(58)这个CCLI第一阶段探索性项目正在扩展远程学习技术的使用，以提供涵盖光学电路的一整套实验室。这些实验室适用于各种工程和技术学科的众多研究生、高级本科生和低级本科生。试点班是一门高级工程技术课程，招收约50名学生。将使用结果评估和持续改进来测试远程学习环境下光学电路教学的有效性。虽然这些实验室是在一所大学生产和测试的，但有三所大学参与了评估过程。该项目有助于我们了解一般实验室，特别是光学电路实验室使用远程学习技术的情况。该项目正在为科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)领域的远程教育实验室教育研究领域提供关于学习方式和最佳实践的有用数据。

Engineering - Engineering Technology (58)This CCLI Phase 1, Exploratory Project is extending the use of distance learning techniques to provide a complete set of laboratories covering optical circuits. These laboratories are suitable for numerous graduate, upper division undergraduate, and lower division undergraduate courses in a wide variety of engineering and technology disciplines. The pilot class is an upper division engineering technology course enrolling approximately 50 students. Outcome assessment and continuous improvement will be used to test the effectiveness of teaching optical circuits in a distance-learning environment. Although the laboratories are being produced and tested at a single university, three universities are involved in the evaluation process. This project is contributing to what we know about the use of distance learning techniques for laboratories in general and optical circuits laboratories in particular. This project is yielding useful data on the learning styles and best practices in distance learning laboratory educational research area for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematical (STEM) fields.
