Remote Laboratories and Distance Learning for Technician Training

该项目团队正在为光子学技术人员开发一套远程学习课程。正在开发远程控制的实验室练习、多媒体互动实验室手册和教学软件，并将其用于培训国际和平研究所和该区域其他机构的技术人员。这些材料与以前项目开发的材料一起，构成了一套完整的光子学课程，并为远程学生提供了实验室。为了鼓励在全国范围内共享设施，该组织正在开发一个远程控制实验室的数据库，并将其托管在他们的网站上。他们计划将这个网站链接到SPIE等国家组织的网站上。评估计划包括征求学生对教科书和实验室材料的反馈意见，监测学生的表现，以及从雇员参加课程的雇主那里获得反馈。国家讲习班被用来传播材料，并帮助其他地方的小组开展类似方案的开发。

The project team is developing a package of distance learning courses for technicians in photonics. Remote-controlled laboratory exercises, multimedia interactive laboratory manuals and courseware, are being developed and used to train technicians at the PI's institution and at other institutions in the region. These materials, in conjunction with materials developed on a previous project, constitute a complete package of photonics courses with laboratories for remote students. In order to encourage the sharing of facilities nationwide, the group is developing a database of remote-controlled laboratories, which is being hosted on their website. They plan to link this site to those of national organizations, such as SPIE. Evaluation plans include soliciting feedback from students on the textbooks and laboratory materials, monitoring student performance, and obtaining feedback from the employers whose employees are taking the courses. National workshops are being used to disseminate the materials and to help teams at other locations undertake the development of similar programs.
