Collaborative Research: An Online Laboratory for Optical Circuits Courses.

工程-工程技术（58）这CCLI第一阶段，探索性项目正在扩大使用远程学习技术，以提供一套完整的实验室，涵盖光学电路。这些实验室适用于各种工程和技术学科的众多研究生、高年级本科生和低年级本科生课程。试点班是一个高年级的工程技术课程，招收约50名学生。 结果评估和持续改进将被用来测试在远程学习环境中的光路教学的有效性。 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远程学习技术在一般实验室和光学电路实验室中的应用。 该项目正在产生关于科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）领域远程学习实验室教育研究领域的学习风格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.
