This study targeted building up the basis of research for telecontrol between the National Colleges of Technology (NCTs) and Toyohashi University of Technology (TUT) using the Internet, and considered experience-based education using telecontrol. We constructed telecontrol environments for four NCTs and TUT, and a total of over 140 students worked in this environment as operators of telecontrol. We investigate the quality of communication environments, studied the amount of operator work, and had operators fill out questionnaires to evaluate the telecontrol environment and the contents of experience-based education using telecontrol. We confirmed by comparing the communication environment with the amount and accuracy of operator work for verification that the built-up control environment enabled telecontrol experiments to be done safely on the Science Information Network (SINET). Over 80% of the operators surveyed evaluated experiment “interest” and “utility” positively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
