“…However, researchers attempted to evaluate the impact of utilizing technology, such as real-time video conferencing to establish a virtual classroom where the teacher and students may visually present themselves (Grassini et al, 2020). These experiments confirmed that the live virtual classroom could overcome the lack of social presence and classroom climate based on some requirements (Elmesalawy et al, 2021). The nature of eLearning media tools used can have a significant impact on social presence.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has compelled practically all higher education institutions to adopt online education tools over the previous 2 years. Online education has a huge potential to supplement or take the place of in-person instruction. However, there are certain drawbacks of online learning, such as the absence of classroom environment interaction and the difficulty in keeping track of students’ engagement and participation. In this study, a live virtual classroom was developed to aid students in their learning activities. The effectiveness of these live video classes was reported from both students and instructors, as well as the variables promoting their implementation within higher education institutions. One of the more significant findings to emerge from this study is that the instructors found it convenient, as they could readily check course participants understanding by studying their live video lectures. The second major finding was that students felt satisfaction with online learning while asking questions without interfering with the instructor’s presentation. Moreover, peers could also provide them with more expertise. However, the teaching process became dynamic, requiring the educator to pay close attention. The course participants also experienced anxiety when they were in front of other people. Additionally, both the instructor and the students need to be highly self-sufficient in technology.

“…The development of an efficient and innovative remote education system is considered one of the crucial requirements for the post-COVID-19 era [11]. Elmesalawy et al [11] present the requirements and architectural design of a laboratory learning platform that can be used in different educational fields for performing experimental activities. An efficient and flexible system design has been proposed based on the needed requirements to support different types of remote-controlled laboratory experiments [11].…”

Thanks to the recent rapid technological advancement in IoT usage, there is a need for students to learn IoT-based concepts using a dedicated experimental platform. Furthermore, being forced into remote learning due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, there is an urgent need for innovative learning methods. From our perspective, a learning platform should be reconfigurable to accommodate multiple applications and remotely accessible at any time, from anywhere, and on any connected device. Considering that many of the university courses are now held online, the reliability and scalability of the system become critical. This paper presents the design and development of a wireless configurable myRIO-based sensor node that connects to SystemLink Cloud. The sensors that were used are for ambient light, temperature, and proximity. A graphical programming environment (G-LabVIEW) and related APIs were used for rapid concept-to-development process. Distinct applications have been developed for the instructor and students, respectively. The students can select which sensor and application to run on the system and observe the measurements on the local student’s application or the cloud platform at a specific moment. They can also read the data on the cloud platform and use them in their LabVIEW application. In the context of remote education, we strongly believe that this platform is and will be suitable for the COVID and Post-COVID eras as well because it creates a much better remote laboratory experience for students. In conclusion, the system that was developed is innovative because it is software reconfigurable from the device, from the instructor’s application and cloud via a web browser, it is intuitive, and it has a user-friendly interface. It meets most of the necessary requirements in the current era, being also highly available and scalable in the cloud.

Although the majority of persons who get COVID-19 recover completely, current evidence suggests that 10% to 20% of those who recover experience a variety of mid- and long-term symptoms after their initial sickness. In the system Medbot: Artificial Intelligence based Interactive Chatbot for assisting with Telephonic Health Checkup Service after COVID-19, we use the NLP technique. Patients who use this system after finishing the Covid-19 must log in whenever they have symptoms. Patients use this system to get therapy at home, and if their symptoms are too severe, the system will refer them to a doctor. Patients can book appointments with doctors following Covid-19 if the chatbot gives a list of doctors. In this system, we use the FL approach to get accurate results. We guarantee 98.47 % while utilizing our technology.
