“…This is true for disciplines such as business and healthcare education. While online education has its benefits, it is usually not the preferred method of teaching and learning from instructors' and students' standpoint (Vivolo, 2016;Grodotzki et al, 2021). Creating engaging online learning experience for students requires learning new skills, and a huge time investment and effort from the instructors (Asgari et al, 2020;Grodotzki et al, 2021).…”

“…While online education has its benefits, it is usually not the preferred method of teaching and learning from instructors' and students' standpoint (Vivolo, 2016;Grodotzki et al, 2021). Creating engaging online learning experience for students requires learning new skills, and a huge time investment and effort from the instructors (Asgari et al, 2020;Grodotzki et al, 2021). This could be extremely difficult for majors/programmes where in-person meetings are required to complete lab experiences and/or required experiential learning components as part of the curriculum.…”

“…From the student's viewpoint, one may find it hard to learn complex concepts in a virtual or remote environment. There is also a popular belief that virtual learning does not lead to a deeper level of learning (Holzweiss et al, 2014;Grodotzki et al, 2021).…”

In early 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global emergency. This pandemic has affected higher education, especially the world of business education and professional programmes, beyond imagination. This study/project examines an innovative teaching and learning approach, Lean methodology, and its application to business education. Although Lean Thinking originated in the automobile industry several years ago, research on its application and sustainability at academic institutions, especially in the teaching and learning process, has been extremely limited. Recent research demonstrates that this approach has been successfully implemented in healthcare and health sciences education. This project takes a step forward and identifies how a similar approach can be applied to business education in post-pandemic education. The project concludes with practical tips that higher education institutions can use as planning for post-pandemic begins.

“…The proportion of theoretical and practical knowledge in training varies from field to field, but practical and design-oriented education plays a role in developing analytical thinking skills [7]. Today, a number of up-to-date tools and methodologies are available to help students develop practical skills, such as taking advantage of active learning opportunities [8], the practical and team-oriented nature of project-based learning [9], the use of inverted classrooms [10], etc., which help in improving the effectiveness of the teaching-learning process [11]. Recently, online education has continued to spread rapidly, partly due to the mandatory introduction of online education in many countries as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.…”

This study examines the process of creating successful, engaging, interactive, and activity-based online educational materials, while taking the cognitive aspects of learner s into account. The quality of online educational materials has become increasingly important in the recent period, and it is crucial that content is created that allows our students to learn effectively and enjoyably. In this paper, we present the milestones of curriculum creation and the resulting model, the criteria of selecting online learning environments, technical requirements, and the content of educational videos, interactive contents, and other methodological solutions. In addition, we also introduce some principles of instructional design, as well as a self-developed model that can be used to create effective online learning materials and online courses. There was a need for a self-developed, milestone-based, practice-oriented model because the models examined so far were too general and inadequate to meet the needs of a decentralized developer team, who work on different schedules, with significant geographical distances between them and do not place enough emphasis on taking cognitive factors into account. In these processes, special attention should be paid to having a clear and user-friendly interface, support for individual learning styles, effective multimedia, ongoing assistance and tracking of students’ progress, as well as interactivity and responsive appearance.

“…Using open-source software, students feel motivated as they can practice from a remote classroom. In [10], the authors survey the impact of virtual and remote manufacturing laboratories focused on teaching material characterization at the Technical University of Dortmund. The lab involves robotics machines, drawing testing machines, and Zwick machines.…”

The educational sector has made extraordinary efforts to neutralize the impact of the pandemic caused by COVID-19, forcing teachers, scholars, and academic personnel to change the way education is delivered by developing creative and technological solutions to improve the landscape for education. The Internet of Things (IoT) is crucial for the educational transition to digital and virtual environments. This paper presents the integration of IoT technology in the Two-Dimensional Cartesian Coordinate System Educational Toolkit (2D-CACSET), to transform it into MEIoT 2D-CACSET; which includes educational mechatronics and the IoT. The Educational Mechatronics Conceptual Framework (EMCF) is extended to consider the virtual environment, enabling knowledge construction in virtual concrete, virtual graphic, and virtual abstract levels. Hence, the students acquire this knowledge from a remote location to apply it further down their career path. Three instructional designs are designed for this work using the MEIoT 2D-CACSET to learn about coordinate axes, quadrants, and a point in the 2D Coordinate Cartesian System. This work is intended to provide an IoT educational technology to offer an adequate response to the educational system’s current context.
