In the information age, MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses), micro-classes, flipping classroom, and other blended teaching scenes have improved students learning outcomes. However, incorporating technologies into experimental courses, especially electronic and electrical experiments, has its own characteristics and difficulties. The focus of this paper is to introduce virtual technology into an electronic circuit experiment course and to explore its teaching strategy, thereby realizing the informatization of experiment teaching. First, this paper explores the design concepts and implementation details of the digital circuit virtual laboratory, which is then developed based on previous literature and a prequestionnaire to users. Second, the informatization process of the experiment learning model based on traditional custom lab benches is shown through a blended learning scheme that integrates the online virtual laboratory. Finally, the experiment information system is verified and analyzed with a control group experiment and questionnaires. The blended program turned out to be an effective teaching model to complement the deficiencies in existing physical laboratories. The research conclusions show that the virtual experiment system provides students with a rich, efficient, and expansive experimental experience, in particular, the flexibility, repeatability, and visual appeal of a virtual platform could promote the development of students’ abilities in active learning, reflective thinking, and creativity.

“…This platform will provide comprehensive support for professional experimental teaching. The platform provides a space for teachers and students to communicate, analyze, discuss, and strengthen the interaction, continuous communication, and resource sharing of experimental teaching information [31,32]. In addition, the construction of this platform aims to bridge the gap between the laboratory, faculty, and students.…”

With the emergence of “Internet + higher education,” online teaching platforms have become increasingly important, particularly for practical teaching courses. The study of oil and gas storage and transportation is a fundamental and essential course for students in this major. In light of the issues related to limited space, lack of openness, and low student enthusiasm for traditional experimental teaching methods, an online experimental teaching platform for oil and gas storage and transportation was developed. This platform is based on the WeChat mini-program and follows the principles of cross-platform computability, user friendliness, and low investment. Its aim is to explore effective learning models for mobile devices. This study compares and analyzes the differences in classroom effects before and after the implementation of the WeChat learning platform. The study examines the design of the platform, teaching session cases, and the analysis of application effects. The research utilizes questionnaires and statistical data as research methods. The results indicate that the WeChat online teaching platform has significantly improved the enthusiasm and learning outcomes of students in the independent learning of experimental courses. It has received high recognition from both teachers and students and has greatly enhanced the quality of teaching. This has considerable potential for further promotion.

Automatic scoring and feedback tools have become critical components of online learning proliferation. These tools range from multiple-choice questions to grading essays using machine learning (ML). Learning environments such as massive open online courses (MOOCs) would not be possible without them. The usage of this mechanism has brought many exciting areas of study, from the design of questions to the ML grading tools' precision and accuracy. This paper analyzes the findings of 125 studies published in journals and proceedings between 2016 and 2020 on the usages of automatic scoring and feedback as a learning tool. This analysis gives an overview of the trends, challenges, and open questions in this research area. The results indicate that automatic scoring and feedback have many advantages. The most important benefits include enabling scaling the number of students without adding a proportional number of instructors, improving the student experience by reducing the time between submission grading and feedback, and removing bias in scoring.On the other hand, these technologies have some drawbacks. The main problem is creating a disincentive to develop innovative answers that do not match the expected one or have not been considered when preparing the problem. Another drawback is potentially training the student to answer the question instead of learning the concepts. With this, given the exitance of a correct answer, such an answer could be leaked to the internet, making it easier for students to avoid solving the problem. Overall, each of these drawbacks presents an opportunity to look at ways to improve technologies to use these tools to provide a better learning experience to students.
