Remote Laboratory, Based on Raspberry Pi, to Facilitate Scientific Experimentation for Secondary School Students

Abstract

The pandemic caused by COVID 19 forced education systems to offer their services remotely due to social distancing policies. This article discusses research results on the development of remote laboratory architectures to deliver scientific experimentation in the area of physics for secondary school students using desktop computers or mobile devices.The design of the remote laboratory is based on the Raspberry Pi device, using various sensors and a graphical interface through which access and communication is given.The purpose of the development of this remote laboratory is to provide teachers and students of secondary education access to the development of remote activities for scientific experimentation in physics courses, using low-cost devices and free software.

Design and Implementation of an Innovative Raspberry Pi Auxiliary Device with Mountable Display

“…In addition, Raspberry Pi has been used as an essential tool for setting up digital measurement systems necessary for physics experiments. In this way, it enabled students to experience the process of collecting, analyzing, and storing data obtained from physical sensors in real-time, thereby giving them a deeper understanding of the scientific method [4]. Finally, in the field of process control education, the introduction of practical instruction regarding robot design and control using Raspberry Pi has allowed students to enhance their abilities to solve real-world problems [6].…”

“…Raspberry Pi is also used as an essential tool in computer science and engineering education for the Internet of Things (IoT) [3]. Moreover, it can be used to set up a digital measurement system that students need to perform actual physics experiments [4]. These findings provide rich examples of how Raspberry Pi can be used in educational contexts and show how it can enhance students' learning experiences and outcomes.…”

Internet of Things and Blockchain-Based Framework for Coronavirus (COVID-19) Disease

“…Internetconnected devices may communicate with one another via a variety of transmission methods. Sending data to the mobile devices of patients and healthcare professionals is how this data is acquired [23], [24], [25]. Patients and medical professionals must work together to devise a safe way to exchange patient data.…”
