Student centered distance learning experiments over a communication and collaboration platform

Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to present two classes of distance learning experiments, with feedbacks. The experiments are based on constructivism theory.Design/methodology/approachThe paper adopts an experimental approach. Experiments are made with students. The assessments come from an analysis of questionnaires.FindingsThe results show technical evaluations and pedagogical evaluations of the e‐learning platform.Research limitations/implicationsThere are functional improvements of the developed platform.Practical implicationsThere are technical improvements of the developed platform.Originality/valueThis paper presents a student centered pedagogical approach supported by distant e‐learning platform.

Gambaran Cooperative Learning Tipe Think Pair Share Untuk Meningkatkan Kemampuan Berpikir Kritis

“…dengan model pembelajaran (Ayad, 2010). Think pair share (TPS), peserta didik dituntut lebih aktif yaitu berpikir mandiri (think), kemudian berpasangan atau berdiskusi (pair) dan berbagi dengan semua kelompok di kelas (share) (Baudin & Villemur, 2009).…”

Mechatronics Class through Virtual Platforms under COVID-19

“…Another useful platform is FluidSIM, an application designed for the creation, simulation, instruction and study of pneumatic and digital circuits [7]. There are research articles and papers that demonstrate the application of this platform in distance education or e-learning, in [8], an article on a student-centered pedagogical approach supported by a distance e-learning platform is presented, as well in [9], a study was carried out to know the performance of a group of students using the FluidSIM computer simulation software.…”
