“…The use of VR could enhance experimental learning [21]. With interdisciplinary stakeholders in our projects, we designed a system to simplify the xAPI tracking setup, according to iterative design and design-based research [22]. The stack can be seen in Figure 4.…”

“…A concrete usage scenario for the ReCoPa could look like this: e.g. for a (VR) application like the Rendering Pipeline in VR used in [22] or the virtualized RFID laboratory described in [6], the researcher can specify which data is interesting for the current experiment. In this example, the researcher wants to collect the interaction data and certain gestures like specific head movements.…”

Learning Analytics provides plenty of pedagogical uses. However, the integration of learning analytics must be accompanied by different perspectives: technical, organizational, and pedagogical. At this point, there are still gaps, e.g., the need to connect the various stakeholders and support the systematic, structured, and sustainable process. This paper presents different approaches to making the learning data standard xAPI for interdisciplinary projects easier by working on other starting points. Starting with a basic infrastructure to support the interdisciplinary collection of definitions for the standardized data format, it continues with a graphical user interface supporting different stakeholders. A modular tool for quickly connecting programming IDEs with the vocabulary is also presented. Last, a connector is shown for easier multi-modal data management using virtual reality as an example.

Digital and remote education is of growing interest for internationalized education programs that combine state-of-the-art training programs including hybrid and blended elements. Particularly, but not limited to optics and photonics, hands-on experiences in training laboratories are key ingredients of modern academic education programs that cannot easily be replaced adequately. We propose a versatile platform for remote-controllable experiments with a focus on a flexible implementation. We present a toolbox called Extended Reality Twin Lab, which enables teachers and lecturers in academia with a personal commitment to advance and innovate education methods and learning outcomes to build their own remotely controllable optics and photonics experiments. An open-source GitHub repository includes source codes for the server, the respective web applications, and the included microcontrollers. It also contains the 3D printable models used to create the attachments for optical components often used in scientific labs. All parts are modularly designed to enable individual adaptation to a variety of experiments. We exemplify our approach by presenting a fully remote-controllable Michelson interferometer that was readily implemented in an ongoing international master's degree curriculum. With this implementation, international students are now able to attend the course and acquire specific optical knowledge and lab training regardless of their actual physical location. Reviewing this running field experiment, we also discuss students' learning outcomes with respect to optical principles, experimentation, and instruments.
