Description
Summary:This paper describes an integrated learning platform intended to support Internet-based control-engineering education. Four environments have been developed, namely, remote experimentation, mathematical analysis, dynamic simulation, and self-learning. The learning platform is a virtual support for problem-based education in control engineering. The reported development allows multiple users the access to concepts and both experimental and computational resources through an intuitive and powerful user interface that only requires a Web browser, a low-bandwidth Internet connection, and low user-side technical specifications. The server side is scalable and reproducible since it is based on general public license (GPL) Linux operating system and a Matlab license. The integration of the proposed theoretical, computational, and experimental tools improves previous experiences in Internet-based control education.
