Professors at Dongshin University Develop Online Lecture Program for Experiments and Practicals, Gaining Attention

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Professors at Dongshin University have developed a program that enables experimental and practical courses to be conducted through non-face-to-face online remote lectures, in line with the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, drawing attention.

Amid rising anxiety among students and parents about face-to-face classes due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this program is receiving significant attention as a solution to such issues.

According to Dongshin University on the 12th, professors from the Energy IoT major, Department of Information and Communication Engineering, Department of Computer Science, and Department of Landscape Architecture developed the ‘Dongshin University Remote Experiment and Practice Client Program,’ which allows electronic circuit-related practical classes to be conducted via internet remote lectures.

After students install the program on their computers and access Dongshin University's Learning Management System (LMS), selecting the relevant practical course will display a screen on their computer monitor that allows remote operation of the voltage measuring device, the ‘Oscilloscope.’

In the actual laboratory, the ‘Oscilloscope,’ ‘Function Generator,’ and ‘IP Camera’ are connected, so students can directly see at home how the signal values input through the client program’s control menu are output on the ‘Oscilloscope.’

After remotely listening to the theoretical lectures pre-entered by professors on the LMS, each student can conduct experiments and practical work using the equipment and immediately check the results.

Dongshin University plans to first utilize this program for non-face-to-face remote classes in courses such as Basic Communication Circuits (2nd-year major) in the Department of Information and Communication Engineering, Circuit Theory and Experiment (2nd-year major) in the Energy IoT major, and Soundscape Design (2nd-year major) in the Department of Landscape Architecture.

Additionally, the university plans to increase the practical equipment that can be connected to the program to prepare for situations where face-to-face classes are impossible, such as the second wave of COVID-19.

Professor Jeong Kyung-kwon, head professor of the Energy IoT major at Dongshin University’s College of Energy Convergence, who led the program development, said, “If the same principles are used, practical classes utilizing electronic and electrical equipment can effectively conduct real experiments and practices through remote lectures,” adding, “We will work harder on program development and expansion for the students.”
