Abstract:

During Sars-Cov2 pandemic period higher education systems have been severely impacted and the needed to adapt to online activities that are still challenging nowadays. The paper describes the architecture and implementation of a laboratory experimental framework for enhancing practical learning capacities among students. This framework allows the remote and effective interaction of students with physical experimental stands by interactive mobile applications. The implementation details are presented and described. A pilot study case on using this framework within a target group of engineering students from Vasile Alecsandri University of Bacău, Romania is provided. The implications of this teaching approach are analysed. The results have empirically proved that using this kind of specific apps improves practical knowledge, as well as the participatory culture, which could lead to an overall better management of the educational process of students. This framework should be adopted further as an efficient communication model, easy to replicate for various technical disciplines.
