Description |
Web Lab is an attempt to calibrate, and provide a context for, networked simulation
environments. Shared, web based activities are used to complement and extend classroom
science, allowing resources that could not be made available in the classroom or lab
to be directly controlled and monitored through a basic browser interface. This means
that shared planning, execution and documenting of the experiments can involve students
and teachers in several schools.
The control problems of distant sensors systems soon become apparent with Heronsgate
School's Mars Buggy environment. As does the important idea of program generalizabilty-
the same program that works in the classroom maze also works on Mars (temporarily
located in the KMi). Other lab environments currently being developed include the
ultra low speed wind tunnel and the web leaf |
