The remote laboratory VISIR - Introducing online laboratory equipment in electrical engineering classes
Abstract
This innovative practice full paper is displaying research results on implementing a ready-to-use remote lab in the area of electronics called Virtual Instrument Systems In Reality (VISIR) in several electrical engineering classes at the University of Georgia (UGA) over three consecutive terms. The displayed research data has been generated during the spring, summer, and fall terms in 2019. This paper discusses existing research contexts and results concerning VISIR in general and the VISIR integration at UGA in particular. Furthermore, the students' feedback and educational research results from the focused three semesters will be displayed. It is evident, that the use of remote labs does exclude segments of reality and context during the experimental procedure. The question is instead, if and to what extent this is beneficial for the learning experience, e.g. by looking at collaboration and learning outcomes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
