Remote experimentation model based on digital TV

This work proposes the use of interactive digital TV as an interface for access to remote experimentation laboratories, because remote labs can fulfill the purposes of experiments in various areas of education, and digital TV can be used with interactive applications. The proposal described in this paper was based on the interactivity features of digital television systems, as well as on the particular aspects of remote experiments, underpinned by the theory of multiple intelligences and the patterns of interactivity of digital TV systems. The model resulting from this work guides the deployment of interactive TV applications to access remote experiments, and it seeks to provide individualized learning alternatives covering three Gardner´s multiple intelligences in an interactive environment for remote experimentation based on using only the remote control, and bringing together the broadcast industry and the educational environment.
