Abstract :
Problem solving using LEGOS is a 3-credit hour course offered to any student at Pace University of Pleasantville, New York. The class uses a project-based learning environment, which consists of four design projects. This paper discusses the pedagogical advantages of teaching robotics in a mixed-reality environment with a virtual instructor as opposed to teaching robotics in a traditional laboratory setting
