Virtual classrooms for robotics and other engineering applications

Internet based teaching and learning systems are ready for the connection with engineering systems at companies and teaching purposed laboratories. In order to make this connection possible, organized descriptions and functionalities are being developed for computer based course programs in engineering. This paper discusses several selected issues from this area. After an introduction about the cited previous work, classroom elements and engineering system resources are discussed and related. Following this, a possible integration with robotic system is explained. Next, course modeling is outlined from the point of view of teachers and students and relationships and processes are discussed as selected issues for practice. Finally, an application of modification by features at the construction of model for teaching program is shown.
