Participants in the "Software Development for Embedded Systems" lecture recently undertook an ambitious project: creating five remote labs as open educational resources using edrys-Lite [https://edrys-labs.github.io]. This integrated practical course challenged students not only to tackle the technical aspects but also to craft comprehensive learning experiences.
At the meeting in summery Ilmenau on 3 and 4 July, the two working groups of the CrossLab project - technology and didactics - presented their respective work status. These two perspectives were combined in workshops focused on the UI/UX view of the implementation and the classification of existing
Edrys-Lite is a browser-based approach to remote labs that simplifies the process of creating and sharing educational lab environments. This innovative tool leverages two key technologies: WebRTC for direct peer-to-peer connections between browsers, and CRDT (Conflict-free Replicated Data Types) for real-time data synchronization. Additionally, Edrys-Lite replicates the modular approach and
In this example, the Arduino is also hosting a website/dashboard to control it and any kind of experiment it performs. Everything that is required is a Chrome based browser with WebSerial, works on Linux and should also work on Windows or Mac. Edrys-Lite is a RemoteLab Sharing environment that

The system soil-water-atmosphere-plant is of central importance in geoecological education. At the same time it is inherently characterised by complex interacting, non-linear processes. In many cases, the complexity and the abstract situation of limited observability hinder an approach to the subject. Furthermore, processes such as infiltration, water redistribution, root water

As part of the CrossLab project, the Department of Systems and Software Engineering is proposing the further development of two existing laboratories, the Ball Drop Test and the Model Railway. Both labs are currently used for courses and other student work. The department is already planning to modernise and expand

Accurate measurement of temperature plays a major role not only in weather observation, but in many technical fields - temperature is the most measured quantity after time. Temperature cannot be measured directly, but only by its effect on another physical quantity. In industry, mainly electrical thermometers (resistance thermometers and thermocouples)

Laboratory work with various components such as lasers, lenses and camera chips is an essential part of optics education. The construction of simple optical systems, e.g. to determine the quality of a laser beam profile or to analyse the light distribution behind different beam shapers, is very important in
