How does simulation differ from reality? Students at the NORDAKADEMIE were able to experience this by building an ALU both in a software simulation and from real electrical components. Image of the simulation software LogicCircuits and the ALU modeled in itBut what is an ALU? An arithmetic logic unit is
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
Is CrossLab a Tale of Tomorrow? The team from Freiberg presented the visions of our project at the University:Future Festival 2024 and discussed the potential contributions of digital laboratories for curent challenging questions of learning processes. André Dietrich and Sebastian Zug illustrated the features and capabilities of serverless and
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
We are delighted to share that our research project participated in eLearning Africa from 29 to 31 May 2024. During this 3-day conference, we hosted an engaging demonstration and workshop on the topic of "Creating Sustainable and Extendable Open Educational Resources (OER) as an Interactive Classroom." A key
The 9th Night of Science and Economy in Freiberg was a truly wonderful opportunity to present the results of the CrossLab project to the general public. At the opening of the ROBOLAB in the heart of Freiberg, the CrossLab team at TUBAF were delighted to have the chance to inspire
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 CrossLab team of the 4 partner universities - TU Dortmund, TU Ilmenau, Nordakademie and TU Freiberg - met from 13 to 15 February 2024 in the new RoboLab of TUBAF in the centre of Freiberg. Following the positive evaluation of the extension, the meeting focused on the current status

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
