CLOUD COMPUTING AND ITS APPLICATION TO BLENDED LEARNING IN ENGINEERING

Summary/Abstract: The education process in engineering means theory and practice, complex self-study, team projects or experimental work that involves equipment, simulation/emulation software packages and laboratory applications. In order to develop e-learning platforms for higher and postgraduate education in engineering, new methodologies should be taken into consideration: project- and problem based learning, remote laboratory, which requires remote access to laboratory infrastructure, or virtual laboratory that means simulation of existing laboratory and virtual environment implementation to be as close as possible to the real world. The remote assistance for diploma projects and mobility grants is another important aspect, as well as the student’s progress and coordinator’s evaluation. This paper presents advanced blended assessment methodologies and the manner they can be customized for higher and postgraduate education in engineering, including the teacher’s contribution in collaborative evaluation of project and laboratory activities.
