All topics related to Technology enhanced learning (TEL), e-learning and blended learning. Most likely connected with topics of Web Engineering

The term Technology-enhanced learning (TEL) is used to describe the utilization of IT for teaching and learning purposes.
TEL seeks to improve the student learning experience by:
– Enabling student engagement
– combining attendance teaching and elearning into blended learning processes
– Encouraging inspirational and innovative teaching;

TEL makes use of distance learning or remote and virtual lab technologies.

Online Experimentation: Emerging Technologies and IoT

A new book I was involved in with a chapter about "Unified Remote and Virtual Lab Solutions for Engineering Education" was just published. It took now some time to get it edited and finally printed, but it was worth the time to wait for. Here a part taken from the foreword, written by Mark Schulz from
