Centre for Emerging

Learning Technologies (CELT)

Complete interactive educational, learning and experimentation platform

Continuous research and development activities to implement innovative ‘digital’ pedagogical online teaching, learning and experimentation tools.

Mixed Reality Experiments

New Online
Tools

The online experimentation facilities have been developed based on the use of mixed-reality (MR) concept, where the experiment’s output data are initially obtained through a real operation of the experiment, then stored on the cloud to be used during the online session.

Online tools are simulation-based calculations with different visualization and charting capabilities students/teachers can use to understand and examine the effect of certain parameter(s) variation on the behavior of a specific physical and engineering concepts. The developed online tools cover wide range of engineering concepts.

New interactive

Considering education and learning processes in their widest sense of being accessible anytime to all, the Centre for Emerging Learning Technologies (CELT) at the British University in Egypt focuses on the development of an engaging learning platform to support the University’s strategic objective towards digital transformation

LEARNING TOOLS AND EXPERIMENTATIONS

The developed environment provides an easy-to-use, responsive, engaging learning activities students can use anytime from anywhere to enhance their understanding of key concepts. The developed environment includes mainly two different interactive online activities:

The Online Tools

The Mixed-Reality Experiments.

STUDENTS AND TEACHERS CAN USE

Ranging from a simple one-dimensional plot to 3D pattern, different visualization and charting capabilities have been used to better support students’ understanding of targeted concepts.

BASED ON THE USE OF MIXED-REALITY (MR) CONCEPT

The main benefit of this technique, compared to other online types, is that online (remote) student will get real measurement data typically as if the experiment is performed in normal conditions.

To enhance students’ engagement in the online experimentation session, videos showing the real operation of the experiment as well as images of the actual used setup have also been integrated.
