New Software for Teaching University and College Engineering Labs Online

University engineering programs are grappling with how to engage with students and help them participate in lab experiments online. Enter the new VDAS e-lab software from TecQuipment.

This software allows for remote blended learning that is flexible and easy to use. It’s a cloud-based system that allows remote students to interactively engage and participate in laboratory experiments for an adaptable blended learning approach.

For individual, group or post-graduate student use, or for laboratory technicians and lecturers demonstrating experiments to a whole class online, VDAS e-lab gives each participating individual real-time calculation, recording and charting abilities with fast data export on their own computers, while being connected to the single experiment and receiving a live data feed.

It works with any VDAS -enabled teaching products and allows for an unlimited number of students who can simultaneously acquire and process live experimental data remotely from their computer, just as they would in the lab. Watch this video to learn more.

So what are the benefits?

  • Provides automatic calculation, recording, charting and data export remotely
  • An unlimited number of students can simultaneously acquire and process live experimental data remotely from
    their computer, just as they would in the laboratory
  • Students can individually manipulate the experiment data remotely
  • Intuitive and easy-to-use, with clear, customization display and layout options
  • To monitor engagement, the connection status of students are time logged
  • Suited to remote classroom demonstrations, laboratory experiments and group work
  • Low network bandwidth requirement of 1 Mbps to increase accessibility
