COLLABORATIVE LEARNING AND ENGINEERING WORKSPACES

AbstractResearch results of improving remote collaboration are presented. The results are based on a new concept of mixed reality. It is capable of to train collaborative work over remote sites. The collaborative environment makes use of the system named deriveSERVER, which has been developed by the Artec Research Center (University of Bremen). It is extended to allow the integration with remote hardware. Remote experiments are used to enhance lessons in SENAI-RS, a vocational education institution in southern Brazil, enabling the development of collaborative projects among students at different sites.
