"Study of atmospheric pressure" - A project utilising remote experiments

Abstract

The paper presents an application of Integrated e-Learning (INTe-L) in the project-based learning in university environment. It introduces the project assignments in Mechanics for the bachelor students majoring in "Teaching General Subjects". An important component of the educational process is laboratory work comprising an assignment targeted at the study of atmospheric pressure in a selected month in the towns of Trnava, Prague and Porto via real remote experiments on the Internet. The project steps include: collecting a certain amount of experimental data, processing it into tables and graphs using Origin software, and analysing the results. The implementation of INTe-L strategy into project-based learning in Natural Science and Technology subjects contributes to the integrated education in a highly interactive for
