Download or read book Telepresence in Training written by Jean-Luc Rinaudo and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-11-26 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The different forms of telepresence in education, in distance learning, in student support, in the use of learning environments or even at the heart of robot systems, are developed in universities and higher education facilities specializing in professional training. They constitute opportunities to reform arguments and give rise to important questions: how should we think about the hierarchy of presence and absence in these techniques in order to make possible “the presence of the absent”? What is the effect on mediation processes? On the perception of the body and on identity? How does it transform collaborative work? Telepresence in Training brings together research that attempts to answer these questions by using studies and practical supports from higher education, with regards to teacher training and telepresence robots in France, Belgium, Switzerland and Quebec.

Download or read book VIRTUAL TRAINING LAB TLAB written by Naqi U. Khan and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid growth of telepresence technology led to the creation of Telepresence Robot Empowered Smart Lab (TRESL) to overcome the challenges in distance education, lab and field work. This research created a similar setup (virtual and physical laboratory) over the broadband internet, tested numerous scenarios including dispersed and centralized system and discovered logistical challenges with performance, network connectivity and user training for controlling the equipment. Collected data showed the potential downsides of broadband connection, last mile problem occurred due the shared bandwidth among local consumers also, it was observed that user training is required to manipulate controls from a remote location. This research highlights the question of operational reliability of internet connection for telepresence technology specifically for laboratories which often requires machine-like point to point accuracy. It is recommended to explore technologies like Direct Internet Access (DIA) and suggested optimization of virtual device (digital twin) for increasing the performance and reliability.

Download or read book Cahiers du LLL n 12 bis Telepresence teaching and learning written by Matthieu Petit and published by Presses universitaires de Louvain. This book was released on 2022-06-21 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hybrid or fully online? Synchronous or asynchronous? Unimodal, bimodal, comodal or multimodal? The all-out development of distance learning has led to the creation of appropriate digital systems, either by using what was already in place (such as video conferencing classrooms and web conferencing software supporting virtual classrooms) or introducing innovative environments (such as immersive telepresence classrooms). To use these versatile, multi-functional technologies, teachers need to take a step back to enable them to adapt their teaching methods and offer learners a suitable environment that overcomes physical and geographical distances. As for students, the need to "be there" and “be together” while learning remotely has to be taken into account to maintain their commitment and ensure they continue to contribute, despite the fact they are apart. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us the importance of the professional, collegial and friendship connections we have with those we usually meet face-to-face in a traditional classroom. Telepresence systems enable all these people to come together remotely (and synchronously) and make it possible to use active teaching methods, driven by the self-regulation of the learners. But what is telepresence? Do teachers need any special training? How do you attend lessons remotely? How do participants learn in a telepresence setting? What type of student assessment can be used in such an environment? The result of international collaboration, this short guide looks at these questions from both a research and a practical perspective, inviting you to explore telepresence teaching and learning.

Download or read book Nervous States Democracy and the Decline of Reason written by William Davies and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2019-02-26 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Wide-ranging yet brilliantly astute. . . . Davies is a wild and surprising thinker who also happens to be an elegant writer.” — Jennifer Szalai, New York Times Hailed as a “masterpiece” (Mark Green, New York Times Book Review), Nervous States offers an astute diagnosis for why our politics has become so fractious and warlike. In this bold and far- reaching book, political economist William Davies argues that our increasing reliance on feeling over fact has transformed democracies. The spread of media technology and the intrusion of mass shootings and terrorist attacks into everyday life has reduced a world of logic and fact into one driven by fear and anxiety. As emotions supplant facts in our politics, we lose the basis for consensus among people who otherwise have little in common. Nervous States “sits at the intersection of ongoing debates about post-truth, the assault on reason, the privileging of personal feelings and the rise of populism” (Financial Times) and provides an essential guide to the turbulent times in which we now live. “An insightful and well- written book that explores the deep roots of the current crisis of expertise.” — Yuval Noah Harari, New York Times best-selling author of Sapiens
