Desenvolvimento e avaliação de usabilidade de um laboratório remoto para ensino de microcontroladores

Abstract

Currently, there is a paradigm break on the internet due to IoT (Internet of Things - Internet of Things), where more and more technological resources are present in people's lives, facilitating the execution of several tasks. Faced with this scenario, many possibilities and challenges arise for technology professionals in general, generating the need for new tools for study in the areas involved and especially to facilitate learning, as is the case with remote teaching that allows flexibility of time and locality. The remote teaching is a current reality that was shown to be necessary during the period of social isolation caused by the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. This period also showed us the importance of remote access to equipment, as well as the need for technological improvement for other adverse situations. In the literature, several works were found proposing architectures of Remote Labs, which highlight the importance of this type of tool. In this work, was developed a Remote Lab named LRM-U9 (Microcontroller Remote Lab of Uninove) for studies of Microcontrollers in undergraduate courses, using usability measurement techniques to evaluate it as a teaching tool and elaboration scripts from which students of the courses Electrical Engineering and Industrial Mechatronics could perform learning exercises remotely. The results obtained indicated that it is possible to measure the usability of the LRM-U9 and that it can be an alternative as a teaching tool.
