STUDENTS’ EVALUATION 1.Conducting of this remote experiment helped me to achieve learning module's objectives 2.Conducting of this remote experiment helped me to achieve learning module's outcomes 3.The remote experiment facilitated better understanding of module's theoretical background 4.The remote experiment helped mi to learn to use lab equipment 5.Remote experiment within this learning module is prepared on appropriate technical level 6.Experiment is easy to understand and use TREND 2016 Conference , Zlatibor

STUDENTS’ EVALUATION 7.Written manual for remote experiment is clearly understandable and helpful 8.Remote experiment was supported by adequate explanations of teacher/teaching assistant before its starting 9.User interface for remote experiment within this learning module is easy to use 10.Response time after user action within running experiment is satisfying 11.Capture of experimental results is enabled 12.Storage of experimental results is enabled 13.Quality of visual display is satisfactory 14.There was no problem or stalling while working with remote experiment 15.I would like to use remote lab in other lessons of this subject too TREND 2016 Conference , Zlatibor

STUDENTS’ EVALUATION TREND 2016 Conference , Zlatibor QuestionNot relevant12345 Average grade

STUDENTS’ EVALUATION -Results First part: Highest grades - preparation of remote experiment in technical point of view and adequate support from teacher/teaching assistant Lowest grades - response time and storage of experimental results TREND 2016 Conference , Zlatibor

STUDENTS’ EVALUATION -Results Second part: Biggest disadvantage – very slow response time Advantages are different: they can do experiment from home, process was easy to understand, experiment help them in understanding of some theoretical concepts TREND 2016 Conference , Zlatibor

CONCLUSION - Mastering the skills in programming of FPGA - Students can access and do all assignments from their home - Easy implementation and use of CEyeClon platform - Evaluation process – improvement of lab module for the following generations of students TREND 2016 Conference , Zlatibor
