Explorando la Implementación de un Laboratorio Remoto de Impresión 3D para la Enseñanza de las TIC

Abstract

The use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) has become an essential part of modern life, including the increasingly popular 3D printing technology. However, its use in schools can be limited due to factors such as time, material waste, energy consumption, and accessibility. Remote laboratories solve this issue since they provide access to a wide range of resources. This flexibility can benefit students offering a more positive learning experience. In this work, a 3D printing laboratory provided by LabsLand has been employed to test it suitability for ICTs learning on secondary schools. Following a pre/post test design, results have shown that 3D printing remote laboratory help student to better understand the functioning of this technology. Especially, when referring to the orientation in which the piece should be printed. Furthermore, user experience was measured obtaining that students are very satisfied with the experience which make them better learn the technology
