DOI 10.1109/tale52509.2021.9678901
Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Project-based learning is a teaching approach designed for active learning processes where students produce solutions to real-life problems. In this paper, we describe an experience in organizing complex project-based student learning during quarantine using a real-time simulation and collaboration platform. During 10 weeks of training, students managed to create a virtual three-dimensional model of the university on the basis of a real building. The use of new technology from Nvidia enabled all participants of the training to work together with a complex three-dimensional project in real-time. This approach of teaching made it possible to effectively monitor the progress of students and correct their mistakes in time. Data gathered during the project-based learning can be used for applying appropriate analytical techniques and detecting insights of collaborative learning.
