论文摘要
由于Covid-19的大流行，许多大学课程不得不突然转变以实现远程教学。在嵌入式系统和微控制器上调整课程是更具挑战性的，因为与真实硬件的互动是它们不可或缺的一部分。我们首先将我们的经验与教学嵌入式系统的四个基本替代方案进行比较：1）与学校的硬件进行交互，2）远程访问硬件，3）向学生借给学生进行家庭工作和4）虚拟化硬件。之后，我们详细评估了我们从传统的离线户外硬件编程课程到使用实验室中存在的真实硬件的快速过渡的经验。事实证明，这种不寻常的远程硬件访问方法是教授嵌入式系统的完全可行的替代方法，从而实现了相对较低的过渡。我们的设置基于现有的解决方案和稳定的开放技术，而无需使用需要高维护的定制应用程序。我们评估了学生和老师的经验，并评估了未来课程的凝结外卖。特定的环境设置可以在线获得，作为他人的灵感。
Due to the pandemic of COVID-19, many university courses had to abruptly transform to enable remote teaching. Adjusting courses on embedded systems and micro-controllers was extra challenging since interaction with real hardware is their integral part. We start by comparing our experience with four basic alternatives of teaching embedded systems: 1) interacting with hardware at school, 2) having remote access to hardware, 3) lending hardware to students for at-home work and 4) virtualizing hardware. Afterward, we evaluate in detail our experience of the fast transition from traditional, offline at-school hardware programming course to using remote access to real hardware present in the lab. The somewhat unusual remote hardware access approach turned out to be a fully viable alternative for teaching embedded systems, enabling a relatively low-effort transition. Our setup is based on existing solutions and stable open technologies without the need for custom-developed applications that require high maintenance. We evaluate the experience of both the students and teachers and condense takeaways for future courses. The specific environment setup is available online as an inspiration for others.
