摘要:AbstractSmartphones as our permanent companion seem to be an expedient choice for the implementation of e-learning tools in the form of smartphone apps due to their convenience and accessibility. We hence present two recently published smartphone apps that were developed for an introductory control course. The apps serve the purposes of (i) improving learning progress and (ii) revision of course content between lectures. In this paper, we explain how the apps align with our lectureIntroduction to Automatic Control, put them into context of our e-learning strategy and describe our pursued goals. Moreover, a survey among third year control students is discussed, which supports the presented approach. Finally, we discuss and compare the mean (smartphone app) to other measures, considering both content and goals.
