Hello I'm Bálint Kiss 18 years old student from Hungary. Ed tech completely changed my life.<br>
I'm interested in EECS learning, developing and instruction of electronic devices.<br><br>

I wanted to learn how these devices are working: like <a href="https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Products" target="_blank">Arduinos</a>, <a href="http://www.ti.com/ww/en/launchpad/launchpad.html" target="_blank">TI Launchpads</a>. I've got a lot of free online resources but after some years of doing experiments I want to learn deeply the ARM microcontrollers.

    <td class="text">
Here at edX I found the course named <strong><a href="https://www.edx.org/course/embedded-systems-shape-world-utaustinx-ut-6-02x" target="_blank">Shape the World</a> </strong>with professor Valvano and professor Yerraballi. That was exciting and <a href="https://verify.edx.org/cert/3dec12c4a53941fd889f2d8b82399e67" target="_blank">I've got my certificate</a>.<br><br>

I've learned that the most important thing is: by using educational technology <strong>I know what I want to learn</strong>. By Using educational technology the <strong>learning process can be very easy and exciting</strong>.<br><br>

With the knowledge from edx i've designed a new tool for learning electronics by succesfull experiments. This is <strong><a href="http://eskolar.com/about/en/" target="_blank">my tool called apaBoard</a></strong>.<br>
It uses a modular system. You can connect modules to modules and build devices without deep previous knowledge. <br>
Everybody can build, design and construct what he or she wants, and <strong>learn electronics by building devices</strong>.<br><br>

My project became quite successfull. It won a lot of prizes, I've presented my device at national and international competitions and conferences like <a href="http://eucys2014.pl/" target="_blank">EUCYS in Poland</a> and<a href="http://www.esi2015.be/" target="_blank"> Milset 2015 in Brusseles</a>. <br><br>

My mentor Kertesz Krisztian who works at Institute of <a href="http://www.mfa.kfki.hu/en" target="_blank">Technical Physics and Materials Science of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences</a> said that if I've taught myself let's try whether this method would work for other students.<br><br>

So I put all my exciting experiments into this box. It is the deluxeBox. I went to schools and I've presented to more than 1000 students in classrooms and conferences. Students who have tried some of my experiments, said they would like to use my devices and methods.<br><br>

Now I'm interested in learning ed methods and technologies to use  Massive Open Online Course for those students who are interested in learning with my electronic devices and my tools. I've learned to use a lot of software for building multimedia content, step-by-step wikis, videos, graphs, animations. <br>
I am building my own <a href="http://eskolar.com/about/en/" target="_blank">website</a>, <a href="http://eskolar.com/apa/index.php/Motor_Servo" target="_blank">wiki site with multimedia content</a> and I want to learn &amp; use ed. tech. very efficiently.

It can be implemented in <strong><a href="http://eskolar.com/apa/index.php/Bemutat%C3%B3" target="_blank">curriculum</a></strong> in learning process of electronics, informatics, physics.<br>
We can get <strong>up-to-date experience</strong> for young students who are intreseted in learnig, understanding electronic technology even if they haven't pevious knowledge.</td>

    <td class="text">The technological background means that students and teachers are using a learning tool named <strong>embedded system</strong> and they have access to online materials like videos, wikis, step-by-step multimedia tutorials.<br>
The total cost is between <strong>10$ </strong>and 300$ USD depending on the embedded system that someone has chosen.<br><br>

I have worked with <a href="https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Products" target="_blank">Arduino</a>, <a href="http://www.ti.com/ww/en/launchpad/launchpad.html" target="_blank">TI Launchpad</a>,<a href="http://www.ni.com/mydaq/" target="_blank"> NI MyDAQ</a>, <a href="http://www.ni.com/myrio/" target="_blank">MyRIO</a>. <br><br>


<strong>By online tutorials</strong> students may go ahead by their <strong>own pace</strong> even without educator support.<br>
It is very suitable for <a href="https://youtu.be/JK-ayxL27IE?t=1m15s" target="_blank"><strong>blended learning</strong></a>. In this case students can do experiments in small or larger groups.
The teachers role is <strong>facilitator</strong> in this case. Also they are involved in building and developing new methods by <strong>successful experiments</strong>. A successful experiment will be inserted into the resource.<br><br>

<strong>Stakeholders:</strong><br>
<strong>Students</strong> are able to learn in a short time high technology and can access and use hightech developments.<br>
<strong>Teachers</strong> using these resources could be more efficient as they don't have to worry about developing experiments. Together with teachers, students  connect the available modules what they need and they built a new device.<br>

<strong>Industrial environment</strong> is a very intresting stakeholder.<br>
Technology developers interested in usage and selling high-tech microcontrollers are also interested in education and communication of technology. Industry is also interested in <strong>dialogue</strong> with educators, mentors and teachers.<br>
Technology developers say that those young people, who can build those new devices called <a href="http://www.ti.com/ww/en/internet_of_things/" target="_blank"><strong>IoT(Internet of Things)</strong></a>, will shape the world and they are interested in using their specific technologies or devices.<br>

I must mention the very improtant role of the <strong>researce centers (<a href="http://www.mfa.kfki.hu/en" target="_blank">MFA</a>) & science centers (<a href="http://www.agoradebrecen.hu/en/" target="_blank">Agora</a>, <a href="http://www.mobilis-gyor.hu/" target="_blank">Mobilis</a>)</strong>.<br><br>

Using technology can make a lesson more <strong>powerful</strong> to students.<br>
Student can have hard time to make an experiment and build everything correctly.<br>
This can be achieved by using <strong>my online resources:</strong><br><br>

1. The <strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbIsVvjxR8oiRQkctFVUuHQ" target="_blank">videos</a></strong> explain the problem.<br>
2. <a href="http://eskolar.com/apa/index.php/Motor" target="_blank"><strong>Step-by-step multimedia</strong></a> contents let the students go ahead by their own pace to buil a correct device.<br>
3. <strong><a href="http://eskolar.com/apa/" target="_blank">Wiki</a></strong> contents are summerise and contain all descriptions, documentations, source codes.<br>  
4. <strong>Feedback</strong> is in real time. If someone follows these tutorials will build a working device. It will work.<br><br>

<strong>Why is potential for technology to be implemented in this context?</strong><br><br>

My experience is that students became very <strong>motivated</strong> to learn by building successful devices. In this case the knowledge <strong>can be used in real life</strong>.<br> 
Building a toy or building a real device is exactly the same.<br>
While <strong>constructing</strong>, building, developing some successful devicees we can have access to theoretical background <strong>as a next step</strong> for deep knowledge.</td>

<a href="http://www.ni.com/labview/" target="_blank">LabVIEW</a> can be a good choice. Educators, students can use<strong> drag & drop interactiv elements, buttons, graphs to simulate and visualise</strong> real time electronic events or data-flows.<br><br>

In most of the IDEs (integrated development) could be very time consuming to develop such elements and suppose programing knowledge.<br>
If we can't visualise data, students can <a href="http://energia.nu/reference/analogread/" target="_blank">see only numbers</a>.<br><br>

The LabVIEW is developed by engineers and uses a graphical programming language.<br>
LabVIEW's solutions witch are simple but at high-level can be <strong>succesfully</strong> used in learning process.<br>
Educators, students can learn the basics of LabVIEW in a short time and a complete explanation of a concept can be visualised in a couple of minutes.<br><br>

Students can <strong>quickly understand</strong>, what happens in a circuit or in a specific circumstance like using a specific sensor. <br>
Also the usage of such a software is usefull beause this technology is used in <a href="http://us.ni.com/academic/software" target="_blank">high-educational</a>, <a href="http://www.ni.com/labview/applications/test/" target="_blank">industrial</a> or <a href="http://www.ni.com/labview/applications/daq/" target="_blank">research</a> environment too.<br><br>

It is also a good argument that the developer (<a href="http://www.ni.com/" target="_blank">National Instruments</a>) offers suupport by it's <a href="http://www.ni.com/company/engineering-insights/stem/" target="_blank">Mentorship Program</a> (<a href="http://hungary.ni.com/debrecen/ni-mentor-program" target="_blank">Hungary</a>) to help and involve schools and educators.<br>

<p>You know I had talked with more then one hundred teachers, more than one thousand students, I know what they want, and what I want.<br />I know the problems, but how much weights a problem in the solution? This is what I<br />can&rsquo;t see.<br />So I tried with <a title="spreadsheet" href="https://ie.edtechx.org/blog/forums/topic/my-interactive-online-tool-to-analyse-readiness/ASSIGNMENT_2_1_spreadsheet.ods" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">a LibreOffice spreadsheet</a> to make some charts to see the <strong>relative weight of a problem</strong> in the readiness of introduction of my apaBoard.<br />And this was a pitch. I have added some values to the answers and these values can show the problems weight.</p>
<p>In the next step I want that a school leader can use my selector tool to see whether the school is ready for implementation.<br />I asked help to apply this concept in a <strong>javascript</strong> programmed online <strong>HTML5 tool</strong>.</p>
<p><a title="http://eskolar.com/download/11_133/form/" href="http://eskolar.com/download/11_133/form/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">You can try it online from my webpage</a></p>

<p><a title="myTool for apaBoard" href="http://eskolar.com/download/11_133/form/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><strong>I&rsquo;m very-very exited it shows exactly what I want. </strong></a><br />It is easy to use and it is scalable, also open source to use by anybody for any purpose.<br />It has a data array, and if I have to modify I can do it in a moment.</p>
<p><a title="download" href="http://eskolar.com/download/11_133/tool_for_edtech.zip" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">You can download it from this link.</a></p>
<p>We have two charts. In this pie chart we can see the weight of a problem by its value number.<br />It is clear enough: <strong>Founding</strong> + <strong>Cooperation</strong> + <strong>Educators time reimbursement </strong>are the most important factors.<br />These definitely determines if the school is ready for implementation.<br />Also I have some interesting points like: <strong>Computers age</strong>, <strong>Net bandwidth</strong>, <strong>Usage method</strong>, <strong>Educator activity type</strong>.</p>
<p>The line chart shows the value of the answer given by the school leader or the teacher.</p>
<p><img src="http://eskolar.com/download/11_133/mytool_2.png" alt="mytool" width="558" height="605" /></p>
<p>I have to finish the <strong>detailed evaluation answer</strong> option and I planned to <strong>get an email from the website</strong> with the values and to use these data in a database.</p>
<p>Hope You will enjoy it.<br /><a href="http://eskolar.com/download/11_133/mytool_3.png"><img src="http://eskolar.com/download/11_133/mytool_3.png" alt="mytool" width="560" height="235" /></a></p></td>

1. How can we easily build successful devices?<br>
2. What is a simple programming language for students?<br>
3. Do we have free (open source) online resources?<br>
4. What are their cost? <br>
<br>
<strong>Electrical learning devices are determined by two main components, hardware &amp; software.</strong><br>
<br>
Let see the hardware:<br>
We can buy quite cheap solutions like <a href="http://www.ti.com/ww/en/launchpad/launchpad.html?DCMP=rtos&amp;HQS=ep-sdo-rtos-pr-lp-launchpad-en" target="_blank">TI Launchpads</a>, <a href="https://www.arduino.cc/" target="_blank">Arduinos</a>. <br>
These are simple <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedded_system" target="_blank">embedded sytems</a>, the embeded system contains only 1 MCU, and that is all.<br>
But we <strong>want to build devices</strong> with sound, lights, leds, display, like <strong>robots</strong>, <strong>music toys</strong> or measuring centers...<br>
We must <strong>connect sensors</strong> and <strong>drivers</strong> to the embedded sytems, and we are in trouble because such an <strong>experiment contains many parts</strong>.<br>
It is a hard way for students, because <strong>building electronic devices can be very difficult, without previous knowlege.</strong><br>
<br>
If we want to buy kits, we have 2 ways:<br>
1. To buy a component kit with resistors, capacitors, leds, motors, motor driver, sensors on PCB.<br>
	Also this way can be challenging for educators, as they have to spend their time building experiments.<br>
2. Or you can choose a compact kit like <a href="http://www.ti.com/ww/en/launchpad/boosterpacks.html" target="_blank">boosterpacks</a> for launchpads or shields for arduinos. We can call these moduls.<br>
In this case you can't connect all moduls to one device, because these standards have limitations.<br>
<br>
3. apaBoard is a tool which I've developed. It is a modular multitool. <br>
<br>
<a href="http://eskolar.com/about/en/" title="apaboard link" target="_blank"><strong>On my site You can get all information about the apaboard.</strong></a>
<br>
<img src="http://eskolar.com/apa/images/b/be/Apaboard_en_modules_szorolap.png" alt="apaboard" width="400px" /><br>
<br>
4. Another<strong> big challenge is</strong> that after the first steps, everybody would like <strong>to build, construct a physical device like robot with motors and arms</strong>. <br>
<br>
<strong>How can a teacher build a multipurpose, scalable device?</strong>. <br>
I've got the solution, this is the Deluxe box but it is heavy and a big and more complex to be reproduced. <br>
<img src="http://eskolar.com/apa/images/thumb/c/cf/DSC01983.JPG/800px-DSC01983.JPG" alt="deluxe" width="300px" /><br>
This gives me the idea to make some little <strong>deluxe boxes</strong> which I named <strong>MyBox</strong>. It can be made from a single sheet of plexiglass with laser. And it is an <strong>universal case</strong> for all type of experiments. <br>
Now we have a completely <strong>correct electrical experiment and we can build the multi purpose physical device</strong> too.<br>
<img src="http://eskolar.com/apa/images/thumb/2/24/DSC01785_mybox.JPG/800px-DSC01785_mybox.JPG" alt="myBox" width="300px" /><br>
<br>
<strong>Softwares for programing MCUs:</strong><br>
<br>
1. The most of the <a href="http://www.ti.com/tool/ccstudio#descriptionArea" title="IDE" target="_blank">IDEs</a> use C, C++ language for programming registers. It is not a good solution for K12, is good for university's students or engineers.<br>
2. But we have a lot of <strong>free IDEs</strong> for learning easly and working efficiently. Like Arduino IDE, and <a href="http://energia.nu/" target="_blank">Energia IDE</a>.<br>
These are using a simplefied C language, based on wiring, and they are good solution for K12's students.<br>
3. Now <strong>we can do devices and we can program their MCU'</strong>s, but if we can't visualise data, students can see only numbers.<br>
<br>
The <a href="http://www.ni.com/labview/" target="_blank">LabVIEW</a> is developed by engineers and uses a graphical programming language. 
Students can quickly understand, what happens in a circuit or in our tools.<br>
They can use a <a href="http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/hu/nid/210866" target="_blank">LabVIEW's Student Edition version</a>, witch is free for 6 month.<br>
<br>
<strong>How do you think your implementation will improve teaching and learning (the pedagogical basis)?</strong><br>
<br>
Teachers can adapt my learning and experimenting resources into their curriculum.<br>
For example if a teacher has a class about analog signals, or sensors, he can go to my website and he gets a <a href="http://eskolar.com/apa/index.php/Tutorial" target="_blank">completely built exciting experiment</a> with all materials, like videos, source codes. <br>
With the <strong>apaBoard</strong> and <strong>MyBox</strong> and their online resources the preparation for a class is shorter. <br>
Each student has 1:1 device and the student can start the learning process from everywhere: for example <strong>somebody wants</strong> to build a<strong> sound recorder</strong>, or a heat sensor, or a <strong>moving car</strong>, even an <strong>eggbot</strong>.<br>
<br>
<strong>The learning process is based on building a good device and the student learns the electronics by constructing something.</strong><br>
<br>
<strong>What is the biggest challenge you expect to encounter regarding implementation? </strong><br>
<br>
The biggest challenge was that I have to spend a lot of time to learn a lot of softwares which I use everyday.<br>
Now I have a solid background which helps me in design, communication, resource management system. I use:<br>
<strong><a href="http://www.kicad-pcb.org/display/KICAD/KiCad+EDA+Software+Suite" target="_blank">Kicad</a>,  <a href="http://www.keil.com/" target="_blank">Keil</a>/CCS, LabVIEW, <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki" target="_blank">MediaWiki</a> content management system, <a href="http://www.sketchup.com/" target="_blank">SketchUp</a>, LibbreOffice, <a href="https://creative.adobe.com/products/fireworks" target="_blank">FireWorks</a>, Inkscape, <a href="https://www.lwks.com/" target="_blank">LightWorks</a></strong> and now I'm interested in learning to use <strong>Moodle</strong>.<br>

    <td class="text">The most important barriers:<br />- <strong>Teachers payment.</strong> Teachers are very oveloaded, they have a lot of extra work. They are underpaid, an average Hungarian teacher salary in 550 USD (490&euro;) / month. Most of the teachers have private classes or private works.<br />- <strong>Curriculum</strong>. Curriculum is Hungarian state-schools is strict regulated. Most of the teachers use behaviouristical, linear methods to teach. The introduction of new technologies are very centralized by state and implementation is very challenging.<br />- <strong>Fundings</strong>. Aquisition is very centralised driven by state. Only a few of schools or districts may have own funds for paying for new implementations (FLL conferece Debrecen, 2014)</p>
<p><strong>Teachers workday is full with tasks </strong>so it is challenging for them to learn new technologies. While they are underpaied their motivation is challenging to be maintained. Most of them don&rsquo;t want to diverge from curriculum.</p>
<p><strong>Solutions</strong>:</p>
<p>1. I offer a <strong>very strong educational support</strong> to my tool, apaBoard (like what <strong>Susan Russo</strong> says about <a href="http://elements4d.daqri.com/#lessons" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Elements 4D</a>. &ldquo;The website comes with all different kinds of lesson plans&rdquo;)<br />&ndash; I made <a href="http://eskolar.com/apa/index.php/Bemutat%C3%B3" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">lesson plans</a> (<a href="http://eskolar.com/apa/index.php/Motor" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">enriched with videos, multimedias, animations</a>) which can be implemented into curriculum. <strong>I save time for preparing experiments</strong> and materials.<br />&ndash; It doesn&rsquo;t need much time to training. It can be implemented in Hungarian infrastructure. The good part of the centralized development is that in most of the schools we have the infrastructure for the basic implementation &ndash; network, bandwidth, pc.-s, wi-fi, smart boards.</p>
<p>2. I must fully integrate into the existing curriculum so teachers wouldn&rsquo;t have to make changes into curriculum. For example a teacher can download and use step-by-step fully developed lesson plans.</p>
<p>3. As funding is a great problem I have to introduce a freemium service. I am trying to gather funds to manufacture couple of hundred of apaboards and myboxes. Teachers who want to be involved into using my tool will have a short (3-4 wekks) <a href="https://moodle.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Moodle</a> course and will get a device and support for free test-year and usage before they would introduce in a school. After a year of testing I suppose that those who remains in the group would be able to use successfully.</p>
<p><strong>Summarising:</strong></p>
<p>I&rsquo;ve been developing, testing, using, teaching with my tool for about two years. There are some similar developments mostly in USA which strengthen me that this way is not a bad one.<br />If we can motivate students they will be successful using high tech tools. Nowadays the world need successful engineers.</p>
<p>Teachers don&rsquo;t have to make long curves in their everyday work. They introduce the tool and their role are facilitator, to help the students build what they want.</p>
<p>Here is a short video about how apaBoard works in real life.

<p><strong>1. Why am I evaluating?</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>There are many different reasons to evaluate a program.<br />apaBoard basically is a device to learn electronics. Is is useful in educational environment but it is not limited to use only in schools so we have to divide the evaluation in two directions.</p>
<p>In both these situations I want to know:<br /><strong>A STUDENT HOW EFFICIENT AND DEEP HAS LEARNED AN ELECTRICAL TOPIC</strong> in which he was interested?</p>
<p><strong>Evaluation for self-teaching students or groups</strong><br />- with online tests or quizes the evaluation can be done (Moodle)</p>
<p><strong>Evaluation in schools</strong></p>
<p>I want to evaluate for several <strong>reasons</strong>:<br />- I want to know exactly what are the most common devices students nowadays want to build<br />- this<strong> determines the development of new, extended modular system</strong><br />- I want to make as <strong>low cost</strong> as it is possible (to keep the basic version at around 50 USD) &ndash; the evaluation helps me in determining which modules are less or more used<br />- How can a <strong>teacher use in curriculum</strong>, which were the main issues for the teacher<br />- <strong>How helpful was in lessons which are hard to teach?</strong></p>
<p><strong>2. Tell us about your vision of success for the implementation.</strong></p>
<p>I have 6 to 10 anchors to curriculum (like resistance, capacitance, inductance, data acquisition, data display,<br />boolean math, input-output-feedback, current, voltage, electrical circuit, frequency-sound)<br />I an ideal situation in the curriculum for each of these class can be implemented an experiment with the apaBoard.</p>
<p><strong>3. Generate questions that will guide the evaluation.<br /></strong><br />For example teaching current and voltage in a group with apaBoard and a group without:<br />Practical questions quiz after the class for both group like:<br />- is this circuit a: current divider? b: voltage divider, c: both, d: don&rsquo;t know?<br />- is this a resistor? a: yes, no, don&rsquo;t know<br />- is this a capacitor? &hellip;&hellip;..</p>
<p>This questions quiz would be repeated after two month.</p>
<p><strong>General questions at start:</strong><br />- field of interest?<br />- what do you want to build? : car, robot, sensing machine, solar devices, home devices<br />- describe what do you want to develop.</p>
<p><strong>These questions at end in a different but in a concrete manner:</strong><br />- can You drive a motor?<br />- can you build a light sensor?<br />- etc.</p>
<p><strong>The communication of results</strong> are useful in future developments both for the device, the educational technology based resources videos, multimedia.<br />Results like winners on competitions can motivate other teachers and students to participate in the program.<br />These results will be communicated to stakeholders on printed flyers and online.</p>
<p><strong>Flyers</strong> for introduction of the apaBoard.

<p>I have got a great inspiration from Stacey Allen&rsquo;s Rubric to Determine Readiness for 1:1 Implementation. Thank You Stacey Allen.<br />I&rsquo;ve gathered my viewpoints and questions but my problem was that <strong>I dind&rsquo;t feel the weight of a question</strong> in the evaluation process.

<p>You know I had talked with more then one hundred teachers, more than one thousand students, I know what they want, and what I want.<br />I know the problems, but how much weights a problem in the solution? This is what I<br />can&rsquo;t see.<br />So I tried with <a title="spreadsheet" href="https://ie.edtechx.org/blog/forums/topic/apaboard-finish-ready-for-implementation/ASSIGNMENT_2_1_spreadsheet.ods" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">a LibreOffice spreadsheet</a> to make some charts to see the <strong>relative weight of a problem</strong> in the readiness of introduction of my apaBoard.<br />And this was a pitch. I have added some values to the answers and these values can show the problems weight.</p>
<p>In the next step I want that a school leader can use my selector tool to see whether the school is ready for implementation.<br />I asked help to apply this concept in a javascript programmed online HTML5 tool.</p>

<p>The most important problem isn&rsquo;t the development and the technology but the attitude of teachers and the environment (Justin Reich, Jeff Mao). I am taking into consideration the general situation adopted to the specifical Hungarian state. My development can be used generally in learning electronics, informatics and physics.

    <td class="text"> The most important barriers:<br />- Teachers payment<br />- Curriculum.<br />- Fundings.<br />Teachers workday is full with tasks.</p>
<p>Solutions:</p>
<p>- I offer a <strong>very strong educational support</strong> to my tool, apaBoard (like what <strong>Susan Russo</strong> says about <a href="http://elements4d.daqri.com/#lessons" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Elements 4D</a>. &ldquo;The website comes with all different kinds of lesson plans&rdquo;)<br />&ndash; I made <a href="http://eskolar.com/apa/index.php/Bemutat%C3%B3" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">lesson plans</a> (<a href="http://eskolar.com/apa/index.php/Motor" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">enriched with videos, multimedias, animations</a>) which can be implemented into curriculum. <strong>I save time for preparing experiments</strong> and materials.</p>
<p>- I save time for preparing experiments<br />- I must fully integrate into the existing curriculum<br />- As funding is a great problem I have to introduce a freemium service.</p>
<p>Teachers don&rsquo;t have to make long curves in their everyday work. They introduce the tool and their role are facilitator, to help the students build what they want.</p>
<p>Here is a short video about how apaBoard works in real life.

<p><strong>A STUDENT HOW EFFICIENT AND DEEP HAS LEARNED AN ELECTRICAL TOPIC</strong> in which he was interested?</p>
<p><strong>Evaluation for self-teaching students or groups</strong><br />- with online tests or quizes the evaluation can be done (Moodle)</p>
<p><strong>Evaluation in schools</strong></p>
<p>I want to evaluate for several <strong>reasons</strong>:<br />- I want to know exactly what are the most common devices students nowadays want to build<br />- this<strong> determines the development of new, extended modular system</strong><br />- I want to make as <strong>low cost</strong> as it is possible (to keep the basic version at around 50 USD) &ndash; the evaluation helps me in determining which modules are less or more used<br />- How can a <strong>teacher use in curriculum</strong>, which were the main issues for the teacher<br />- <strong>How helpful was in lessons which are hard to teach?</strong></p>
<p>I&rsquo;ll continu to develop these online tools for evaluation.
