OER Summary
This OER is based on Moodle activities that are used for implementing active learning strategies
such as a Flipped Classroom using out of class videos. We have develop a Concept Map for our
course along which the teaching plan for the semester has been developed.
Target Audience: Final year mechanical engineering students Tags: Concept Map, Instruction Strategy, Evaluation Techniques OER link: https://mohankumarayyasamy.wordpress.com/ OER developed in Moodle Version 3.0 Moodle link: https://mohankumarayyasamy.moodlecloud.com/course/view.php?id=4

Selection of Subject
For our OER activity we have chosen the subject Industrial Robotics. This subject is being offered
for the students to enhance the concepts behind that.
The subject is interdisciplinary in nature, since it draws upon knowledge from mechanical,
electronics and computer science engineering.
Interdisciplinary subjects often pose problems to instructors since topics involved are from varied
domains. Moreover this subject is hands on course and laboratory sessions require microcontroller
programming and interfacing and use of robot simulation software such as Robot Studio etc.
This course is designed to give the student an in depth understanding of manipulative robotics
and its uses. It covers the following course material.
Automation types, introduction to industrial robotics, end effectors. robot history,
populations and main uses, Profitability of robot usage. Robotics simulation using
Workspace LT. Kinematics of multi-degree-of-freedom systems. Jacobean matrices,
kinematics and dynamics. Robot trajectories. Anatomy of an industrial robot.

Concept Map
A concept map is a diagram that depicts suggested relationships between concepts. It is a
graphical tool used for organizing and representing knowledge. It was developed by Prof Joseph
Novak of Cornell University.
The concept map for our subject Industrial Robotics is given below.

The advantage of using concept map when preparing the teaching plan and content is as follows;
it helped to represent the relationships between various interdisciplinary subjects accurately
it helped to decide the hierarchy of topics
it allowed to mobilize and deploy resources effectively

Course Content
The syllabus covered the following topics;
1) Introduction to Industrial Robotics
2) Sensors and Actuators
3) Kinematics of Industrial Robots
4) Manipulator Dynamics
5) Robot Control Techniques
6) Path Planning
7) Machine Vision
8) Applications
We have created the course content in our local moodle server but since that will not be accessible
from outside the network we have upload contents form two topics as sample on
moodlecloud.com.

Instructional Strategies
Various instructional strategies have been chosen for implementing course. The course is
information intensive and the knowledge draws upon several subjects within mechanical and
electronics engineering. Most of the activity covered in moodle and the regular class cover the
levels of Recall, Understand and Apply and Analyze of Blooms Taxonomy. One final assignment is
meant to cover the final levels of Evaluate and Create of Blooms Taxonomy. These are as follows
1) Traditional chalk and talk with blackboard
2) Flipped Classroom with TPS & PI
3) Other Moodle Based Activities
Evaluation Strategies
1) Formative – Quiz, Assignments These assessment techniques are mainly to assess students understanding at recall and
understand level. 2) Summative – Numerical Problems, Oral exams, Seminar, Mini Project
These assessment techniques are to assess students learning at apply, analyse and
create levels

2. Tool Exploration and Implementation
For implementing the curriculum a LMS was required and we decided to go with moodle since it is
the most flexible and versatile of all the platforms. Moreover moodle is open source and is available
free of cost.
The server installation and course creation in moodle was a time consuming task and it took the
team a total of 10 hours to create the course in moodle.

4. Evaluating Effectives of OER
To measure the impact of moodle based learning on student’s engagement we created a 5 point
Likerts’s scale survey questionnaire. The survey was administered to the 30 participating students.
There were five questions having target statements as follows:
a) Q1: Did activity help me achieve greater understanding of the concerned topic.
b) Q2: Moodle activity helped me communicate with my colleagues better.
c) Q3: Moodle activity improved by ability to solve problems independently.
d) Q4: Moodle activity improved by ability to work in a team.
e) Q5: Moodle helped me improve my examination scores.
The results of the survey revealed almost all students had a very favorable experience. 95% of the
students strongly agreed that the activity resulted in increasing their knowledge about the topics
discussed over the two weeks. A vast majority of the students said that they activity resulted in
improving their communication and team skills. Only 4 students said that they would not
recommend this activity to others and that they were comfortable with the traditional way.
Overall it can be concluded that there was high student engagement but it is too early to draw
conclusions since it is the beginning of the semester and the findings are for the first two weeks of
the course. Also, the effectiveness on final examination scores can only be determined at the end
of the semester.
