LEaRN ? LEgo Robot and Netlogo

This paper presents a framework that can be used in classroom in order to improve current teaching methods and motivate students by adopting a more interactive approach in teaching and learning process. Proposed framework provides a combination of simulated environment and real physical robot, both often used in classroom but rarely at the same time. An overview of the architecture of proposed framework is given. To test the effectiveness of the proposed framework, experimental study was conducted by using the framework in a single college course during one semester. Additionally, obtained observations and conclusions along with potential future work are discussed as well.
