Design options for online teaching in the assembly of flexible materials

Abstract

This paper presents an experience report on the implementation of online teaching and a concrete task during the COVID semester in 2020 and 2021. The assembly of flexible materials involves many manual operations, which until now could be performed by the students themselves during the practical courses. Shown are two tasks for online support of teaching by programming 3D visualisation of stitch types and documentation of assembly operations by video or series of images and texts. The experience showed that these visualisation variants can reduce the staff input a little, but require carrying a playback device (tablet) from each student during the practical. The experiences from the two tasks will also be used for the future to offer the students more independent tasks.
