The core of cloud computing is to provide efficient computing resource sharing. In this paper, we have designed and implemented a virtual computer lab system using open source cloud computing infrastructure. The proposed virtual computer lab system can be used to reduce computer upgrade and maintenance cost significantly.

Mixed reality(MR) technology combines the advantages of virtual reality(VR) and augmented reality(AR) technology, allowing MR users to interact with virtual objects against the background of the real world. In addition, since virtual objects interact with the real world, users can experience a higher immersion. This study proposes electric circuit practical training content using Meta Quest Pro to produce immersive MR content based on reality. To this end, first, the development process for producing MR content by linking Meta Quest Pro equipment with the Unity 3D engine is organized. Then, based on the traditional electric circuit practical training method used in elementary school science classes, virtual electric circuit practical training content with the same training method and operation process is produced based on MR. Finally, survey experiments are conducted to analyze the presence and experience of the MR-based educational environment provided using the produced content. Through this, the usability of the proposed practical training content is evaluated and future research directions are suggested.

Recently there have been many Internet-based studies to provide personal users an efficient educational tool making use of multimedia data. The typical examples are remote education and virtual university where many educational trials on theory-based contents have been performed more frequently than those on experiment-based contents for engineering area. This paper describes about a base system implemented as an example of Internet-based experiment-oriented educations to establish cyber engineering laboratories for mechanics, electronics and chemistry. For the first time as a model of cyber engineering laboratories we herein Introduce in detail a server-and-client-based simulative method in which the result may be displayed on computer monitor of client PC while a simulator program is executed on the server. Secondly we introduce an interactive method in which the user of client PC may not only communicate directly with experiment server after initial connection with management server but also he can confirm the status of experiment being performed by way of video as well as experimental result.

The purpose of this study is to identify the effect of virtual reality simulation education and intend to present basic data that enables virtual reality simulation education to be used as practical education. Data were collected from April 26 to June 4, 2021 and analyzed by paired t-test, Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test, Spearman's correlation coefficient using IBM SPSS Statistics 25 program. The results of this study showed that critical thinking disposition, clinical competency, practice satisfaction was improved after virtual reality simulation education. And there were a positive correlation with each other. Virtual reality simulation education is considered a very effective teaching method for nursing students. It is necessary to develop and apply more diverse and systematic scenarios and practice programs in future research.

가상현실 기술은 다양한 유형으로 발전하고 있다. 해양경찰은 함정 조함 교육을 위해 두 가지 가상현실 환경에서 실습이 진행 중이다. 이 연구는 두 가지 가상 현실 환경에서 조함 교육효과가 어떻게 나타나는지 알기 위해 항해 위험성을 평가하고 분석하였다. 실물형은 데스크톱형보다 최근접거리가 더 길고, 대각도 타 사용 시간과 비상인지 시간이 더 길게 나타났다. 향후 해양경찰 함정 교육을 위한 최적의 가상현실 환경을 구축하고 확장하는데 기초자료로 활용할 예정이다.

Traditionally, the engineering field has been dominated by face-to-face education focused on experimental practice, but demand for online learning has soared due to the rapid development of IT technology and Internet communication networks and recent changes in the social environment such as COVID-19. In order for efficient online education to be conducted in the engineering field, where the proportion of experimental practice is relatively high compared to other fields, virtual laboratory practice content that can replace actual experimental practice is very necessary. In this study, we developed a line tracer model and a virtual experimental software to simulate it for efficient online learning of microprocessor applications that are essential not only in the electric and electronic field but also in the overall engineering field where IT convergence takes place. In the developed line tracer model, the user can set various hardware parameter values in the desired form and write the software in assembly language or C language to test the operation on the computer. The developed line tracer virtual experimental software has been used in actual classes to verify its operation, and is expected to be an efficient virtual experimental practice tool in online non-face-to-face classes.

Some studies require sufficient amount of time, spaces, and financial condition for practical exercises and training. In particular for the Medical education, time and space limitation is very high and difficulties occurs, since the practices are done with cadavers (deceased human body). Many alternate 3D Virtual surgery training system exist currently, however the burdensome of obtaining those costly equipments is problematic. Providing the surgical environment as similar to real as possible using 3D Virtual Reality can be a solution to current problems. The effectiveness of training could be maximized with minimized costs without the general interfaces such as keyboard and mouse, but with Oculus Rift and Leap Motion. This paper will develop and practice the 3D Virtual Operation System with two devices to investigate the possibility and expand to other Simulation fields.

Recently, there are increasing cases of managing software labs by assigning virtual PCs in the cloud instead of physical PCs to each student. In this paper, we design and implement a Linux-based software practice platform that allows students to efficiently build their environments in the cloud. In our platform, instructors can create and control virtual machine templates for all students at once, and students practice on their own machines as administrators. Instructors can also troubleshoot each machine and restore its state. Meanwhile, the biggest obstacle to implementing this approach is the difficulty of predicting the costs of cloud services instantly. To cope with this situation, we propose a model that can estimate the cost of cloud resources used. By using daemons in each user's virtual machine, we instantly estimate resource usage and costs. Although our model has very low overhead, the predicted results are very close to the actual resource usage measured by cloud service providers. To further validate our model, we used the proposed platform in a Linux practice lecture for a semester and confirmed that the proposed model is very accurate.

In this paper, a cloud computing platform is designed and implemented based on an open source cloud platform, OpenNebula, and Xen hypervisor on each node for efficient computer lab system. For the purpose of convenient management, a web-based user interface has been developed for the cloud virtualization system. Once individual virtual machine is allocated to a user based upon class schedule, each user can access the virtual machine remotely and use appropriate operating system and application programs. The developed system can reduce computer lab upgrade cost, management cost, and administration time considerably.

Currently, the lack of equipments for the medical practice and education made it impossible for the people in medical institution to carry out suitable experiments for observing human bodies .In this paper, the authors embodied three dimensional images and moving pictures for the human skeletal structure, digestive organs, cardiovascular system and their processes over the internet framework. The three dimensional images and moving picture made it possible for the general people as well as the specialists to observe and obtain informations with regard to the human body. Especially, the authors realized a framework for visualizing the human bodies in three dimensional images, via which a detailed and realistic architecture for the human body and its organs can be obtained. The system developed in this paper can be used in the practice and education of the people engaged in medical fields.
