Chemical Engineering Immersive Learning 01.11.2018 to 31.03.2022
General project description

Recent developments in immersive learning technologies are providing exciting new tools for teaching and training programmes, yet they remain underutilised in science & technology education, and nowhere is this more true than in the field of chemistry and chemical engineering.
CHARMING, the European Training Network for CHemicAl EngineeRing IMmersive LearnING, takes on this challenge by developing learning strategies, content and prototypes for the application of games and virtual/augmented reality for motivating, teaching and training children, students and employees in chemistry, chemical engineering and chemical operations. The inter-sectorial and interdisciplinary CHARMING ETN consists of leading universities and industry participants and trains 15 ESRs in the areas of innovative chemical engineering, instructional psychology & pedagogy and immersive technology.

TOP Support for collaborations 01.09.2015 to 01.02.2020
General project description

In the Internet of Things, people cannot only easily connect to other people, but also to all kinds of artefacts. This offers a wealth of possibilities for performing complex collaborations, such as a search and rescue operation executed by the Netherlands Coastguard, or handling the information streams around complex surgery in a hospital. We claim that using the Internet of Things, we can accomplish complex tasks in new, better, and more efficient ways. Developing software that supports such complex collaborations using the Internet is challenging, and requires input from different kinds of stakeholders: domain experts, designers, programmers, managers, and end-users. Task Oriented Programming (TOP) is a recent, innovative, paradigm and formalism for developing software supporting (soft) real-time collaborations on the Internet. Programmer productivity increases significantly when using TOP. In this project we design and develop a suite of TOP supporting analysis and modelling tools that can be used by all stakeholders. This suite of TOP tools helps to improve understanding of the way in which tasks are planned and performed, to improve operational support of tasks, to improve the tasks themselves, as well as to raise the level of awareness of people executing tasks.
