Abstract
A new concept of teaching and training the ISO GPS system fundamental and advanced principles with use of computer simulations, as well as animations at a very large extend is shown. The innovative application Geometrical Tolerancing structure, main components and key capabilities are demonstrated and discussed through a few screen shoots. It is indicated that application is suitable for open distance learning. The short analysis of the educational theories and other approaches that were considered to form background of the application are also given.
Zusammenfassung
Für den Einsatz des ISO GPS Konzepts (GPS: Geometrical product specification and verification) ist theoretische Schulung und praktisches Training in den grundlegenden Prinzipien erforderlich. Dafür wurde ein neues auf Erkenntnissen für die Gestaltung von ODL-Lehreinheiten (ODL: Open Distance Learning) aufbauendes Konzept erforscht, welches u. a. auch zahlreiche Animationen beinhaltet, welche das Verständnis einer vorliegenden Tolerierung eines Bauteils signifikant verbessern. Weiterhin baut das Konzept auf Theorien der Wissensvermittlung und auf Lerntheorien, welche den wissenschaftlichen Hintergrund für die vorgestellte Arbeit bilden. Die Ergebnisse mit den wesentlichen Modulen und wichtigen Leistungsmerkmalen werden dargelegt und an Hand von mehreren Bildschirmausdrucken erläutert.
