Abstract

Mr. Robinson has spent ample time developing a hybrid learning course for Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC). This course includes teaching from Festo's Mindsight system, which is an online portal that is made available to users of Festo training equipment and their students. This online portal enables students to virtually attend classes, observe lectures online, perform exercises online, and to even program the PLCs themselves from their laptop (as long as they have high speed internet).
