Sending computer assisted demonstration measurements results to mobile devices and their individual processing

All Slovenian grammar schools and many upper and lower secondary schools are equipped by Vernier in order to perform computer assisted measurements. The current situation allows demonstrating experiments as well as a frontal display of the processing of measured values and group work. Schools usually have four to eight working units where students are able to perform measurements and the processing of measurement results in class. If we expect students to process the measurement data on their own, we frequently send them the measurement data (via e-mail, virtual classroom etc.) and then students use their own computers at home to process the data. Using mobile devices in class (laptops, tablets, »smartphones« etc.) enables students to process the data gathered by the experiments immediately after the experiment was carried out. We are going to present the possibilities offered by Vernier and LoggerPro programme. First the presentation will focus on different options which allow the connection between mobile devices and the measurement system bearing in mind the security risks. Then the participants will connect their mobile devices with the measurement system. They will receive the demonstration measurements results to their mobile device and will use them.
