Abstract

The rapid development of science and technology sets high demands for schools and faculties in terms of educating students to be able to manage complex technological systems. On the other hand, the application of new technologies in modern industry requires the creation of real and virtual laboratories capable of producing the conditions for the rapid and reliable transfer of new knowledge and skills from teachers to students. Having this in mind, the main focus of this paper is the realization of a module as a combination of virtual and real learning systems. The advantage of these systems is reflected in a possibility of creating virtual laboratories using three-dimensional models that simulate real industrial systems. Research shows that the use of virtual didactic systems in modern education increases motivation for learning, reduces learning time and enables modelling and simulation of real systems. However, in order to improve professional competencies, an interaction of simulation models with real industrial systems is needed.
