Presentation of the JANUS Project in Polytechnic University of Marche
On September 28-30, 2022, the results of the JANUS project were presented to students at the Polytechnic University of Marche, Italy.
The possibilities of using blended education were described and the concept of synchronous and asynchronous teaching of robotics-related issues was presented.
Virtual reality with robotic workstations, designed to support the education process, was shown.
The robotic stations are located in the laboratories of the Rzeszów University of Technology and the University of Turin.
The possibilities of self-development of their knowledge by students with the use of created virtual reality supported by online tests were also discussed.

Presentation of the JANUS Project at the University of Ljubljana
September 16th, 2022, the JANUS project was presented to teachers, researchers and PHD students of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Ljubljana.
At the meeting, the objectives of the JANUS project were presented and solutions developed in the frame of the project that may support the didactic process. The possibilities of using virtual reality in teaching robotics were explained.
The participants of the meeting had the opportunity to see how the developed virtual reality is used in the process of synchronous and asynchronous teaching at the Rzeszów University of Technology and the University of Turin.
Two examples of robots are shown: an industrial robot and collaborative robots.
It was also discussed how learning analytics can be used in blended learning.
