Interactive Learning Modules for Control Understanding feedback fundamentals through PID control using interactivity properties

The ability to change properties and immediately see the effects is powerful for both learning and design in the automatic control field [1], [2]. Changing graphics provides additional information which is not available when you see only static plots. This feature, which is known as interactivity, enhances the users’ motivation through a more participating activity. In the sense of interactive tools (IT), interactivity can be defined as a collection of graphical windows whose components are active, dynamic, and can be manipulated with the mouse. The use of interactive and instructional graphics tools reinforces the active participation of the user [3], [4].
