Description
In this interactive hands-on tutorial, we will elucidate the use of an ELN in physics lab courses from the lecturers and supervisors perspective. Together we will set up an ELN (here: eLabFTW) using open-source python scripts. User accounts will be created and grouped automatically, and all experiments will be predefined that give students – in a real-world lab course – a valuable tool at hand for structured acquisition of all data and metadata. We will further demonstrate (i) how tutors can efficiently access the preparation work of the students, (ii) how data is recorded in the ELN and accessed later in python-based data evaluation, and (iii) how data can be combined in order to allow for novel insights or experiments.
