This document discusses the evolution of technology in education from physical labs to virtual labs. Earlier, most experiments were done in physical labs within educational institutions, which had limited accessibility. Computer-based training (CBT) provided graphical representations but lacked interactivity. Modern virtual labs like PhET use simulations with JavaScript and HTML5 to model scientific concepts, allowing students to experiment freely across devices. Virtual labs make learning more game-like and help reinforce ideas through repeated practice of simulations with known outcomes. They are becoming more popular and accessible than physical labs for supporting science education.
The document discusses platforms and quality assurance in eLearning at the Technical University of Crete. It provides an overview of the university and the MUSIC lab, their research areas including multimedia management systems and eLearning platforms. It then summarizes several European projects conducted by MUSIC related to digital libraries, personalization and interoperability in eLearning. Finally, it presents the iQTool project which developed a quality assurance methodology and open source tool for evaluating training materials.

Mechatronics and robotics as motivational tools in remote laboratories (EDUCO...German Carro Fernandez
In the present times of crisis training is essential, and with that all disciplines that are looking to upgrade knowledge and to allow workers to increase their skills to find a job, improve where they already have or start a freelance career. Regarding engineering disciplines this is even more important owing to the speed at which new technologies are developed and because competition is not only in the products themselves, but
also within knowledge and adaptability. This paper shows how the use of mechatronics and robotics in distance education can be a motivational tool to promote retraining of people of different ages (students, workers, students-workers, the unemployed) who with minimal training in engineering want to boost their careers or start new ones.

Flexibility of wireless technologies in learning in robotic laboratoriesGerman Carro Fernandez
This document discusses the flexibility and benefits of wireless technologies in learning environments like robotic laboratories. It argues that wireless connections can improve safety by avoiding injuries from wires, increase efficiency by reducing distractions, and lower costs by eliminating the need to install wires. Wireless also allows students more autonomy by removing range limitations of wires. While wireless introduces some security risks, these are minimal in educational settings focused on learning. The document examines different wireless options and their advantages for motivating students and increasing flexibility.
Learn how enterprises can train their technical specialists to work with measurement instruments, enhancing their skills from basic to advanced, using the virual reality (remote control of the real equipment via Internet and virtual simulators).
This 3 page document provides an overview and specifications for equipment that can be used to build an electrical power and machines laboratory. It includes a table of contents and descriptions of equipment such as a Magnetics and Electromagnetics Trainer, Power and Machines Lab setup, and components covering topics like transformers, motors, generators, and control systems. Floor plans and layout suggestions are also provided, with the goal of offering a flexible, scaleable solution for hands-on teaching of electrical power and machines curriculum.
Conventional to virtual laboratory in vocational educationBernardus Sentot
This document discusses moving from conventional vocational education laboratories to virtual laboratories. It notes that while conventional labs are very expensive to operate and maintain, virtual labs can provide cost savings, increased safety since students are using computer simulations rather than real machines, and greater flexibility of access since students can access the virtual labs anywhere via the internet rather than being restricted to physical lab hours and locations. The document provides examples of how virtual CNC labs can simulate operating real CNC machines at low cost compared to maintaining a full conventional CNC lab.
This document discusses remote laboratories and their use for teaching and learning. It provides examples of remote labs both on and outside a university campus that allow students to conduct experiments online. Challenges of implementing remote labs include different technologies used, network security, and ensuring teacher training and technical support. Evaluation of a project providing online access to engineering labs found it improved student interaction with teachers and peers as well as the learning process. Remote labs can complement but not replace real labs when used appropriately.

Integration of an e-learning Platform and a Remote Laboratory for the Experim...Federico Lerro
Nowadays, it is more common to use both
systems, a Learning Management System (LMS) and a
remote laboratory, independently. However, we understand
it is highly convenient for the students to have access and
perform real experimental practices in remote laboratories
from a LMS. This integration of both educational resources
constitutes one objective of a project developed by a joint
venture company-university: a technology company (“educativa”)
and a public university (UNR). The project is
based on the addition to the “Virtual Campus LMS”,
developed by “e-ducativa”, of a function that allows the
access and control, via Internet, to the “Remote Laboratory
of Electronic Physics” located in the university
headquarters. Technology is basically a self-communication
protocol that allows exchanging data in a standardized way
between the LMS software and the device control connected
to the remote equipment. The project includes the
implementation of an interface that allows the users of the elearning
platform to have access to it and to future
developments of remote laboratories. In this paper the
authors describe the technical implementation of the project
and provide educational criteria in order to integrate the
new development into the electronic engineering
curriculum.

The document discusses the creation of an Adaptive Technology Laboratory at a university to help students with disabilities access computers. It outlines problems such as a lack of accommodations for students with disabilities. The laboratory provides solutions like ergonomic workstations, alternative input devices, and software that allows for text magnification. The laboratory helps students gain independence and improves their university experience and future employment prospects.
Labicom is virtualizing real instruments in order to train engineers (newcomers, graduates) how to utilize devices, test their advanced skills, and further to help with their certification.
By virtualization we mean development of a browser-based web-application 1) of remote control of T&M instruments via Internet or local network, and 2) of virtual instruments (not connected to the real ones, similar to simulators for pilots).
Trainee does not need to instal any programs and plugins, opens ports, provides difficult actions, but just need internet/local network. Trainee gets access to remote instruments via a browser (via our Learning Management System) and sees the interface of devices on his computer (web interfaces completely copy interfaces of real instruments). Remote controlling is made by knobs on the device interface or touchscreen (if applicable, e.g. analyzers, o-scopes) with a mouse or fingers on touchpad (at this we even realized features of multitouch – drag, pinch, zoom in/out. Signals are sent to the real instrument, as if a trainee is set near the instrument and control it by hand, while equipment may be located thousands miles away. In its turn (thanks to our lab server and technology) all the data generated by the instrument is transferred to the user’s browser, displaying in the same way as on the real device. Real-time video stream of the real equipment allows trainee to assure that results on web interface of instruments are the same as on real instruments. Our technology allows only secure modes and parameter sets, so no equipment can be damadged.
In addition we develop virtual instruments, which are complete virtual copy of the real ones on a user’s laptop (instruments browser-based interface, real results of working with instruments), available to thousands of users simultaneously, as virtual devices are not connected to real ones. It allows scaling hands-on training with no limits.
We develop both remote control and virtual simulators as it allows step-by-step training of engineers, starting from acquiring basic skills and confidence while working with simulators, up to advanced skills and proof check of skills and results while controlling real equipment remotely.
Industry Training Technology proposes developing virtual simulators and providing remote access to real equipment via the internet in order to address the high costs of university labs, the skills gap between graduates and industry needs, and restrictions on student access to expensive or dangerous equipment. Their solution would offer scalable, affordable hands-on training for technical specialists using virtual copies of instruments and remote control of real setups from any internet-connected device. The company aims to partner with universities and industries globally to train the next generation of skilled engineers through their virtual and remote laboratory platform.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.

Time to evaluate some of the advantages
Comfort and safety
Students have freedom to adjust their training schedule
Laboratory is open 24 hours 7 days at week
Reusability
Teaching must be flexible and offer as many services as
possible to the students with the low possible cost
It is easy to implement a new remote laboratory in a short time
and at low cost, in the same place
Scalability
After examining the hardware and software to provide the initial
support, it just has to raise it in a modular way to ensure the
service proportionately in each case

One of the most important objectives of education, formation and
training, is that they become universal
System is not an exclusive tool. It can complement the traditional
system face to face.
Student gets experience reflected in the real practice in remote ,
but in real environments.
It is essential for their motivation and integration into the
workplace, or labor market and to jump to real world.

Using robotics as an excuse to make engineering a source of
practical knowledge.
This is only the beginning, once the students get involved with the
system, they begin to seek new profits, and that will be the real
beginning of training and learning process.
