Mapping VISIR Circuits for Computer-assisted Assessment

Virtual Instrument Systems in Reality (VISIR) is a remote laboratory for electrical circuits currently used worldwide. Work is in progress to develop a functional learning analytics tool, the VISIR dashboard (VISIR-DB), that may be useful to instructors and researchers. Explaining what a VISIR circuit is and how to map different circuits that share the same experimental goal is therefore key. This paper presents the issue of circuit identification in VISIR and proposes some algorithms to organize the different experiments users can perform.
