Open educational resources and competences related with practices and laboratories

A fundamental strength of many engineering courses is engaging students to foster the connection between theories and their appropriate practical applications. The objective of this special session within the 13 International Conference on Remote Engineering and Virtual Instrumentation (REV 2016) is to provide a forum to discuss about experiences in learning and teaching Open Educational Resources (OERs) and Competences related with Practices / Laboratories. Following milestones of main conference, this special session aims to stimulate also an open discussion and a reflection of experience in the use of innovative experiments in engineering education.
