Remote experiments are currently being performed on mobile devices. The intention of combining mobility and remote experimentation is to minimize the space-time barrier, providing students with faster access to information to continue their technology and engineering studies. The architecture of the technologies presented in this paper has been implemented based on the integration of a learning ma... View full abstract»

Bachelor and master's qualifications include assignments that involve the preparation of final projects. Their underlying pedagogical model is often based on final or end-of-course projects, which carry a high number of ECTS credits (12 or more), to be completed over one semester. Each project, which simulates a real life professional situation, is completed by an individual student or a group of ... View full abstract»

The activities associated with learner generated content are supposed to enhance the learning process, facilitating the construction of knowledge. In this paper, the description of the process of creation of learning content is addressed. A group of students in the first year of an engineering degree collaboratively constructs a blog that covers the real-life applications of the physical concepts ... View full abstract»

The Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia has been collaborating with Utah Valley University creating online videoconferences held at both the universities. This project intended to promote an autonomous learning and improve the structure of videoconferences, thus helping students to enhance their foreign language competence. Every participant had to assess their own teaching persp... View full abstract»

This paper presents a low-cost proposal for the development of a remote laboratory, offering the possibility of providing to learn in the field of robotics for users with no need to be physically in the laboratory, or simply not having to take the robotic platform to reprogram it. It also gives the option of working with the same platform to a group of users to test their algorithms by turns. The ... View full abstract»

This paper describes a project-based learning case example developed at the University of Lleida, Spain. This proposal was addressed to third-year engineering students and combines knowledge from computer vision and robotic control to complete an automation project task. The learning target was to develop a computer vision system that must detect a small object placed randomly on a target surface ... View full abstract»

The platform contains a functions generator, a multichannel oscilloscope, and a spectrum analyser. A preparatory virtual laboratory is available to the students in addition to the traditional one so that they are encouraged not just to follow the theory but to try some practical exercises. In this way practical sessions in laboratories developed during the academic year can be supplemented by elec... View full abstract»
