- Large and small scale networks of remote labs: a surveyPublication . Alves, Gustavo R.; Alves, Gustavo; Gericota, Manuel G.; Gericota, Manuel; Silva, Juarez B.; Alves, João BoscoThe advantages of networking are widely known in many areas, i.e. from business to personal areas. Another area where networks have proved their benefits is education. Taking the Higher Education level into consideration, it is easy to find many successful and fruitful examples of networks both in the long and short past. More recently, the advent and wide use of the Internet has brought an all new range of opportunities not only to the sustain and expansion of existing networks but also to the creation of new ones. We consider the boom effect the Internet had on educational networks, and the emergence of a new educational resource known as remote experimentation to explain the recent appearance of a new type of network, i.e. remote experimentation networks. After introducing the basic building blocks for this network type, we describe how small and large scale networks of remote labs have been forming actively, since the last decade, and present some illustrative examples. In the conclusion we consider new directions for these networks.
- Mobile Experimentation: closing an educational gap for new student generations?Publication . Alves, Gustavo R.; Alves, Gustavo; Costa, Ricardo; BackerThe M-learning concept is a consequence of mobile technology evolution, i.e. the appearance of devices like Personal Digital Assistants, smart phones and mobile phones with improved features, namely Java support. It is in the same line of E-learning versus Personal Computers and therefore the counterpart of one E-learning subset, named Remote Experimentation, within Mlearning, could be designed as Mobile Experimentation. Remote Experimentation is traditionally regarded as the remote access to real-world experiments through a simple web browser running on a PC connected to the Internet, while Mobile Experimentation may be seen as the access to those same (or others) experiments, through mobile devices, used in M-learning contexts. The emergence of two distinct client types (PCs versus mobile devices) creates new requirements for the remote lab infrastructure, namely the ability to tune the experiment interface according to the characteristics (e.g. display size) of the accessing device. This paper proposes a new architecture for the remote lab infrastructure, namely for the software layer to be based in Java and XML, able to accommodate both Remote and Mobile Experimentation scenarios, this last one being especially important for new student generations keen on mobile technology.
- VISIR Handbook - Analog Electronics with the VISIR Remote Lab: Real Online ExperimentsPublication . Alves, Gustavo; Unai; Garcia-Zubia, Javier[Preface] Remote experimentation and remote experiments have been around for more than 25 years, being commonly used in universities and other edu-cational institutions. A remote experiment is a real experiment in which the learner is not at the same location of the experiment and the interaction is mediated by the Internet. A remote experiment is a learning tool and its main characteristics are scalability, sustainability, educational quality, and equity. The VISIR Handbook focuses on one particular remote laboratory: Virtual Instruments Systems In Reality (VISIR), which is undoubtedly the best remote laboratory, the most widely used and deployed in more institutions other than the one that developed it, the Blekinge Tekniska Högskola (BTH). This book is a detailed guide to its qualities and capabilities so the reader can get to know it if he or she does not have one or exploit it in depth if he or she already has one. VISIR is almost 25 years old now (1999–2023). It was designed by Professor Ingvar Gustavsson and it focuses on electrical and electronic circuits: assembling, measuring, and analyzing circuits created with real components and wires. From the beginning, Professor Gustavsson shared the design with the academic community. As a result, VISIR is now avail-able in 12 countries and its design and capabilities continue to improve. This book is a compendium of everything that has been developed around the VISIR laboratory, both from a technical and didactic point of view.
