- Una Federación de Laboratorios Remotos VISIR a través del Proyecto PILARPublication . Kulesza, Wlodek J.; Gustavsson, Ingvar; Marques, M. Arcelina; Alves, Gustavo R.; Fidalgo, André V.; Hernandéz-Jayo, Unai; García-Zubía, Javier; Kreiter, Christian; Oros, Ramona; Pester, Andreas; Zutin, Danilo G.; Auer, Michael E.; García-Hernandéz, Carla; Tavío-Gallo, Ricardo; Savela, Marjo; García-Loro, Felix; Aroca, Alejandro M.; Cristobal-Ruiz, Elio San; Díaz, GabrielEste documento describe cómo un nuevo proyecto Erasmus+, PILAR (Plataform Integration of Laboratories base don the Architecture of visiR), está siendo desarrollado y cómo la puesta en marcha del partenariado y del proyecto está reforzando la red VISIR (Virtual Instrument Systems in Reality) y el Grupo de Interés Especial de VISIR bajo el Consorcio de Laboratorios online (GOLC - Global Online Laboratory Consortium) de la Asociación Internacional de Ingeniería Online (IAOE - International Association of Online Engineering. La Universidad Española para la Educación a Distancia (UNED) coordina este proyecto que tiene como objetivo federar los sistemas existentes (o nuevos) con el fin de utilizar los recursos de manera más efectiva y eficiente, haciendo transparente para el usuario final la elección de los recursos compartidos.
- VISIR deployment in undergraduate engineering practicesPublication . Tawfik, Mohamed; Sancristobal, Elio; Martín, Sergio; Gil, Charo; Pesquera, Alberto; Losada, Pablo; Díaz, Gabriel; Peire, Juan; Castro, Manuel; Garcia-Zúbia, Javier; Hernandez, U.; Orduña, Pablo; Angulo, Ignacio; Costa-Lobo, Cristina; Marques, Maria A.; Viegas, C.; Alves, Gustavo R.Practical sessions are the backbone of qualification in engineering education. It leads to a better understanding and allows mastering scientific concepts and theories. The lack of the availability of practical sessions at many universities and institutions owing to the cost and the unavailability of instructors the most of the time caused a significant decline in experimentation in engineering education over the last decades. Recently, with the progress of computer-based learning, remote laboratories have been proven to be the best alternative to the traditional ones, regarding to its low cost and ubiquity. Some universities have already started to deploy remote labs in their practical sessions. This contribution compiles diverse experiences based on the deployment of the remote laboratory, Virtual Instrument Systems in Reality (VISIR), on the practices of undergraduate engineering grades at various universities within the VISIR community. It aims to show the impact of its usage on engineering education concerning the assessments of students and teachers as well.
- VISIR: experiences and challengesPublication . Tawfik, Mohamed; Sancristobal, Elio; Martín, Sergio; Gil, Charo; Pesquera, Alberto; Losada, Pablo; Díaz, Gabriel; Peire, Juan; Castro, Manuel; Garcia-Zúbia, Javier; Hernandez, U.; Orduña, Pablo; Angulo, Ignacio; Costa-Lobo, Cristina; Marques, Maria A.; Viegas, C.; Alves, Gustavo R.It is of crucial importance the integration of practical sessions in engineering curricula owing to their significant role in understanding engineering concepts and scientific phenomena. However, the lack of practical sessions due to the high costs of the equipment and the unavailability of instructors has caused a significant declination in experimentation in engineering education. Remote laboratories have tackled this issues providing online reusable and shared workbenches unconstrained by neither geographical nor time considerations. Thereby, they have extremely proliferated among universities and integrated into engineering curricula over the last decade. This contribution compiles diverse experiences based on the deployment of the remote laboratory, Virtual Instrument Systems in Reality (VISIR), on the practices of undergraduate engineering grades at various universities within the VISIR community. It aims to show the impact of its usage on engineering education concerning the assessments of students and teachers as well. In addition, the paper address the next challenges and future works carried out at several universities within the VISIR community.
