- Acerca de la eficacia de VISIR como recurso en temas de electrónica circuital en ArgentinaPublication . Marchisio, Susana; Lerro, Federico; Merendino, Claudio; Plano, Miguel; Concari, Sonia B.; Arguedas, Carlos; García-Zubía, Javier; Hernández-Jayo, Unai; Alves, Gustavo R.“Virtual Instruments System in Reality” (VISIR) es una plataforma laboratorio de acceso remoto desarrollada en el Departamento de Ingeniería Electrónica del Instituto de Tecnología de Blekinge (BTH), Suecia. VISIR ha sido empleada y evaluada en varios países e instituciones en el mundo, reportándose en la bibliografía que la misma facilita el logro de resultados de aprendizaje en temas de electrónica analógica. El primer uso intensivo de VISIR por estudiantes en la Facultad de Ciencias Exactas, Ingeniería y Agrimensura (FCEIA), Universidad Nacional de Rosario (UNR) data de 2016. Dicha experiencia se llevó a cabo en la forma de caso de estudio en una asignatura de Ingeniería Electrónica (IE) que constituye el primer acercamiento a la electrónica de dispositivos y circuitos. El empleo de VISIR en el contexto curricular se propuso en forma complementaria al laboratorio tradicional, para la realización de una actividad de integración cuya solución requería del cálculo matemático y de la experimentación remota. Finalizada la experiencia se recabaron datos cuantitativos y cualitativos con el objetivo de evaluar la misma. En este trabajo se informan resultados que focalizan en la valoración por estudiantes y docentes de la eficacia de VISIR como recurso de aprendizaje en temas introductorios de la electrónica circuital.
- Cooperación internacional para el desarrollo y uso de laboratorios remotos para la enseñanza de la físicaPublication . Concari, Sonia Beatriz; Arguedas-Matarrita, Carlos; Marchisio, Susana Teresa; Lerro, Federico; Plano, Miguel Ángel; García Zúbia, Javier; Hernández Jayo, Unai; Silva, Juarez Bento Da; Alves, Gustavo R.Un laboratorio remoto es un recurso tecnológico que integra dos aspectos esenciales de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC): la experimentación real realizada a través de Internet, junto a software y hardware para la adquisición de datos y cálculo. Los laboratorios remotos constituyen un recurso didáctico relevante para la enseñanza de las ciencias experimentales, en particular de la Física. Si bien la existencia de laboratorios remotos ha evidenciado un importante crecimiento en los últimos años, las instituciones educativas que ya cuentan con estos recursos están localizadas principalmente en los países desarrollados de Europa mientras que, en Latinoamérica, solo seis países disponen de estos recursos para la enseñanza, siendo heterogéneo el grado de desarrollo y experiencia de los mismos. Un paso adicional en el desarrollo de estos recursos para la enseñanza a través de la experimentación es el de compartir los laboratorios remotos ya desarrollados permitiendo a la comunidad educativa de distintas instituciones, el acceso y uso de sus laboratorios remotos, de modo que un estudiante pueda hacer más experimentos y que un experimento pueda ser hecho por más estudiantes. En este trabajo se informa sobre experiencias en Argentina, Costa Rica y Brasil, devenidas de la cooperación entre instituciones educativas y organizaciones europeas y americanas, sobre desarrollo, acceso y uso compartido de laboratorios remotos para la enseñanza de temas de Física. Las actividades de cooperación posibilitaron la instalación de nuevos laboratorios y el uso compartido de otros. Como producto de ello, se desarrollaron acciones de capacitación de docentes y uso de los laboratorios remotos para la experimentación en cursos regulares de ciencias, ingeniería y de formación de profesores en los países mencionados.
- Improving the use of remote laboratories. The case of VISIR at Universidad Nacional de RosarioPublication . Lerro, Federico; Marchisio, Susana Teresa; Beatriz Concari, Sonia; Plano, Miguel Angel; Merendino, Claudio; de Arregui, Gaston Saez; Garcia-Zubia, Javier; Hernandez-Jayo, Unai; Alves, Gustavo R.The present work originates in the Project "Educational Modules for Electric and Electronic Circuits Theory and Practice following an Inquiry-based Teaching and Learning Methodology supported by VISIR", carried out with the support of the Erasmus+ Programme. Remote labs can provide a framework where physical experiments can be developed for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education. Although remote labs have been in use for over a decade now in several countries and levels of education, their use is not yet being generalized in Latin America. Through the VISIR+ International Cooperation Project from the Erasmus+ Programme, five higher education institutions from Latin America have incorporated de VISIR remote lab in order to carry out experiments with electric and electronic circuits. In the present work, the results of the study developed at Universidad Nacional de Rosario within the framework of the aforementioned project are shown.
- International Cooperation for Remote Laboratory UsePublication . Alves, Gustavo R.; Fidalgo, André; Marques, Maria Arcelina; Viegas, Clara; Felgueiras, Carlos; Costa, Ricardo J.; Lima, Natércia; Castro, Manuel; Díaz-Orueta, Gabriel; SanCristóbal-Ruiz, Elio; García-Loro, Felix; García-Zubía, Javier; Hernández-Jayo, Unai; Kulesza, Wlodek J.; Gustavsson, Ingvar; Nilsson, Kristian; Zackrisson, Johan; Pester, Andreas; Zutin, Danilo G.; Schlichting, Luis C.; Ferreira, Golberi; de Bona, Daniel D.; Pacheco, Fernando S.; da Silva, Juarez B.; Alves, João B.; Biléssimo, Simone; Pavani, Ana M.; Lima, Delberis A.; Temporão, Guilherme; Marchisio, Susana; Concari, Sonia B.; Lerro, Federico; de Arregui, Gaston S.; Merendino, Claudio; Plano, Miguel; Fernández, Rubén A.; Paz, Héctor R.; Soria, Mario F.; Gómez, Mario J.; de Almeida, Nival N.; de Oliveira, Vanderli F.; Pozzo, María I.; Dobboletta, Elsa; Bertramo, BrendaExperimenting is fundamental to the training process of all scientists and engineers. While experiments have been traditionally done inside laboratories, the emergence of Information and Communication Technologies added two alter-natives accessible anytime, anywhere. These two alternatives are known as virtual and remote labs, and are sometimes indistinguishably referred as online labs. Sim-ilarly to other instructional technologies, virtual and remote labs require some ef-fort from teachers in integrating them into curricula, taking into consideration sev-eral factors that affect their adoption (i.e. cost) and their educational effectiveness (i.e. benefit). This chapter analyses these two dimensions and sustains the case where only through international cooperation it is possible to serve the large num-ber of teachers and students involved in engineering education. It presents an ex-ample in the area of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, based on a remote lab named Virtual Instruments System in Reality, and it then describes how a number of European and Latin-American institutions have been cooperating under the scope of an Erasmus+ project2, for spreading its use in Brazil and Argentina.
- Spreading remote lab usage: A system — A community — A FederationPublication . Alves, Gustavo R.; Fidalgo, André Vaz; Marques, Arcelina; Viegas, Clara; Felgueiras, Carlos; Costa, Ricardo; Lima, Natercia; Castro, Manuel; Diaz-Orueta, Gabriel; Ruiz, Elio San Cristobal; Garcia-Loro, Felix; Garcia-Zubia, Javier; Hernandez-Jayo, Unai; Kulesza, Wlodek; Gustavsson, Ingvar; Pester, Andreas; Zutin, Danilo; Schlichting, Luis; Ferreira, Golberi; Bona, Daniel Dezan de; Silva, Juarez B. da; Alves, Joao B.; Bilessimo, Simone; Pavani, Ana; Lima, Delberis; Temporao, Guilherme; Marchisio, Susana; Concari, Sonia; Lerro, Federico; Fernandez, Ruben; Paz, Hector; Soria, Fernando; Almeida, Nival; Oliveira, Vanderli de; Pozzo, Maria I.; Dobboletta, ElsaExperiments have been at the heart of scientific development and education for centuries. From the outburst of Information and Communication Technologies, virtual and remote labs have added to hands-on labs a new conception of practical experience, especially in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics education. This paper aims at describing the features of a remote lab named Virtual Instruments System in Reality, embedded in a community of practice and forming the spearhead of a federation of remote labs. More particularly, it discusses the advantages and disadvantages of remote labs over virtual labs as regards to scalability constraints and development and maintenance costs. Finally, it describes an actual implementation in an international community of practice of engineering schools forming the embryo of a first world wide federation of Virtual Instruments System in Reality nodes, under the framework of a project funded by the Erasmus+ Program.
- Spreading the VISIR remote lab along Argentina. The experience in PatagoniaPublication . Hernández-Jayo, Unai; García-Zubía, Javier; Colombo, Alejandro F.; Marchisio, Susana; Concari, Sonia B.; Lerro, Federico; Pozzo, María I.; Dobboletta, Elsa; Alves, Gustavo R.The learning of technical and science disciplines requires experimental and practical training. Hands-on labs are the natural scenarios where practical skills can be developed but, thanks to Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), virtual and remote labs can provide a framework where Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines can also be developed. One of these remote labs is the Virtual Instruments System in Reality (VISIR), specially designed to practice in the area of analog electronics. This paper aims at describing how this remote lab is being used in the Universidad Nacional de la Patagonia San Juan Bosco (UNPSJB - Argentina), in the framework of the VISIR+ project funded by the Erasmus+ Program, one institution without previous experiences with remote labs.
- Starting the Study of Electronic Circuits with VISIRPublication . Marchisio, Susana; Lerro, Federico; Merendino, Claudio; Plano, Miguel; Concari, Sonia B.; Arregui, Gastón Saez de; García-Zubía, Javier; Hernández-Jayo, Unai; Alves, Gustavo R.; Gustavsson, IngvarThis paper aims at introducing the first intensive use of a remote lab named as VISIR by lecturers and students from Facultad de Ciencias Exactas, Ingeniería y Agrimensura, Universidad Nacional de Rosario. The research was carried under the VISIR + project. It is a pilot test in which 17 students from the third year of an Electronic Engineering degree took part. The pilot test was developed in order to bring forward possible difficulties, assess successes and failures and eventually suggest other possible ways of curricular incorporation of VISIR in the teaching of the Physics of Electronic Devices subject. VISIR was used as a complement to hands-on lab, after the last experimental design activity of basic circuits with bipolar transistor. The students carried out an individual lab work. Then, they were asked to answer an opinion poll made up of 20 items, 1-4 Likert scale. Descriptive statistical analysis and summary of cases were carried out in order to conclude about four dimensions of analysis linked to the students’ viewpoint. They are: perceived learnings, VISIR acceptance, perceived teachers’ guidance and time and technical restrictions.
