Abstract-The exponential growth of technology has contributed to the positive revolution of distance learning. Elearning is becoming increasingly used in the transfer of knowledge where instructors can model and script their courses in several formats such as files, videos and quizzes. In order to complete their courses, practical activities are very important. Several instructors have joined Multi-User Virtual World (MUVW) communities such as SecondeLife, as they offer a degree of interrelated realism and interaction between users. The modeling and scenarization of practical activities in the MUVWs remains a very difficult task considering the technologies used by these MUVWs and the necessary prerequisites. In this paper, we propose a framework for the OpenSimulator MUVWs that can simplify the scenarization of practical activities using the OpenSpace3D software and without requiring designers to have expertise in programming or coding.

Abstract. The article presents the e-support methods for vocational learning process at three advancement levels, which can be useful for the preparation of staff according to Industry 4.0 concept and Europe 2020 Strategy. The authors present the application of the animation programmes, which are supportive for learning of CNC programming. They compare the way of learning with the use of real panels for the operator, which are the parts of an individual machine and the animation programme. In the article the authors show designed real didactic stands for e-learning process in the virtual laboratory. The architecture of the didactic stands is designed and it is based on the National Qualification Frameworks (NQF), educational requirements and the requirements of the labour market. The didactic stands aim at learning of PLC programming (Programmable Logic Controller) and HMI (Human Machine Interface). With the use of the PC and the Internet, it is possible to steer a real object, to programme research tasks and to verify the correctness of the tasks undertaken. The didactic stands are independent and autonomous, and equipped with the protection driver. The result of the learning process is to gain skills by students, which are strictly linked with the execution of tasks in a real labour environment.

“…In robotics, first systems have been focused on manual tele-operation (Telegarden, 2010;Telescope, 2010) or manual goal assignment in the case of autonomous mobile robots (Rhino, 2010;Xavier, 2010). The further progress allows remote access to robotic actuators and sensory data and robotic hardware have been integrated into e-learning frameworks (RobOnWeb, 2010;Siegwart and Sauc, 1999;RedRover, 2006;Guimarães et al, 2003;Masár et al, 2004). This is also the case of the project SyRoTek -System for a robotic e-learning, which is focused on developing a virtual laboratory allowing remote access to a set of real mobile robots that can be move inside dedicated space called arena (Faigl et al, 2010).…”

Abstract:SyRoTek (a system for a robotic e-learning) is a robotic virtual laboratory being developed at Czech Technical University in Prague. SyRoTek provides access to real mobile robots placed in an arena with dynamically reconfigurable obstacles enabling variety of tasks in the field of mobile robotics and artificial intelligence. The robots are equipped with several sensors allowing students to realize how robots' perception works and how to deal with uncertainties of the real world. An insight to a technical solution of the SyRoTek project is presented in this paper. Detailed description of the newly developed educational robotic platform, motivated by identified requirements of SyRoTek, is presented together with a description of the arena and its functionalites. An overview of user access to SyRoTek, particularly how the robot is controlled and how sensory data are read is presented as well.
