“…This question was discussed in a former collaborative research project named Remote Experimentation Network -Yielding an Inter-university Peer-to-Peer e-service (RexNet-yippee), which involved several Higher Education Institutions (HEI) from Europe and Latin America [17]. Although not completely answered, this question was partially addressed by the simple equation presented on figure 2.…”

Abstract-Experiments 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.

Students usually regard lab classes as the opportunity to practice learnt theory. Some would even pass more time in the lab performing new or the same experiment with slightly different parameters, if allowed to. Benefiting from the experience gained in the PEARL (Practical Experimentation by Accessible Remote Learning) project, the University of Porto has developed a Remote Electronics Workbench (REW) that allows students to carry out real experiments in electronics, from their home computer, through web-based access. The REW includes: interfaces to experimental scenarios; real video feedback from the lab environment; video-conference facilities to enable student-tostudent and student-to-tutor dialogue; and registration and booking pages to new and registered users, respectively. It is also a constituting part of a proposal to create a Remote Experimentation Network covering both European and Latin-American countries, under the Alfa II programme.

“…to the same type, quantity and diversity of laboratory instruments/apparatus. In many institutions, this lack of resources (in many cases caused by the number of students enrolled in a particular course) is addressed by two simple solutions [3]: the teacher conducts a series of demonstrations in the laboratory (requires less equipment) or the students are invited to conduct a series of simulations (requires no equipment, except for a simple PC equipped with the right software). In a number of situations, the teacher may choose to demonstrate a given theory or concept by conducting a remote experiment, either in the laboratory or in a normal classroom, by simply using a PC connected to the Internet and a video projector.…”

“…A remote laboratory allows a remote client to actually control/observe a given experimental equipment/apparatus through a simple web browser [3]. A virtual laboratory allows the same actions and the same access mechanism, with the difference that the experimental equipment/apparatus is replaced by a computer model [4].…”

Abstract-This paper presents a collaborative virtual learning environment, which includes technologies such as 3D virtual representations, learning and content management systems, remote experiments, and collaborative learning spaces, among others. It intends to facilitate the construction, management and sharing of knowledge among teachers and students, in a global perspective. The environment proposes the use of 3D social representations for accessing learning materials in a dynamic and interactive form, which is regarded to be closer to the physical reality experienced by teachers and students in a learning context. A first implementation of the proposed extended immersive learning environment, in the area of solid mechanics, is also described, including the access to theoretical contents and a remote experiment to determine the elastic modulus of a given object.These instructions give you basic guidelines for preparing camera-ready papers for conference proceedings.
