O Banco de Oliveira do Hospital – 1985 a 2023
Fidalgo, AndréEste trabalho procura pistas sobre o processo de fusão do banco Caixa Crédito Agrícola Mútuo de Oliveira de Hospital com a Caixa de Crédito Agrícola Serra da Estrela, em 2023, com sede em Seia. Através de análise documental é feita uma comparação de eficiência com outros bancos. Uma das dimensões examina seis instituições financeiras de teor cooperativo que atuam na vizinhança de Oliveira do Hospital, designada...
VISIR Remote Laboratory: The Switching Matrix Limitations
Jacob, Frederico L.; Fidalgo, André V.; Ruiz, Elio San Cristobal; Loro, Felix Garcia; Lázaro Jacob, Frederico; Fidalgo, AndréIn a rapidly evolving world, technology plays a fundamental role in transforming the way students learn and interact with theoretical and practical concepts. A striking example of this progress is the Virtual Instrument Systems in Reality (VISIR), a popular remote laboratory platform developed for teaching specific subjects such as analog electronics and electricity. This laboratory allows students to conduct p...

VISIR remote lab: Identifying limitations and improvement ideas
Jacob, Frederico L.; Marques, M.A.; Fidalgo, André; Cristobal Ruiz, Elio San; García Loro, Félix; Castro, ManuelThe main idea behind this study is the overall improvement of VISIR remote laboratory infrastructure. Therefore, hypotheses are specified that, independently of the instruments, software, and available experiments, provide new tools for configuring circuits, acquiring measurements, and showing results to users, by maintaining compatibility with most of the presently available hardware and software. The reasonin...
VISIR+ project follow-up after four years: Educational and research impact
Pavani, Ana M.B.; Viegas, Clara; Lima, Natércia; Alves, Gustavo R.; Marques, Arcelina; Fidalgo, André; Jacob, Frederico; Silva, Juarez B.This full paper addresses an innovative practice in the experimental teaching/learning in Engineering courses. Engineering is a practical profession where doing is the key. Experimental work and the immersing in the lab environment (hands-on, simulations, remote labs) helps students to construct and strengthen their knowledge. The VISIR+ Project (ERASMUS+), launched in November 2015 and concluded in Abril 2018,...
A comprehensive VISIR bibliographical reference
Silva, Mariana Miguel; Fidalgo, André; Marques, Maria Arcelina; Alves, Gustavo R.; Salah, Razwan M.; Jacob, Frederico L.VISIR (Virtual Instrument Systems in Reality) is a remote laboratory environment in use in research and academic institutions since 2001. This paper presents a comprehensive VISIR bibliographical reference, including a performance analysis, which reviews the publication data and the citation indexes, and a science mapping, that presents the cognitive structure. The procedure to retrieve, aggregate, process, and...
A roadmap for the VISIR remote lab
Alves, Gustavo R.; Marques, Maria Arcelina; Fidalgo, André; García-Zubía, Javier; Castro, Manuel; Hernández-Jayo, Unai; García-Loro, FelixThis article proposes a roadmap for the VISIR remote laboratory based on a SWOT analysis performed by fifteen experts, with large experience on VISIR deployment, and their perceptions in three categories: Technical, Pedagogical and Educational. The resulting VISIR roadmap was obtained considering an underlying strategy based on a RAKID model. The major resulting insights address the user interface as the most e...
Students' perception about using VISIR
Lima, Natércia; Viegas, Clara; Alves, Gustavo R.; Marques, Maria Arcelina; Fidalgo, AndréRemote Labs allows students a complementary way to learn. While working upon their experimental skills, they can practice their autonomy. VISIR is one of the remote labs more used in the field of Electricity and Electronics. This study was conducted in three countries and 14 educational institutions and gathered 952 students' opinions while using VISIR along with other experimental resources. Its goal was to pe...
How may teaching contribute to sustainability in a small scale but with wide use?
Viegas, Clara; Lima, Natércia; Felgueiras, Carlos; Marques, Maria Arcelina; Alves, Gustavo R.; Costa, Ricardo; Fidalgo, AndréThe use of technology in Education helped teaching plans reach students almost anywhere during the COVID Pandemic and some positive effects regarding the planet sustainability were also reported during this phase. A questionnaire was conducted in order to assess if students felt any resource productive in their learning and would like to keep it, contributing to lesser their ecological footprint. The more advan...
E-Engineering for Middle East and North Africa (MENA): Why and How
Ferreira, Paulo; Gericota, Manuel; Fidalgo, AndréThe potential for development of the Middle East and North Africa region has as one of it's obstacles the lack of a suitable engineering workforce. The Higher Education Institutions of the area have e-Engineering (online Engineering Education using Remote Laboratories) a tool to increase the number and quality of graduated Engineers. The e-Lives project aims to disseminate e-Engineering (good practices) in the ...
