International Cooperation for Remote Laboratory Use
Alves, Gustavo R.; Fidalgo, André; Marques, Maria Arcelina; Viegas, Clara; Felgueiras, Carlos; Costa, Ricardo J.; Lima, Natércia; Castro, ManuelExperimenting 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 inst...
The VISIR Implementation Process at IFSC - problems, obstacles and solutions
Schlichting, Luis; Bona, Daniel de; Ferreira, Golberi; Alves, Gustavo R.In recent year, the use of remote laboratories applied to teaching has been more frequent in several educational institutions around the world. The benefits on the learning process are easy to verify. In addition, remote laboratories bring in their application, operational advantages associated to component inventory, equipment maintenance, security, and others practical issues. Considering this, it is intuitiv...
Spreading remote lab usage: A system — A community — A Federation
Alves, Gustavo R.; Fidalgo, André Vaz; Marques, Arcelina; Viegas, Clara; Felgueiras, Carlos; Costa, Ricardo; Lima, Natercia; Castro, ManuelExperiments 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...
A remote lab to support e-leaning on Programmable System-on-Chip (PSoC)
Felgueiras, Carlos; Fidalgo, André; Alves, Gustavo R.; Schlichting, Luís; Motta, Gabriel; Ferreira, GolberiThe design flow in analog and digital electronics are quite opposite as result of each area maturation state. So, are also the teaching methodologies, being challenging for both teachers and students. The electronic design in the digital field is centered in the use of microprocessor and FPGA based circuits using high level programing/configuring languages. In a different way, the analog design is traditionally...
A remote lab to support e-learning on FPAA
Felgueiras, Carlos; Fidalgo, André; Alves, Gustavo R.; Costa, Guilherme; Schlichting, Luís; Ferreira, GolberiTeaching analog and digital electronic subjects is not a trivial task because is necessary to use opposite methodologies. The electronic design in the digital field is centered in the use of microprocessor and FPGA based circuits using high level programing/configuring languages. The counterpart analog design is traditionally based in the use of elementary components associated with macroblocks such operational...
Design state exploration applied to the development of a remote lab for project...
Alves, Gustavo R.; Marques, Maria A.; Paiva, Carlos; Nogueira, Pedro; Guimarães, P. S.; Couto, Ruben; Cherem, Laryssa; Borba, Vitor; Ferreira, GolberiThis paper describes the application of Design State Exploration techniques in the development of a remote lab for projectile motion experiments. The application was enabled by the existence of two independent teams: one composed of a series of internships that started first and another with two grantees that started a few months later. The paper presents evidence on how this approach provided gains in the deve...
Advances in smart grids - benefits on sharing background experiences from Portu...
Vale, Zita; Styczynski, Zbigniew; Hadjsaid, Nouredine; Caire, Raphael; Souza, André; Rolim, Jacqueline; Ferreira, Golberi; Aquiles, José; Morais, H.This paper presents ELECON - Electricity Consumption Analysis to Promote Energy Efficiency Considering Demand Response and Non-technical Losses, an international research project that involves European and Brazilian partners. ELECON focuses on energy efficiency increasing through consumer´s active participation which is a key area for Europe and Brazil cooperation. The project aims at significantly contributing...
