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.

Three educational implementations in courses of the career of EE at UNR are introduced in this paper. Evaluation results are also discussed. Beyond potential adjustments, results are satisfactory and they encourage the continuity of these three implementations.

The research was carried out in the context of the Physics of Electronic Devices (PED) subject, belonging to the fifth semester of Electronic Engineering, at the National University of Rosario (UNR). Of the total of 12 experimental activities of the program, 8 were implemented using two different remote laboratories belonging to the institution; both laboratories integrated with Moodle and managed from the Remote Laboratory Management System (RLMS) LabRem FCEIA-UNR. This system, developed by one of the authors, records parameters of interest for monitoring student activity and evaluating learning. For each student and for each laboratory, the system reports the details of the income, the number of tests carried out, the circuits tested and the results obtained. The results reported in this work involve data related to the realization of the practical work "Junction Capacitances", using the VISIR remote laboratory. 30 students participated, between August 2020 and July 2021. Interviews were subsequently conducted with some students to illustrate the quantitative data. The results provide knowledge about the uses of the remote laboratory resource in this exceptional context and the assessment by students of the VISIR tool and the new implementation. Likewise, the study enables us to assess the potential of the LabRem FCEIA-UNR system as a data source.

The objective of this work is to share in the field of RUEDA community, motivations, basis, progress and projection, with special implications in Argentina, of an Erasmus+ Project: "Educational Modules for Electric and Electronic Circuits Theory and Practice following an Enquiry-based Teaching and Learning Methodology supported by VISIR". This project is funded by the Commission of the European Union at the 2015 call, with the coordination of the Polytechnic Institute of Porto. The project is being developed and it is carried out by a consortium of European and Latin higher education institutions, with the possibility of incorporating adherents. The emphasis is on the strategic and innovation objectives of both technological and educational issues. These objectives are achievable through coll...

En esta asignatura, VISIR es empleado como complemento del laboratorio tradicional a posteriori de la última actividad de diseño experimental que involucra el estudio de aplicaciones circuitales sencillas con transistor bipolar. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo describir la experiencia llevada a cabo en FDE, así como presentar los resultados que surgen de la evaluación de la misma luego de finalizadas tres implementaciones didácticas, con participación de 51 estudiantes del tercer año de la carrera. La investigación incluyó la aplicación de un cuestionario validado previamente, compuesto por 20 ítems, escala Likert 1-4. El estudio in...
