The advantages of these laboratories and the different deployments have been analyzed many times, but in this paper we want to show the results of the evaluation of WebLab-Deusto as a learning tool. This work is focused on the subjects programmable logic (PL) in the third year of Automation and Electronics Engineering and in Electronics Design (ED) of the fifth year of the same degree. The paper presents the results of the surveys done by ...

At the same time, however, these opportunities introduce real challenges to the institutions hosting the remote labs. This paper draws on the experiences of the REXNET project consortium to expose a number of these issues as a means of furthering the debate on the value of remote labs and the best practices in deploying them. The paper presents ...

Sometimes during this long process we forget the objective of the WebLab: to be a learning tool. Using defined standards we can save time creating universal and powerful WebLabs. LXI is an standard to control devices via Ethernet that can be used to this purpose. Index Terms—Remote laboratories, standards, remote control, LXI

We can find a wide range of Remote Laboratories in the literature [1], assisting very different types of subjects (electronics, robotics, optics, fluids mechanics...), but commonly bound to a restricted set of requirements. Because of this, little attention has been paid on working on a scalable, maintainable, secure, open architecture that addresses the requirements of a wide set of experiments, and that could be open enough to support or ...

The first one gives a classification of WebLabs, which can be found on the Internet structured by the type of action to be applied to the experiment under control. Next, some characteristics that should be considered when working with WebLabs are explained. The groups of features are presented according to their common area, which should be one out of these four possible: didactic of the WebLab, technologies involved in the WebLab, universality of the WebLab and ...

Traditionally, the focus on WebLab design has been placed on the hardware side and the communication link between the controlling PC (WebLab server) and the hardware prototype. Little attention has been paid to the other communication segment going from the WebLab server to the remote users' PCs, since this has been regarded as a “solved software problem”. Consequently, aspects such as security, scalability, accessibility, or user friendliness have often been disregarded in WebLabs. This situation may be solved if a ...

Currently, the field of WebLab design is very active, and several other universities are adopting them as a sign of quality and distinction for Microelectronics teaching. The first part of this paper shows several requirements that a WebLab should meet and the next points discuss three remarkable aspects of WebLab-DEUSTO: a) its distinctive software-hardware architecture b) its use with a mobile telephone and c) the evaluation of its use by yhe students and the ...

Its ease of use, rich features, and didactic nature can make it a valuable teaching aid in Digital Electronics courses. The paper explains BOOLE-DEUSTO's pedagogical justification, its main features, and our teaching experience with it. The paper also matches the features and particular strengths of BOOLE-DEUSTO with LogicAid, a similar program developed by professor Roth from the ...

Por ejemplo, es útil en asignaturas como Electrónica Digital y Tecnología de Computadores. Antes de describir a BOOLE, situémoslo brevemente. Cualquiera de las asignaturas antes mencionadas son nuevas para el alumno y muy metodológicas, es decir, el alumno debe aprender conceptos nuevos y un gran número de métodos. BOOLE viene a cubrir un hueco en la enseñanza, que bien era cubierto con ...
