This document presents the development of a remote lab for teaching mechanical principles based on Galileo's Inclined Plane Experiment. The prototype was built making use of open hardware and software solutions in order to facilitate its replication. It uses Raspberry Pi to retrieve data from sensors and send commands to actuators connected to it, and provide video streaming from a generic webcam. Thus, the remote experimentation using mobile or conventional devices makes it easier to understand the movement of bodies for a wide range of users.

This paper describes a remote implementation of Galileos inclined plane experiment, focused on secondary school students. A remotely controlled inclined plane has been designed and implemented in the VISIR lab at Blekinge Institute of Technology (BTH), Sweden. In this demo session, it will be demonstrated how to perform measurements remotely in the remotely controlled Inclined Plane Laboratory. A web camera is used to show the experiment. Data concerning the distance a cube has slided down the inclined plane are collected. These data are stored in a file and can subsequently be analyzed by the students. The friction acting on the cube sliding down the inclined plane and its acceleration may for instance be investigated.

The article considers an example of the advertisement network based on the BLE 4.0, and its facilities for creating the infrastructure for a Smart Campus, where dynamic information is provided for the target audience. The authors provide an analysis of the characteristics and experimental implementation of this system. Moreover, the practical usage of a popular vendor and the needed back-end to provide dynamic usages of the network, both in appearance and content is described. In the paper different wireless technologies are compared in regards to their main feature and field of application. In general the characteristics of a Blue Tooth Low Energy, BLE, are highlighted. This is elaborated upon in the Smart Campus example. The Smart Campus is an indoor wireless network to deliver location and user based dynamic information to the different visitors, teacher or students of a university campus, both for day-to-day use as for specific events. To keep the system interesting and to augment ease-of-use for all kind of users and content providers, a dedicated content management system is developed within the Smart Campus case. The complete system consists of a set of beacons, an application on a smartphone, a database with the related CMS. All is developed in an international cooperation between different universities.

An FPGA-based remote laboratory implemented in a hybrid cloud for semi-automatic FPGA-run experiments (SAFRE) is presented. The design file and the FPGA test flow file including the FPGA-run parameters are sent to the hybrid cloud to trigger the sequence of the following tasks automatically: the logic-synthesis, the logic-simulation, and the FPGA-run, with the video recording. In this way, the amount of the users works can be reduced. The user only prepares the high-level Verilog HDL description and a few FPGA device setup parameters. The remote laboratory manager which provides semi-automatic experiment service handles the rest of the works, and the FPGA-run results together with the live recorded video are returned to the user for further inspection/debugging. This semi-automatic experiment service eliminates many cumbersome user works. Each user can have an access to the remote laboratory though a web browser and communicate with the experiment task manager via the Web Services and the WebSockets. As the manager acts like an agent for the user and realizes the semi-automatic experiment, the user can concentrate on the high-level designs. The user can get the feeling of the exclusive and interactive use of an FPGA-based experiment platform, while allowing efficient sharing of the platforms at the same time. In case of the device usage conflicts, the task manager resolves the contentions by reallocating the platforms in both space- and time-division fashions.

Strengthening study skills should be a key objective of every education system. Universities in particular can bring a positive influence to bear on the study skills of pupils at an early stage through appropriate programs and measures. The institute of information systems at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) is playing its part in contributing the Pupils' Academy of Serious Gaming as an innovative and successful teaching concept. This paper presents the Pupils' Academy based on the online SAP ERP Simulation Game ERPsim. In addition to strengthening study skills, the second objective is the introduction of major enterprise software via application-oriented learning. The positive impact on study skills is evidenced with the help of a self-assessment by means of an IT-based survey carried out by the participating students. These examinations include the activities related to the three study skills methods of science, self-competences, and a clear idea of studies at university. Based on these scientific findings this paper presents the Pupils' Academy of Serious Gaming as an example of how the enterprise software SAP ERP is successfully applied to strengthen study skills.

The present article introduces the newly designed curriculum of continuing education at Tallinn University of Technology. Educational demand of technical teachers in Estonia has been of high importance today, as there are not enough of STEM and technical teachers at gymnasiums and vocational schools. This has been the primary reason for the design of a new curriculum creating the possibilities of acquiring the additional specialty of a technical teacher for engineers. The curriculum has been designed and implemented and the first feedback of the graduates is analyzed in the article.

Experimental activities with real components are an essential part of all courses including or devoted to electrical and electronic circuits theory and practice. The knowledge triangle composed of hand-written exercises, simulations and traditional lab experiments has been enriched with the possibility for students to conduct real experiments over the Internet, using remote labs. This tutorial is devoted to one such remote lab named Virtual Instrument Systems in Reality (VISIR). The Global Online Laboratory Consortium (GOLC) elected VISIR as the best remote controlled laboratory in the world, at the first time this distinction was awarded. At the end of this tutorial, attendees are expected to know what is VISIR, what can (not) be done with it, who is currently using it, and how can one integrate it in a given course curriculum.

Smartphones have not only become pervasive, but they will continue evolving in the future. Mobile communications will thus continue to be an area of tremendous research activity, where well-trained professionals will have to address the challenges of such a demanding market. With a background of more than ten years in mobile communications, and based on the insights gained from the Fed4FIRE PerformLTE testbed, the authors have realized the high potential of mobile test equipment not only in the research field but also for educational purposes. In this paper we propose the application of the UXM wireless test set as a pivotal component in a mobile communications engineering learning and research curriculum.
