This paper provides a research approach in developing and automating an Augmented Reality (AR) environment for engineering distance learners. By capturing and modelling the on-campus tutor knowledge into a virtual tutor for teaching and assessing practical skills of engineering distance learners. The research proposed and developed a knowledge based educational framework (KBEd). The experimental result conducted from the subject experts using the proposed prototype has demonstrated a great potential. Where, out of 10 experts 90% agreed that the proposed AR environment has demonstrated a high usability in enhancing practical skills of engineering distance learners and also for regular students in practicing the laboratory task when away from on-campus environment.

A fundamental strength of many engineering courses is engaging students to foster the connection between theories and their appropriate practical applications. The objective of this special session within the 13 International Conference on Remote Engineering and Virtual Instrumentation (REV 2016) is to provide a forum to discuss about experiences in learning and teaching Open Educational Resources (OERs) and Competences related with Practices / Laboratories. Following milestones of main conference, this special session aims to stimulate also an open discussion and a reflection of experience in the use of innovative experiments in engineering education.

This paper presents a concept for the use of a PLC as an Industry 4.0 (I40) component as defined by the Industry 4.0 architecture RAMI 4.0. As a result, PLC controllers can be integrated seamlessly in Industry 4.0 production environments using the service paradigm. The transmission time for the process data from the PLC to the IP network was determined for a prototype implementation. With the PLC as an I40 component, process data can be transferred directly from the controller to an IP network without additional delays. This forms, amongst other things, the basis for outsourcing parts of the control program to a cloud.

Scientific disciplines nowadays benefits from e-learning technologies and online laboratories. This allows engaging students more effectively and achieving better learning outcomes. However, even the most recent online laboratorial solutions lack in offering some valuable capabilities, such as the cooperative dimension, which promises to boost the students' involvement and their interactions with peers and teachers. According to the most recent guidelines from the scientific scenario as well as from the European Community, with the e-Science Infrastructure initiative, we propose in this paper a collaborative, hierarchical, multi-videoconferencing approach based on WebRTC that offers an optical microscope located at the biology faculty of our university as an online laboratory equipment. The proposed platform has been tested with students from a local high-school in their curricular biology activities, thus highlighting the feasibility of the proposed approach as well as its pedagogical effectiveness. The first implemented prototype and the proposed didactic protocol are also presented.

ViPLab is a virtual online programming laboratory for the ILIAS learning management system, developed by the University of Stuttgart and in active use for many years. ViPLab allows students to conduct their homeworks or electronic exams on personal devices in multiple programming languages requiring a browser as only local software installation. ViPLab also enables teachers to grade submitted solutions automatically. It supports multiple programming languages, MatLab/Octave, Java, C, C++ and DuMuX, with the option of adding additional languages when required.

Standard SBCs (Single Board Computer) with number of standard shields and sensors can be used as building blocks for rapid development of network of intelligent devices with sensing, control and Internet access. Arduino family of boards having high popularity and large number of sold units featuring open access, reliability, robustness, standard connections and low prices, possesses large potential for implementation of autonomous remote measurement and control systems of various levels of complexity. As Arduino boards can function independently, they are complete small computer platforms that can perform various tasks requiring some kind of interaction with the outer world. Arduino boards can be used and programmed in various ways, and can be arranged in various combinations forming some typical implementation architectures that this paper discusses. Starting from basic and simple configurations, more advanced are gradually considered from the aspects of chosen way of programming and combining with other boards. Special attention is devoted to NodeJS as programming platform for Arduino boards and considerations of libraries used with Arduino boards like Johnny-Five, Galileo-io firmata equivalent, mraa library and other ways of program access to GPIO like Linux Sysfs. As typical representatives of Arduino boards' family, the Arduino Uno, Arduino Due and Arduino Galileo were selected, with justification that all other not mentioned boards are somewhere between those selected, according to official hardware specifications.

Serious Games (SG) have proved to have instructional potential but there is still a lack of methodologies and tools not only for their design but also to support game analysis and assessment. This paper explores the use of SG to increase student engagement and retention. The ongoing development phase of a game to teach the theoretical and practical principles of the operation of a sound synthesizer is presented to demonstrate how electronic engineering education can be radically reimagined to create immersive, highly engaging learning experiences that are problem-centered and pedagogically sound. The Learning Mechanics-Game Mechanics (LM-GM) framework for SG game analysis is introduced and its use in an educational game design scenario is shown as a case study.

This paper summarizes the key facts of an innovative e-learning training launched in september 2014 called L3-EOLES ("Electronics & Optics e-Learning for Embedded Systems") including a dedicated remote laboratory. It is important to emphasize that, to the author knowledge, this training is the first nationally-accredited training (and in 3 different countries) fully online in the field of Physics in the world. This is due to the development of a remote laboratory dedicated to the training and allowing students to perform practical works from any Internet connection.

This work presents a method to quickly develop remote labs interfaces and embed them in a learning management system like Moodle. The proposed solution requires the use of Easy Javascript Simulations for the development of the interfaces and the EJSApp Moodle plugin to upload them in the learning management system. At the end, an already existing remote experience, originally intended only for testing an electronic solution, was revitalized with a new interface and features.
