This paper describes the use of a hardware and software environment that allows distant access to RF electronics measurement devices called Remote RF Laboratory. This access only requires conventional Internet browser and corresponding plug-in, both available for free, and low speed Internet connexion. Remote users may perform web-based RF measurements at any time, from any place, which is particularly interesting for applications in distant learning, enhancement of traditional lectures and from a financial point of view. General architecture of the remote laboratory is presented and multiple accesses to it discussed. Pedagogical approach is described and advantages compared to traditional lab are outlined. Users feedback is given and discussed.

The Distributed Control Lab (DCL)[10] provides an open infrastructure for conducting robotics and control experiments from the Internet. It is based on web service technologies and offers a wide range of frontend applications. Within the DCL environment we focus on safety mechanisms in order to prevent malicious code from damaging experimental equipment. This includes source code analysis, runtime observation and the dynamic replacement of faulty control algorithms. Within the paper we present an overview of our architecture and explain the implemented frontends in detail. We introduce the installed experiments and report our experiences from operation in the last years. In addition we will describe our latest integration of grid computing technologies, which allows the outsourcing of computing-intensive simulation tasks.

This paper treats the database structure and the architecture of “Virtual ElectroLab”. The “Virtual ElectroLab” makes use of a relational database (MS SQL). It is also covered the communication procedure between the client and server. The paper describes the database structure exemplified through the database diagram. The web-based experiments are executed in an asynchronous mode.

This paper treats the e-learning domain from the virtual and remote laboratories point of view. These laboratories have Java applets as client side application. The paper presents the importance of offering to students the possibility to do laboratory tests with real data. Although a remote experiment can not provide the student with the real feedback of the experiment, by using real data and a good representation of the laboratory equipment, we can get closer the the real feedback. The article describes the facilities offered by the Java language in making user interfaces for the remote and virtual laboratories. At the same time, we present three implementations in the pilot project "Virtual ElectroLab" of the "Leonardo da Vinci" program that have user interfaces based on the Java Applet technology, for accessing the laboratory resources via Internet.

FPGA including very complex digital blocks are possible nowadays due to digital integrated circuits progress. FPGA fundamentals and characteristics are not easy to explain because they have a lot of interrelated concepts. By this reason FPGA learning is usually based on a family of a particular manufacturer and doesn’t give a general view of configurable devices. Due to that it is essential for the electronic learning community to dispose of tools facilitating the learning process of the fundamentals of the FPGA’s and the design of systems based on them. The learning system we describe in this paper combines a tutorial with a hardware and software tools to achieve a friendly interface with a PC to facilitate FPGA distance learning for students with a basic knowledge of digital electronics and VHDL.

Elevated rates of failure in Engineering courses at the university level, in addition to the difficulty in attracting new students to courses in this area have made it necessary to implement new and innovative measures to invert this trend. ‘EDBI’ (Ensino à Distância Baseado na Internet) is a project conceived with the purpose of increasing school success and capturing the interest of the students through the implementation of a computer-assisted teaching solution which acts as a pedagogic tool and is used to complement the other traditional teaching methods commonly used when teaching mathematics, electrical and electronics. Aside from the context and goals that were the motive for this project, the strategies and lines of orientation followed in the implementing of the solution, as well as its phases, steps and organization in the current phase of its development will also be described. In addition, it will also explore the alterations that this type of strategy may cause in the roles traditionally attributed to teachers and students, and the effect that these changes bring about in the teacher-student relationship, and in the responsibilities of each. Finally, it will present the principle conclusions obtained up until now.
大学一级工程课程的失败率上升，再加上难以吸引新生学习这一领域的课程，因此有必要采取新的创新措施来扭转这一趋势。“EDBI”(Ensino dist ncia Baseado na Internet)是一个旨在通过实施计算机辅助教学解决方案来提高学校成功率和吸引学生兴趣的项目，该解决方案作为一种教学工具，用于补充数学、电气和电子教学中常用的其他传统教学方法。除了作为该项目的动机的背景和目标之外，还将描述解决方案实施过程中遵循的策略和方向，以及其在当前开发阶段的阶段、步骤和组织。此外，它还将探讨这种类型的策略可能会导致传统上赋予教师和学生的角色发生变化，以及这些变化对师生关系和各自的责任带来的影响。最后，给出了到目前为止得到的主要结论。
