“…Visual contact was deemed essental in order to successfully carry out an actvity session. Diferent possibilites were also examined regarding the use of remote or virtual laboratories (Gomes & Bogosyan, 2009;Fábregas, Farias, Dormido-Canto, Dormido & Esquembre, 2011). Three possible levels of interacton were identfed as applicable to the actvites of the selected courses:…”

The following is a proposal for collaboraton between universites with the aim to improve curricula that require laboratory actvites. A methodology is suggested to implement an innovatve educatonal project involving the exchange of laboratory actvites. The exchange of laboratory actvites can be carried out on diferent levels of interacton, requiring diferent levels of complexity in setng up the actvites. A frst experience was carried out in the area of machine design. Google+ was the chosen social network. A Google+ community was used to share academic material (notes, videos, actvity guides, etc.) and the actvity itself was carried out using Google Hangouts. The survey administered at the end showed the students' satsfacton with the experience.

“…The principle is to enable different learners to remotely control real equipment using a software interface as in [21] [22][23] [24]. During the experiment, the results obtained are retrieved and stored in a database, or displayed on the interface that the learner uses to communicate with the remote laboratory.…”

Abstract-The exponential growth of technology has contributed to the positive revolution of distance learning. Elearning is becoming increasingly used in the transfer of knowledge where instructors can model and script their courses in several formats such as files, videos and quizzes. In order to complete their courses, practical activities are very important. Several instructors have joined Multi-User Virtual World (MUVW) communities such as SecondeLife, as they offer a degree of interrelated realism and interaction between users. The modeling and scenarization of practical activities in the MUVWs remains a very difficult task considering the technologies used by these MUVWs and the necessary prerequisites. In this paper, we propose a framework for the OpenSimulator MUVWs that can simplify the scenarization of practical activities using the OpenSpace3D software and without requiring designers to have expertise in programming or coding.

Abstract-There are many remote experiments currently being created, but just few of these remote experiments are from the field of metallurgical engineering. The purpose of this article is to describe the development of the remote compression test machine. This experiment is an educational experiment aimed to conduct a compression test via the internet. It uses the microcomputer Raspberry Pi as the main data control. This remote experiment is available in a website, where the students can control and monitor it and export the output data. The tests realized in the remote compression test machine demonstrated that the output is similar to industrial machine allowing its use as a didactic experiment.
