“…Therefore, remote experiments are real experiences with physical elements that interact with virtual controls: there is no restriction in time nor space, interactions are direct with real equipment, we have the feedback of the results of the online experience and, a key point for a low cost of installation, use and maintenance [12].

In this paper we report a technology integration experience within the Basic Education, from the use of mobile devices. The proposed environment is based on open digital learning content that is accessed via mobile devices and complemented by the use of remote experiments. The integration of mobile devices, virtual learning environment for the provision of educational materials and physical experiments remotely accessed, give students a new way to interact with the subjects in a simple and enjoyable way anywhere and anytime. The implemented architecture is based entirely on open source software and open-hardware resources that include a learning management system, an application for mobile devices and remote experiments developed by Remote Experimentation Lab of the Federal University of Santa Catarina. Although the pilot project is being implemented in 4 public Basic Education Schools and covers 287 teachers and 3,201 students, this document will report the integration of technology in high school physics courses in one of the schools.

Mobile-devices are able to support a wide range of outdoor assessment activities. While there is a significant amount of research that investigates the acceptance of computer-based assessment from one side and the acceptance of mobile learning from the other, relatively few studies focus explicitly on the factors that influence the acceptance of Mobile-based Assessment. The current study implements a mobile-based outdoor educational activity in the city’s Botanic Gardens during an environmental education project. 50 secondary school students participated in a mobile-assisted assessment procedure using Quick Response (QR) - coding technology through their mobile devices. The study examines the impact of Perceived Mobility, Authentic Context and Interest/Enjoyment on students’ Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease of Use and Behavioral Intention to Use Mobile-based Assessment. Partial Least Squares (PLS) was used for the data analysis. Results show that Perceived Mobility, Authentic Context and Interest/Enjoyment, Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease of Use are all significant determinants of Behavioral Intention to Use mobile-based assessment. Furthermore, the study examines the impact of using mobile devices during the learning activity on students’ learning motivation. Implications for designing and implementing mobile-based assessment procedures are discussed.

“…In some cases, a solution to these problems has been implemented by using remote laboratories [6][7][8] that allow the students to access experiments through the Internet. In other cases, teachers figure out and build their own experiments and arrange so called low-cost laboratories [9][10][11][12][13].…”
