Target group

This module is dedicated to teachers in the use of students. Here they can find an alternative way of teaching about analog circuits using a remote control system, VISIR. Also employees from technical museums who want to use remote labs to increase users interest to technology can attend it.

During 4 units it will be presented theoretical aspect about analog circuit measurements and their components, but also some exercises and experiments. The presentation will start from general aspects and then going to particular. At the end of each subject will be a part where to test the knowledge or to make some experiments.

Using this kind of remote labs teachers can provide their students a new and innovative way of learning without breaking down anything and without being in danger if they are not using appropriate equipment.

Objectives

To get knowledge and experience to work with remote laboratory. To develop using VISIR electrical circuits.

To introduce real laboratory equipment such as multimeter, direct current (DC) Power, Oscilloscope, and Function Generator into remote world and to use them as they are meant to be used in the lab.
