Workshop on Remote and Virtual Laboratory Applications in Engineering Education

The European Remote Radio Laboratory (ERRL) would like to invite you to participate to the Workshop on Remote and Virtual Laboratory Applications in Engineering Education, for discussing the recent advances in use of web-enabled technology for state-of-the-art engineering education within ICT areas of interest. The deadline for submission of manuscript proposals is June 22, 2007. The workshop will be co-located with the 18th Annual IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications, PIMRC 2007. The accepted manuscripts will be published in the proceedings of the PIMRC2007 and will also appear in IEEE Xplore. The workshop is open to attendance from both academic and industrial organizations. The workshop is open to attendance from both academic and industrial organizations.

• e-learning platforms, portals, remote and virtual learning environments on radiocommunication systems
• Management and network security issues
• Simulation/emulation versus physical experimentation within Remote versus Local laboratories
• RF Measurement Technique (microwave and millimeter-wave passive components.)
• Design, Model and Framework of E-learning Systems
• On-line engineering
• Assessment technique
• Remote control and Virtual instrumentation
• Tele-robotic
• Virtual instrumentation
• E-moderation
• Course design
• Remote-lab E-learning Standards
• Qualification
• Didactical outcomes, computer aided assessment
• Needs analysis
• Pedagogical Issues , assessment techniques
• Decision support for e-learning platforms
• Designing Human centered systems
• Usability of information systems
• Learning styles in engineering education
• Social inclusion and equal opportunity.

The workshop is co-organized by ERRL-European Remote Radio Laboratory Project (under LdV Pilot Program) and PIMRC 2007 Organizer Committees.
