The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne is currently developing an environment for Web-based experimentation in engineering education. This environment aims at providing students with the facilities to reinforce their learning process...

This paper examines how the latest developments in communication networks, virtual environments, and educational technologies are being configured to develop Internet-based robotics laboratories. Although, there are many online control experiments...

This paper presents an innovative approach in flexible learning that can facilitate hands-on activities in engineering education. The approach focuses on the mediation role of artifacts within a learning community. The artifacts serve both as a...

Abstract: This paper presents an approach that allows educators without programming skills to build and deploy Web-based experimentation environments. Conscious of the need to move existing Web Based Courses Management Tools (WBCMT) from document...

This paper presents an innovative approach that can facilitate Web-based collaborative hands-on activities in engineering education. We present a framework that helps to sustain the continuity of interaction in flexible learning. The proposed...

The boundaries existing between personal and community spaces may be considered as limitations towards efficient interaction and effective learning in communities of practice. The continuous construction and deconstruction (negotiation) of these...

Social Software applications have contributed to the establishing of personal learning environments. People have started to use a number of tools and services for managing their personal social networks, to communicate and to interact. In a...
