1. INTRODUCTION
VISIR
• VISIR is the acronym of Virtual Instrument Systems In Reality• VISIR is a remote laboratory for wiring and measuring electronics circuits
remotely on a virtual/simulated workbench that resembles the real lab instruments and components
• The wiring mechanism is developed by means of a relay switching matrix connected to a PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation (PXI)
• The entire equipment is controlled by LabVIEW (equipment server)• Measurement server acts as an instructor• Concurrent users
• UNED-COMA platform (Massive Open Online Course <<MOOC>> in Spanish: Curso Online Masivo Abierto) is an Open-UNED initiative, aimed at the deployment of MOOCs from different departments of UNED
• UNED-COMA platform explodes the rich experience in distance education of UNED educational system
• Pass the course: Badge < Credential (paying) < Certificate (paying & in-person exam)
• Curator (UNED-COMA) & Facilitator (teaching staff)• Activities and assessment tools are very limited: the viewing of videos,
video-questions and P2P activities• Access is completely open and free
Description
2. UNED-COMA PLATFORM
• UNED-COMA platform is not intended/designed for the integration of a remote laboratory in MOOCs
• UNED-COMA platform does not provide any type of tool for teachers to track the progress of students in the MOOC, only provides general information (number of enrollments, number of badges obtained, etc.)
• In order to obtain more specific information, i.e. for an individual tracking the MOOC-platform databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB) have been analyzed. Unfortunately, UNED-COMA no longer provides access to the databases
• Besides, the possibilities offered by UNED-COMA platform, when establishing activities and assessment tasks are very limited
• Assessment tools provided by the platform are not ductile for any type of subject, but even less when the objective is to grade practical skills .acquired.
Constraints
2. UNED-COMA PLATFORM
• Module I: Simulation• Module II: Remote laboratory (VISIR)• Module III: Working with resistors. Ohmic values. Voltage divider• Module IV: RLC circuits. RL, RLC & RC circuits• Module V: Working with diodes. Differences between 1N4007 & BAT42.
Halfwave rectifier. Voltage drop on diode• Module VI: Low-pass filter. Mean value, voltage ripple, regulation• Module VII: Zener diode. Zener diode as voltage regulator. Zener diode as
clipper. Construction of the current-voltage characteristic curve• Module VIII: Operational amplifier. Non-inverting amplifier. Inverting
differentiator. Inverting amplifier

LMS(Moodle) BS WebLab
Deusto VISIR
Web-responsive
Learning Analytics System
• Allows concurrent/alone access to remote lab VISIR or to any other remote lab
• All the communication between user and remote lab is stored, users are not anonymous any more
• As the new booking system is external to the LMS platform and VISIR, it allows courses from diverse LMS platforms interacting to different labs
• Any LMS can be integrated in the system. Therefore, the limitations when establishing activities and assessment tasks can be prevented by choosing an adequate LMS
• The whole system is web-responsive, allowing their interaction with neither geographical nor temporal restrictions
