Educational continuity has been made possible by the fact that teacher education and teacher collaboration systems have evolved rapidly to provide teachers with the knowledge and skills they need both to adopt new pedagogies and to support students and their families during the pandemic. Therefore, it is recommended that the ongoing professional de...

It is not necessary to change the teaching to the taste of women, or any other group that is currently less represented. This is mainly because the notion of a science for under-represented women or minorities is meaningless and unfounded. What we must be aware of is that there is great potential in diversity. Cultural, social and gender diversity...

Computational Thinking is a competence that is developed more in the last few years. This is due to the multitude of benefits it has in the classroom. Throughout this article we show a series of activities that promote the development of Computational Thinking using tools that allow visual block programming. The particularity of these activities is...

Some engineering concepts have been proven to be very important not only in engineering degrees but in several areas. This knowledge is difficult to grasp under certain circumstances, and sometimes prior training is needed. This is a special challenge in full or part remote education. Simulations may help in this area, but truly experimental lab pr...

Today's educational needs require tools with neither geographical nor temporal restrictions. These tools also have to help students to reach the knowledge and provide them with the skills that the labor market demands. To achieve this goal, the technical areas rely on the contribution that laboratory practices provide. However, traditional laborato...

This paper presents an extension of the VISIR Remote Laboratory to support the IoT Technologies. By means of this new extension, the users of the remote laboratory can experiment by programming an ARM device (a raspberry Pi) and interact with sensors and actuators. Furthermore, all the characteristics of VISIR are still preserved. Therefore, the us...

New social learning demands are fostered by continuous learning culture and self-learning environments. This demanding scenario requires ubiquitous educational environments without temporal restrictions. For these reasons, educational institutions increasingly rely on remote laboratories (RLs) as educational tools in order to provide real-world exp...

Chock temperature control is an important issue in cold rolling mills. Traditional wired systems don't offer satisfactory results for practical use. Because of very low power consumption using Zigbee (IEEE 802.15.4) wireless technology, temperature sensors (up to 125 C) suitable for a tandem cold mill environment have been developed. The complete m...

Chocks Temperature Control is a very important issue in roll life. High temperatures in the chocks can damage the bearings and even start a fire in the mill. Traditional wired systems don't offer satisfactory results, in practical use. Using Zigbee (802.15.4) wireless technology, due to its very low power consumption, temperature sensors (up to 125...
