A Remote and Virtual Lab with Experiments for Secondary Education, Engineering and Lifelong Learning Courses

The Information and Communication Technology tools are nowadays fundamental to support e-learning and blearning courses. The Remote and Virtual Laboratory available at the Department of Informatics Engineering of the University of Coimbra (Portugal), RVL@DEI-UC, is a web-based platform that allows users to perform experiments in different educational levels and contexts. This paper aims to desc...
