Project Summary

The aim of the project is to reinforce the digitalization, internationalization, accessibility, and visibility of Engineering Education in the EU and worldwide perspective by using the remote labs approach in the Consortium universities. The focus will be on launching the Remote Labs Virtual Campus that will provide the teachers with easy to use tools for “remotification” of existing lab exercises or development of new ones; and the students of Partner universities (and external students) with easy-to-access remote lab exercises for studying engineering problems and solutions on real objects and hardware; Develop digital pedagogical competences of university teachers, enabling them to develop new high-quality remote labs for distance education in Engineering subjects, with additional focus simultaneous education of many students and open online courses.

Project objectives (specific)
1. Creation of the unified design principles and practical tools (examples and templates) for the development and “remotification” of lab exercises involving real objects or simulations.
2. Development of at least 6 remote labs for engineering education courses at the consortium universities.
3. Launching of the Remote Labs Virtual Campus that connects teachers, students, and industry/business (at least 20 industrial and business partners).
