• Network of VRLs in different fields: Physics,

Control Engineering, etc.

• Based on Moodle

• Uses EJS to build the VRLs and the EJSApp

plugins to integrate them into the LMS

• Documentation, communication channels,

quizzes…MPTL’18 Multimedia in Physics Teaching and Learning

Additional learning resources

Many VRLs in the Automatic Control field

1. Vibrating strings

2. Photoelectric effect

3. Diffraction experiment

Objective:

To study the relation between tension, longitude and density of the material in the foundamental mode os oscillation in a vibrating string

3. New remote labs: vibrating strings

MPTL’18 Multimedia in Physics Teaching and Learning

Objective:

To study the foundamentals of the photoelectric effect and to determine the value of Planck’s constant, h

3. New remote labs: photoelectric effect

8MPTL’18 Multimedia in Physics Teaching and Learning

Objective:

To study two levels of profundization of the diffraction images produced by several diffractive objects:• Determine the size of the diffractive objects• Check the diffraction theory

• UNEDLabs is a network of collaborative VRLs.

• UNEDLabs already has several automatic control VRLs and a few more about Physics.

• Three new RLs are being prepared to be integrated into the UNEDLabs network (VLs too):

• Vibrating strings

• Photoelectric effect

• Diffraction

• All these new VRLs will automatically obtain extended capabilities when used within the UNEDLabs web portal.
