Abstract :
An approach to electric and electronic measurement teaching has been developed allowing students from different countries to get in the hand with measurement on real instrumentation, with no need for expensive laboratory instrumentation and personnel. It is shown through a magnetic measurement experiment on multilingual base. Following current European Union efforts to expand newest educational principles to the partner and neighbour countries, this approach can be used for spreading thriving knowledge economy and life-long learning idea among them thus creating a European education and research area realizable. Developed in the framework of a remotely accessible laboratory realized at the University of Sannio, Italy, experiment allows students to analyse the characteristics of different magnetic materials and the influence of hysteresis phenomena on magnetic and electrical circuits. The experiment includes the interactive verification of the knowledge acquired by the students and can be executed in seven different languages: Croatian, English, French, German, Italian, Romanian, and Spanish
