Abstract

A new b-learning environment was set up by means of joining lectures and tutoring sessions, an e-learning moodle platform and an improved interface for an existing remote test learning setup. The new interface let professors and students interact with the ATE equipment by means of a queue / batch. The results of execution are measurements from programmable instrumentation, saved to be recover later as a report. Previous experience acquired with similar power electronic courses has lead authors to create a test course of one semester duration on DC-to-DC converters with great success.
