Abstract :
Remote experiments are currently being performed on mobile devices. The intention of combining mobility and remote experimentation is to minimize the space-time barrier, providing students with faster access to information to continue their technology and engineering studies. The architecture of the technologies presented in this paper has been implemented based on the integration of a learning management system (Moodle), 3D virtual worlds (3Di-OpenSim), and remote experiments. The resources are all based on open source and hardware provided by the Laboratory of Remote Experimentation of Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Brazil.
