Development of remote laboratories oriented to virtual environment

Abstract

This article shows the process of designing a system of workbenches for laboratory practices oriented to virtual environments by using remote instrumentation techniques.. The process was linked to a Research process in an Instrumentation Research Seeder in the Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios, Colombian University. The document also presents the design process from the concept generation and Embodiment Design to the construction of a Basic Electronics Functional Prototype, including a remote access, and a trainer. One of the most important conclusion of the project points to the fact that the Remote Laboratories system is a very powerful didactic tool, not only in Virtual Education Processes, but also it will be used in a lot of academic environments.
