In a remote laboratory, the user performs a real experiment without being in front of the equipment, performing remote experiments mediated by the Internet. Remote Laboratories: Empowering STEM Education with Technology is the first book to cover this radical redistribution of experimentation capacity as a whole.This book also covers using remote experiments in the classroom, the advantages of remote experimentation, the challenges faced, and opportunities for innovation when using a remote lab.The book characterizes and explains remote experiments and connects them with the curricula of subjects and prospects for teaching/learning scenarios. It further provides evidence for the positive effect of remote experimentation in the student learning process. This coverage is supplemented by an exhaustive list of remote experiments conducted around the world.

In 2006, the Signal Processing Department at Blekinge Institute of Technology and Axiom EduTECH in Sweden worked with National Instruments Corporation in Texas, USA, to set up the Virtual Instrument Systems in Reality (VISIR) Project, which operates as a remote laboratory for electric and electronic circuits.The VISIR remote laboratory is currently the only system that delivers practical experiments with electronics without the need to go to a traditional lab. This is of increasing importance given the expansion of online education. There is a mass of scientific literature that collects results on the use of VISIR remote laboratory, however, there are few reference works that provide an in-depth exploration of the laboratory's performance and potential.VISIR Handbook acts as a guide for users, demonstrating many of the real (remote) experiments that can be achieved and replicated with this laboratory. Most importantly, this book demonstrates how VISIR can be used as a learning tool for students. The approach of the book is designed on two levels, with an administrator/researcher approach and a teacher/student approach.

En esta nueva edición el libro se ha reformado totalmente: se han añadido ejercicios aclaratorios en cada capítulo, los contenidos se han reducido y adaptado a las nuevas exigencias educativas, los capítulos tecnológicos se han rehecho al completo, se ha añadido un apéndice con ejercicios especialmente dedicados al aula y se ha rediseñado el aspecto de la obra. El libro incluye la descripción y uso del software educativo gratuito y asegura al profesor y al alumno una fácil comprensión de conceptos y habilidades no cubiertos por otros programas software (diagramas de V-K, expresiones booleanas, autómatas de Moore y Mealy, etc.).
