K1 federation of remote laboratories K1 PILAR K1 remote laboratory K1 VISIR K1 RLMS AB New social learning demands are fostered bycontinuous learning culture and self-learning environments.This demanding scenario requires ubiquitous educationalenvironments without temporal restrictions. For these reasons,educational institutions increasingly rely on remote laboratories(RLs) as educational tools in order to provide real-worldexperiences in science education. RLs present several advantagesto students which have been widely reported. Although quitepowerful, RLs have intrinsically some drawbacks. While some ofthese drawbacks are inherent to the remote interaction and cannotbe addressed, such as the impossibility to provide manual skill,many others derive from technical constraints. Traditionally, theapproach to deal with these limitations on the performance isbased on the redesign and improvement of the RL. However, dueto the number of operating systems, an alternative approach isopen for a RL: Virtual Instruments System in Reality (VISIR).VISIR is a RL designed to construct and test electrical/electroniccircuits. The possibility of building a federation of VISIRnodes emerged from the actual needs detected by the VISIRcommunity. In this paper, we describe a federation of VISIRnodes reporting the architecture implemented for the federationand the integration of the resulting federated resources into thedifferent learning environments provided by the institutions totheir students YR 2019 FD 2019 LK http://riull.ull.es/xmlui/handle/915/40360 UL http://riull.ull.es/xmlui/handle/915/40360 LA es DS Repositorio institucional de la Universidad de La Laguna RD 28-dic-2024
