The EOLES project Remote Labs across the Mediterranean

Abstract : This paper describes the concept, methodology and first steps of a EU supported TEMPUS project named EOLES (Electronics and Optics e-Learning for Embedded Systems). Its objective is the creation of a 3rd year Bachelor degree that relies exclusively on e-learning and remote laboratories. The project involves 15 institutions from four European countries and three North African countries. The proposed course will be run from several institutions simultaneously and should be accredited as a formal specialization year in all partner institutions, awarding 60 ECTS credits. The course will integrate a Virtual Learning Environment and a Distributed Laboratory.
