Abstrakt
This article describes some initiatives which are being developed in the Electronics Department at the University of Alcalá, and the IT & Technical Education Department, Faculty of Education at Charles University in Prague, to combine on-site, traditional education with online, distance e-learning for technical degrees. The works are being carrying out in the areas of electronics and IT, more specifically in the matters of electronics instrumentation, and optics / photonics.
The actions currently being implemented try to provide the student a way to virtually simulate the practice he will be facing with, prior to going to the real lab session; on a second stage (which is not implemented yet), the student will be able to perform remotely from home some of the current lab sessions. A survey has been carried out among the students to detect their potential interest in this type of combined teaching system.
The overall results, as described in this work, show the wide appreciation for such initiatives.
