virtual laboratory for teaching integrated circuit design

This book proposes the creation of a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) called CloudLab with the Virtual Laboratory (VL) functionality integrated to it. The main forum is the distance training of computing and engineering students in the Hardware area, aiming to meet the needs of teaching and research institutions. CloudLab has important features such as remote access to project tools with tutoring and monitoring of the teacher, file management, viewing videos and images from social networks, as well as interpersonal communication through asynchronous messages. A practical experiment was carried out with students of Computer Science, which demonstrated the effectiveness of the system and its acceptance by the students and teachers involved.
