Digital Platform for Distance and On-site Engineering Learning

This paper considers the experience of elaborating and implementing an on-site and distance practical study of electronics and circuit Engineering in the educational process. Authors provide possibilities of using both distance and on-site laboratory practical works. The paper includes recommendations for choosing hardware-based solutions. It also shows the implemented version of remote user access to individual data of laboratory research, which provides individualization of obtaining experiment data, when using FTP means of data transfer. Data from a remote experiment, in this case, is completely closed from access by third parties, while the teacher is given access to data from experimental studies of all students. The solution was implemented in the LabVIEW platform, as well as the general solution for implementing software access to a remote bench. The paper describes the main elements of the hardware and software system, shows its structure and presents the work examples. It also notes the integration of the LabVIEW software and the Multisim circuit and system simulating platform, which serves to improve the quality of specialists training during distance and on-site practical works. The authors consider several options for conducting distance and on-site laboratory practical works when preparing laboratory layouts for use. The work of students, both distance and on-site, as well as teacher-student interaction, is organized using the MOODLE platform
