e-Engineering Learning, Teaching and Training at UNED

Abstract

The Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED, Spanish University for Distance Education) methodology and model require learning/teaching/training resources to be adapted. Since its creation, the UNED has fostered the integration of new tools and the improvement of the existing ones into learning/teaching/training. Therefore, once ICTs burst into our society, the use of ICT, both as a support to the processes of educational management and administration and the teaching and learning activities, turned into a primary aim for UNED. These efforts have promoted the development of new tools allowing the expansion of the services offered in order to strengthen the teaching and learning processes. One of these tools has been remote labs. UNED’s experience in e-learning and distance learning environments has assimilated easily these practical tools and valued them.
