2. UNEDLabs
• Network of VRLs in different fields: Physics,
Control Engineering, etc.
• Based on Moodle
• Uses EJS to build the VRLs and the EJSApp
plugins to integrate them into the LMS
• Documentation, communication channels,
quizzes…

3. New remote labs: diffraction
Objective:
To study two levels of profundization of the
diffraction images produced by several diffractive
objects:
• Determine the size of the diffractive objects
• Check the diffraction theory

4. Conclusions
•
UNEDLabs is a network of collaborative VRLs.
•
UNEDLabs already has several automatic control VRLs and a
few more about Physics.
•
Three new RLs are being prepared to be integrated into the
UNEDLabs network (VLs too):
• Vibrating strings
• Photoelectric effect
• Diffraction
•
All these new VRLs will automatically obtain extended
capabilities when used within the UNEDLabs web portal.
