Abstract

We are introducing a really integrated system for Computer-based Experimental Science Learning which contains all the required hardware and software components. Unlike simulation systems, our system allows for the possibility of performing real laboratory experiments. The system has a multilevel structure, separating in each level the corresponding physical and logical components, allowing the use of several educational techniques and methodologies: Discovery Learning, Distance and Cooperative Learning.
