ECOIMPACT participated in CALMet Online 2016 – free online meteorological training event hosted by EUMETSAT. The topic was “Online experimentation – emerging technologies and the Internet of Things (IOT)”. The ECOIMPACT contributed with a series of presentations and a Live Session facilitated by Alexey Umnov (Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny Novgorod, Russia); Ricardo Costa (Polytechnic Institute of Porto, Portugal); Vladimir Chukin and Eduard Podgaiskii (both Russian State Hydrometeorological University, St Petersburg, Russia).

 

Workshop “Online experimentation – emerging technologies and internet of things (IOT)”
3-7 October 2016

Live Session: Tuesday 4 October 09:30 UTC by Ricardo Costa on experiments using Remote labs for online education.

Facilitators: Alexey Umnov (N. I. Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny Novgorod, Russia); Ricardo Costa (Polytechnic Institute of Porto, Portugal); Vladimir Chukin (Russian State Hydrometeorological University, St Petersburg, Russia); Eduard Podgaiskii (Russian State Hydrometeorological University, St Petersburg, Russia)

Introduction: The usual challenge for meteorological online learning is how laboratory experiences, particularly those that require access to physical equipment, can be accommodated within the online courses. The proposed session benefits from two approaches: experience of a state-of-the-art remote laboratory project called Virtual Instrument Systems in Reality (VISIR), and potential use of wireless smart sensor networks in environmental monitoring and education.

What you can expect from this session 

This CALMet Online session will give you an opportunity to hear, learn and reflect on how the online training can take advantage of the state-of-the-art remote laboratories and innovative solutions in environmental monitoring and education.
