News from the project
Welcome to this 6th e-LIVES newsletter.
The current pandemic situation affected some of the activities planned under the e-LIVES project.
The first main change was the extension of the project by one more year, so the completion date moved from 14 October 2020 to 14 October 2021.
The second main change was the postponement by one year of the final dissemination activities of the project, the National Dissemination Workshops, and the e-Engineering conference. The hope was to be able to hold them in person, a goal that proved not to be feasible.
Thus, between the end of May and the end of July, we will have online the four National Dissemination Workshops, one for each partner country of the project, Algeria, Jordan, Morocco, and Tunisia, and the e-Engineering’2021 conference.
Information about all these events may be found on the project page and the conference page for the e-Engineering’2021 conference. Participation in all these events is free. Only authors of accepted papers must pay a small publication processing fee.

The INTERNATIONAL e-ENGINEERING EDUCATION SERVICES CONFERENCE (e-ENGINEERING’2021) is the world’s premier forum dedicated to presenting and discussing e-Engineering courses implementation. The conference takes place between the 22nd and 23rd of June, 2021, and will be an entirely online event. The participation is free, except for paper authors of accepted papers. Three invited speakers are confirmed:
All three well-known for their extensive work in the e-learning and remote laboratories fields. Do not miss this event. Just go to the registration page at the e-Engineering’2021 webpage. A great event is waiting for you. |
National Dissemination WorkshopsThe focuses of the National Dissemination Workshops is the pedagogical and practical aspects related to the implementation and running of e-Engineering courses. The workshops include lectures, training sessions, and practical work demonstrations. The target audience is educational authorities, professors, technicians, and administrative staff from higher education institutions, but it is opened to all people interested in this theme. The National Dissemination Workshops will take place on different dates and are organized by the e-LIVES partner countries:
The workshops are run entirely online. Participation is free, but registration is mandatory. Workshop programs and further information are available on the Workshops’ registration page. |
Best Practices in e-EngineeringThe National University of Distance Education (UNED), an e-LIVES partner, has produced twelve videos, one dedicated to present the e-LIVES project and the others to the good practices in the design and implementation of e-Engineering courses. An initial video summarises these good practices, which are covered in more detail in the following videos. The aspects covered range from pedagogical strategies, organizational models, course support platforms, development of remote laboratories, staff training to administrative ones, legal and financial.
The videos presented by Manuel Castro, professor at the UNED, are available at the e-LIVES Good Practices Video Presentations webpage. These videos complement the Good Practices Guides available to download from the e-LIVES Good Practices Guides webpage. |

e-Engineering is a concept that results from the concatenation of two previous ideas: e-learning and remote laboratories. The objective of the e-Engineering Alliance is to disseminate that concept, demonstrating its importance for the development of higher education and lifelong learning training, and to help Universities build innovative e-Engineering courses by themselves in a sustainable way. The e-Engineering Alliance promotes the transfer of the knowledge necessary for Universities to create their e-Engineering courses. These are online engineering courses in the electrical and electronics field based on established e-learning concepts and remote laboratories specially designed to support the students’ acquisition of practical skills in the studied subjects. e-Engineering Alliance assistance comprises helping Universities build a curriculum, obtain the course national accreditation, train teachers and technicians, create contents, design and develop a remote laboratory, and perform their quality assessment. The long-lasting purpose of the e-Engineering Alliance is to generate in Universities a more committed and professional environment ready to introduce new forms of flexible learning into daily training activities and create and manage accredited e-Engineering courses. If you also wish to participate as an active member of the e-Engineering Alliance, please visit the Alliance’s web page and register as a member. Membership is totally free. The e-Engineering Alliance is a Special Interest Group (SIG) inside the International Association of Online Engineering (IAOE). |
