Learning Electronics through a Remote Laboratory MOOC

the code at the UNED COMA platform. A good example of
the parameters and aspects to study at the MOOC is the
work of (Kizilcec et al, 2013) that explores many different
learning analytics aspects. In that sense, our department
has begun a project with the UNED COMA developers
to build much more agents inside the platform to obtain
these data.
As for future works, UNED COMA is going to open
the MOOC again in November, with some of the cited
improvements in place. Also we are developing the same
MOOC in English, trying to repeat the same ‘experiment’
but at a worldwide level.
Finally, for taking advantage of the work done, and following
the SPOC idea, we are developing a similar MOOC,
but with a much more advanced set of practices for doing
real practices for power electronics.
