Abstract

Emerging technologies provide the necessary support to develop online educational modules with online experiments through web platforms for educational and training frameworks. Combining design techniques and virtual and augmented reality, templates, contents and interfaces could improve users´ analytical capabilities of perception and cognition, and allowing the development of more attractive online courses, while promoting the learning process. This paper briefly describes some relevant aspects of the platform flock.uc.pt under development, including some application examples. The authors intend to demonstrate the main characteristics of this platform, presenting some online educational modules with online experiments, including interaction through haptic devices.
