This platform provides students with a tool (guide prepared as a website) adapted to the context of current electronic media, in a multi-platform web format (PC, mobile, tablet) in an iterative mode. This electronic platform will be able to provide the theoretical fundamentals and measurements for the performance of the demonstration practice, but also images, animations (to support fundamentals) and/or videos explaining the handling of the demonstration practice by specialized professors. This platform offers the opportunity to evaluate the influence of different operation conditions through an immersive simulator that reproduce the experimental installation and the handling devices that the students manipulate in the real demonstration practice in the lab. This platform would also give the opportunity to develop in the same virtual mode other demonstration activities that are not performed in the lab in those experimental set-ups for the limited schedule time of the demonstration practices. On the platform website, students can download or access the practice simulator via the MyApps platform of Rey Juan Carlos University. This simulator is accompanied by a short tutorial video showing how to use the simulator and the operation that they can virtually do to get measurements for application to their calculations. Currently, this electronic platform and simulator has been implemented for three demonstration practices: Head Drop in Pipes, Flow in Open Channel and Wind Tunnel.envirtual laboratorycomputer-based learningexperimental laboratoryfluid mechanicOtherinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess
