Testimonials


This is a REAL FPGA programming experience. Students write code in an integrated design environment. Then they download their programs to a real FPGA and see it operating in real time!

Associate Professor, Engineering Technology and Surveying Engineering Department
New Mexico State University

A cost-effective and practical solution to real hands-on learning environment for engineering and technology teachers and students.

Dr. Oscar A. Rodriguez, PhD
Associate Professor of EET and Program Director, Department of Engineering & Technology
Southern Utah University

We use Labsland in conjunction with our in person labs. Before students needed to come to open hours for additional lab time.  Now they have essentially unlimited access to our lab kits. Remote support is easy by simply sharing the Labsland screen via video conferencing. Labsland has allowed us to expand our support model with remote support and 24/7 access to the lab

Adjunct Assistant Professor, Senior Engineer, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
University of Michigan

Remote labs bridge the times before and after COVID-19 in engineering education. A sustainable and cost efficient solution that connects hardware labs located in different places worldwide, which promotes a global sense of community

Dr. Rania Hussein
Assistant Teaching Professor, Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering
University of Washington

With the LabsLand FPGA remote-lab I could immediately switch to online-teaching for my digital design lab exercises. We use videoconferences to support students and when they share their screen we can look at the code, error messages and the behavior of the digital circuit.

LabsLand is a great way for students to do FPGA programming on real hardware from home, without the fear of breaking things.

Docent, Embedded Systems and Automation (HBO-ICT)
Hogeschool Windesheim,
Netherlands

In LabsLand, I could use existing LabsLand labs but also co-create the FPGA laboratory (awarded), in a way that our students can use the laboratories physically located at UPNA, and also the same type of laboratory located in other universities. It is very comfortable to use: you just need the web browser and you access directly from Sakai.

Professor, Departamento de Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica
Universidad Pública de Navarra,
Spain

I've used the LabsLand FPGA and Arduino labs in online courses and I'm very happy with the solution. You know they're going to work, no matter when you use it or with how many students. And you don't have the hassles of installing tools or depending on having the equipment next to each student.

Pedro Plaza
Moderator of the Spanish Chapter, IEEE Student Branch
UNED,
Spain

I have used the LabsLand FPGA laboratory and it has been very comfortable: students would directly access from Moodle without registration, write their VHDL code, synthesize and immediately see how their code worked in a real laboratory through the Internet, in real time, and only using their web browser.

Manuel Rodriguez Valido
Professor, Tecnología Electrónica
Universidad de La Laguna,
Spain

Thanks to the LabsLand laboratories we could bring our code from a simulation to a real environment. Some of our students are late evening students (studying mostly at night), who could only access the equipment in the class time, but now they can test their codes anytime anywhere.

Camilo Cano Vásquez
Assistant Lecturer
Universidad El Bosque,
Colombia

The use of the remote FPGA laboratory provided by LabsLand's infrastructure has allowed the development of digital circuit projects inside and outside the classroom, allowing students to work longer and improve their own projects, towards more learning meaningful, experiential, and student-centered.

Tiago de Oliveira
Associate professor, Instituto de Ciência e Tecnologia
UNIFESP,
Brazil

I conduct a large laboratory course (VLSI Design Lab, 100 senior / postgrad / DD students ). We can get the students to prototype, verify interesting lab-tasks during common laboratory hours as well as offline hours too. The facility scales very well even with simultaneous usage by a hundred students.

Dr. Sanchin B. Patkar
Professor, Department of Electrical Engineering
IIT Bombay,
India

LabsLand remote labs on FPGA helped me in delivering courses through online mode without compromising on learning outcomes. I was surprised to see my students used LabsLand for 24 hours round the clock and impacted in solving challenging exam questions in finals. I strongly believe that the LabsLand labs are a fantastic online tool for students to gain enhanced learning experience in related engineering fields.

Assoc. Professor., Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering
School of Engineering, Monash University Malaysia,

LabsLand is a fabulous and effective solution for the extraordinary situation during the COVID-19 pandemic. LabsLand provides REAL practical experience with a simple visual and interactive user interface. Our pleased experience with FPGA and Arduino robot labs encourages others to extend the experience to other fields at Tafila Technical University.
