Description: The Experes project, funded by the European Commission under the Erasmus Plus – capacity programme, involves 6 European institutions, 13 Moroccan institutions. It started in October 2015 and it ended in October 2018.  Among the basis of the project we can highlight the following aspects taken from the proposal itself: 

“Information and knowledge technologies have taken on considerable importance in recent years as they save time, reduce space constraints, use of expensive instrumentation, management constraints, etc ... They also offer the possibility to use new flexible and adaptable learning methodologies, taking advantage of the interactive functionality of computer learning devices and therefore also allow collaborative work based on the abundance of information available online. While it is true that there are sites that promote e-learning in the field of theoretical teaching, online scientific experimentation is also a growing phenomenon. This last aspect allows the students to carry out or to follow experiments in remote through a connected device, also in the Moroccan universities of belonging. The main objective of the project is to implement an e-learning platform to support laboratory work in the physical sciences studies. The platform supports different training offers of simulated experiments and allows a higher quality of students' learning because they can repeat virtual experiments as often as necessary, at any time and from any place.” 

The project for the University of Bologna is led by the Department of Education Sciences in collaboration with the Department of Physic.
