This document summarizes a presentation given by Manuel Castro at the Final Conference of the MUREE project at Princess Sumaya University of Technology in Jordan on September 29, 2015. The presentation discussed how education is evolving with new learning technologies, the importance of practical competences in engineering education, and the development of remote laboratories for renewable energy education. Key points included the progression from learning objects to open courseware to MOOCs, the integration of virtual and remote labs into engineering curricula, and the need for renewable energy education to work towards a more sustainable world.

Learning Object: IEEE Standard (educational object)
Metadata must include all the information the user must need
Learning object repositories are the best way to share knowledge
(UNED repository, MERLOT, etc.)
Learning objects are the best way to solve:
• Interoperability
• Reusability
• Automatic updates
• Personalization

Open Course Ware: MIT idea expanded to the world (course content)
Main objective was to offer learning materials to the Society in an
open way at no aditional cost
