Today´s computer science and electrical engineering industries are characterized by rapidly occurring innovations and a continuous advancement of existing technologies. Therefore it is quite a challenge for higher education institutions, especially the vocational ones, to keep up with the high pace of technological innovation. Vocational education in the engineering fields has to be made more attractive for young people and feasible to full-time employees in order to maintain European leadership in product development. For vocational education institutions the main problems are the availability of (often expensive) up-to-date laboratory hardware as well as ICT-based learning materials for the classes, the lack of qualified teachers, and insufficient space in classes for capacious equipment. The project VAPVoS provided a web platform to encourage a remote sharing of expensive lab equipment via the internet. Within the VAPVoS platform real hardware labs as well as virtualized experiments and didactical materials can be shared among different institutions all over Europe. The main concepts that have been transferred, are the Distance Lab idea, Virtual Micro-Controller (VMCU) and the Network of Excellence, all of which are results of former LEONARDO DA VINCI projects. The results from these projects were successfully transferred to vocational schools in Germany, Estonia and Finland and combined to a collaborative learning platform. The major achievement is the consolidation of results from the mentioned projects to one platform.
