Mitjan{\c c}ant el present ajut s{\textquoteright}ha ampliat l{\textquoteright}aplicaci{\'o} en xarxa LAVICAD (LAboratori VIrtual de COmunicacions Anal{\`o}giques i Digitals) que s{\textquoteright}ofereix de forma integrada dins de la plataforma d{\textquoteright}e-learning COM@WEB. LAVICAD {\'e}s una eina programada en Java i Matlab i est{\`a} formada per un conjunt de simuladors de la capa f{\'\i}sica de sistemes de comunicacions. Tots els simuladors es presenten en xarxa i es poden utilitzar pels estudiants des de qualsevol ordinador sense necessitat d{\textquoteright}instal{\textperiodcentered}laci{\'o} de cap tipus de software especial. Durant el curs 2007 2008 s{\textquoteright}han desenvolupat entre d{\textquoteright}altres dos l{\'\i}nies de treball. D{\textquoteright}una banda s{\textquoteright}ha programat l{\textquoteright}applet que emula la capa f{\'\i}sica de la televisi{\'o} digital terrestre, com a referent per a l{\textquoteright}ensenyament de sistemes de comunicacions avan{\c c}ats. D{\textquoteright}altra banda s{\textquoteright}ha treballat en la programaci{\'o} de noves funcionalitats de l{\textquoteright}eina LAVICAD, que permeten ajudar als professors en el seguiment i avaluaci{\'o} del treball continuat dels estudiants. En particular s{\textquoteright}ha programat la generaci{\'o} d{\textquoteright}una base de dades que cont{\'e} la informaci{\'o} dels usuaris que s{\textquoteright}han connectat i els resultats obtinguts a l{\textquoteright}executar un determinat simulador. Les dues l{\'\i}nies desenvolupades han de permetre durant l{\textquoteright}actual curs, consolidar l{\textquoteright}{\'u}s dels diferents simuladors per a la doc{\`e}ncia de les assignatures implicades al projecte.

The presented experience consists on the {\textquotedblleft}design of{\textquotedblright} and {\textquotedblleft}experimentation with{\textquotedblright} a virtual laboratory of analog and digital communications: LAVICAD. It has been result a useful tool to verify the performance of different communication systems and signal processing techniques, topics typically integrated in undergraduated courses of the curriculum of telecommunications engineering. The communication systems have been implemented and designed as Java applets and are free access. They can be run at the e-learning platform: comweb.upc.edu. The different communication systems present different levels of user interactivity and when students execute a system integrated in a comweb course, the obtained results can be supervised by the professor as an evaluation and assessment tool. From a pedagogical point of view, the main advantages of using a virtual laboratory supposes, can leads to facilitate the learning of certain matters, acting as a connection between the model of knowledge based on concepts and theories, and their practical understanding and experimentation.\
