Abstract

In recent years, remote and virtual laboratories have been developed in order to provide a high quality learning experience despite a lack of financial or infrastructural resources. Due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic the need for remote laboratories and other remote learning technologies has increased significatively. These remote technologies may be used to substitute or complement a learning experience in the classroom. This paper examines the results of employing a remote laboratory developed at Tecnológico de Monterrey to conduct laboratory activities in the subjects of electronics and automatic control. The impact of the developed remote laboratory in the learning experience of senior mechatronics engineering students was measured by two instruments. The first instrument measures how transferable are the skills developed in the remote setting to a in-person setting. The second instrument measures the receptiveness of the student to the execution of the activity in the remote setting.
