“…) In 2020, at the "Ramiro de Maeztu" Institute in Madrid, Spain, a remote laboratory called VISIR was implemented to enable students to acquire skills in the handling, calculation, and assembly of rectifier circuits. To achieve this objective, didactic and practical activities were designed using the cognitive-motor model, and students participated in an online course (MOOC) that allowed them to follow the learning experience virtually (Blazquez-Merino et al, 2020. ) In 2020, the Technical University "Gheorghe Asachi" in Romania developed a remote laboratory that studies oscilloscopes.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on education worldwide, prompting the adoption of virtual learning at all educational levels as a solution to overcome distance barriers, providing flexible study schedules and producing digital content to support adaptive learning. Educational institutions quickly adjusted their curriculum to enable uninterrupted learning in response to the new reality. However, implementing virtual education was challenging, particularly in terms of technology accessibility. Not all students had access to appropriate devices and connectivity, leading to a digital divide. Additionally, the lack of face-to-face interaction posed challenges for students as they adjusted to diverse learning platforms and grappled with uncertainties about the pandemic's impact on their future. The isolation also affected curricula, resulting in the cancellation of corporate internships and hands-on activities, particularly in engineering disciplines that rely on practical components. As a result, engineering institutions and educators advocated for methodologies that incorporate virtual and distance learning tools. Two noteworthy alternatives are Virtual Laboratories and Remote Laboratories. Virtual laboratories employ simulators to replicate real environmental conditions, while remote laboratories enable students to manipulate experiments in authentic laboratories via the Internet remotely. This study focuses on developing a remote laboratory for hands-on practices in control engineering, specifically involving a DC motor, using the Internet of Things (IoT) protocol. The laboratory incorporates a motor connected to a development board with MQTT protocol-based messaging services, a lightweight and widely used IoT protocol. The laboratory's web page hosted on the server facilitates data transmission and reception, along with real-time video streaming for users to observe the motor's operation. By using the remote laboratory, students gain access to a standardized control device, enabling the application of theoretical knowledge in control systems. They can experimentally determine system transfer functions through identification or modeling, design controllers, and test them on the physical platform, all from the comfort of their homes. To summarize, remote laboratories have been valuable tools in engineering education, addressing the challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. These laboratories enhance the learning process by providing access to practical experiences and advanced resources, consolidating theoretical concepts, and offering students greater flexibility in their educational journey.
