Abstract

The Universidad Estatal a Distancia (UNED) in Costa Rica is the public distance-education university in Costa Rica. It has been regularly using different types of remote laboratories since 2017, and is in the process of deploying new remote laboratories, as well as providing high quality simulations for improving the experimentation process in distance education; in the particular fields of Physics and Engineering. LabsLand is the global network of educational real laboratories available online. In 2018, UNED and LabsLand deployed the VISIR electronics remote laboratory in UNED. Since then, at the time of this writing, 167 students have had 979 laboratory sessions, including both in class and in multiple workshops with school teachers and international events with other researchers and professors.
