In addition, remote laboratories must be used through a computerconnected to the Internet, and this allows the use of advanced features that enhance the learningexperience -- thus richer learning experiences can be created. Furthermore, from a pedagogicalpoint of view, these remote laboratories open new fields of innovation based on the developmentof different competencies and, by involving parents, new
