Current developments in information and communication technology (ICT) can be
successfully embedded in the pedagogical design of engineering laboratories. This can open
new horizons in the learning experience and widen participation. The development of virtual
and remote laboratories are examples of embedding modern ICT in education which are
becoming more and more widely accepted in engineering education. This workshop aims to
corroborate the impact of virtual and remote laboratories on the development of knowledge
and transferable skills in engineering students. The workshop will commence with
introductions to the concepts of remote and virtual laboratories describing the pedagogical
framework that supports the applications of these technologies to traditional and nontraditional student
