Learning challenges: Remote labs powered by the five senses

This paper discusses and highlights how remotes laboratories can create a more dynamic, organized and open sharing learning environment. A new remote laboratory for physiological data acquisition is used as an example of the potential use of such approach. The presented work explains the first steps on how to integrate students´ sensory experiences in remote laboratories showing its added value in the teaching/learning process. This pilot experience is being developed for the purpose of describing the possible enhancements and as embryo for future educational remote laboratories.
