Cover Story: Engineering education depends heavily on practical experimentation, yet access to traditional laboratories is often limited by space, scheduling, or resource constraints. The Virtual Instrument Systems in Reality (VISIR), an established online system for teaching electronics and electrical circuits, offers a solution that enables real experiments to be performed over the internet. The VISIR remote laboratory is examined through a literature review and the authors’ own experience, identifying restrictions that affect, among others, its scalability, interoperability, and adaptation to new technologies. Based on these findings, concrete enhancements to modernize the system are proposed while preserving its core infrastructure. The conclusions aim to guide the development and adoption of more robust and accessible remote laboratories. View this paper
