Abstract

The development of technology linked to remote access over the last two decades has allowed for the building and improvement of several remote labs for the teaching of physics, thus promoting their use and making new developments possible.   On the basis of the experience already gained in design, development and use of these resources, it is necessary to know the opinions of experts which make it possible to identify the desirable features of remote labs that guide through the development of new remote access labs. The results shown are the ones obtained from the well-grounded views of experts, regarding the technological and educational features that remote labs for the teaching of physics should have.  These will be useful for the design of a development proposal of a remote lab at Universidad Estatal a Distancia de Costa Rica.
