Abstract
Remote laboratory facilities have been accessible from the internet for more than a decade. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, remote laboratories have become an option for technical and vocational schools and high schools to continue the laboratory learning process. The biggest challenge in implementing remote laboratories is the physical equipment and assessment of the facility. Not only technical support but also usability and support for students should be considered. On the technical side, the physical equipment must be fully controlled independently by the student. The remote laboratory performance was tested using the Web Applications Performance Test (WAPT) tool. Questionnaires for students were used to determine the ease of use and accessibility of the application of this laboratory. This research found that the software and equipment were quite good in the remote laboratory that was being developed. Likewise, the control on the student side is also well accessible. There is a significant weakness that one user can only use this remote laboratory at a time. It cannot be multi-user at a time.
