Virtual laboratories, an educational resource as a strategy for quality education

Abstract

Virtual laboratories are considered the simulation of a real laboratory, where the behavior of a certain is studied using mathematical models, and although it does not interact physically with the processes or systems, experimentation with simulated models it is comparable to reality. The objective is to recognize the benefits that virtual laboratories offer the student, as a tool in problem solving, linking theory with practice, and developing teamwork, all within distance learning. Therefore, a compilation of different sources of information regarding virtual laboratories was made, where it is stated that the interviewees who make use of this tool for their learning obtained a favorable response by identifying that they develop skills that prepare them for their experimental participation in a future. Therefore, it is considered a strategy for quality teaching.
