Abstract

The necessity to integrate virtual laboratories into the study process is becoming more significant, especially in pandemic time. Virtual based e-learning is seen as a reliable and effective support of teaching and learning process in different fields of study. The hybrid laboratory GOLDi uses the possibilities of remote and virtual experiments actively. At the same time, the implementation of the new experiment for teaching students in the area of Smart House systems will expand the functionality of the laboratory. The implementation of virtual experiments in the field of home automation systems provides an interactive learning environment that allows to engage students in an active educational process and increase their motivation to study modern information technologies and processes. The paper presents the results of the development of educational virtual environment for learning basics of Smart House systems development and control.
