abstract

  • The COVID-19 confinement triggered immersive reality technologies within the educational context in Mexico and worldwide. This motivated governments and universities to develop virtual laboratories for distance learning. The educational model at Tecnológico de Monterrey requires the total immersion of students in industry and laboratories. In the context of Mexico, access to laboratories and industry was closed due to government confinement policies, which motivated the generation of solutions based on immersive reality. At the CAETEC (Experimental Agricultural Center of the Tecnológico de Monterrey), taking advantage of the technologies of dairy extraction processes and the generation of data in its life cycle, which goes from the planting of corn to the shipment of milk, projects were generated. Data science and analytics, complemented with the design of immersive reality practices, were used to develop our students' remote learning practices in collaboration with the University of Mälardalen (Sweden) and the University of Mondragón (Vasco Country). The present contribution describes the international collaboration between universities and the private sector to implement virtual laboratories. It describes the design and implementation of methodologies for managing multicultural and multidisciplinary projects. © 2024 by the authors.
