When the pandemic made in-person instruction impossible, I built a remote learning environment so distributed students could access LabVIEW software and physical hardware from anywhere. The setup combined Google Meet for live instruction, AWS Workspaces for virtual desktops running licensed NI software, and camera feeds pointed at actual lab equipment. The interesting problem wasn’t the video call — it was giving students real interaction with physical instruments and FPGA hardware when they couldn’t be in the room. It was a pandemic-era education innovation that worked well enough to keep a robotics program running when everything else was shutting down.
