The isolation situation caused by the COVID 19 pandemic necessitated a shift to pedagogical interaction from a distance for kindergarten teachers as well. At first, for many of us, „distance learning“ seemed a daunting task. Accustomed to usiAng approaches based on games, projects, hand and body work, keeping children away and communicating at a distance, it required finding alternative ways to tackle this challenge. How did we make distance learning work in kindergartens as well? The good shared experience in Bulgaria and around the world helped the educators to find an approach to the parents in order to continue the children’s education together, while remaining true to what the children love the most – to play.

Distance-learning has become widespread around the world. Many training areas such as engineering require the acquisition of practical rather than theoretical knowledge. In this paper, a framework is presented in the form of four pilot projects which is used for practical laboratory measurements in a distance-learning environment. Four demonstration devices consisting of an induction motor drivetrain, a magnetorheological clutch as well as a rolling resistance and an ultrasonicsensor were built and several examples of measurements presented.The system, based on accessible and user-friendly hardware, is cost-effective, simple to program and can be adapted to suit any application.
