Modern educational methods bring many new challenges from the pedagogical, as well as from the technical aspect. One of the more significant is the integration of information and communication technology into the educational process. These is particularly noticeable in the engineering education where the requests of the industry for a faster and more efficient acquisition of knowledge and practical skills lead to a constant search for new solutions in the learning process which would attract and motivate students, as well as be user friendly. This is especially difficult to be reached with the practical education which is usually composed of laboratory exercises that are bound to a specific time and place. One of the possible solutions are the remote laboratories which offer the possibility of the implementation of real remote laboratory experiments in the educational institutionsć laboratories and, therefore, enhance the studentsć knowledge and capability for dealing with some technical problems without the need for their physical presence in the laboratory. In the article, the example of a successful implementation of the remote laboratory in the field of engineering, developed and operating in the Moodle environment, is presented. The laboratory does not only represent the framework for the experiment implementation, but it also offers courses with complete documentation, therefore courses can be performed on distance. As an example, the case of the most widely used course from remote laboratory is presented, i.e., the ĆControl of nonlinear mechanismĆ course. Special attention is given to the description of the booking process for remote experiments, the execution of remote experiments and the applied user interface. The evaluation of the interface usability from the point of view of end users was performed via the acknowledged SUMI method. Additionally, another questionnaire was prepared in order to investigate the studentsć opinion about working in the remote laboratory. The results have shown that the presented remote laboratory is user friendly and accepted by both teachers and students as a suitable and interesting supplement to the conventional laboratory exercises.Sodobni izobraževalni procesi prinašajo s seboj nove pedagoške in tehnične izzive, pri čemer je posebej zahtevna učinkovita integracija informacijske in komunikacijske tehnologije v učne procese. Zaradi zahtev in potreb industrije po hitrejšem in učinkovitejšem pridobivanju praktičnih izkušenj se iščejo nove rešitve, ki bi pritegnile in motivirale študente za dodatno pridobivanje znanja. Ti procesi so posebej izraziti pri poučevanju tehnike. Največjo težavo pri tem predstavlja izvajanje laboratorijskih vaj, ki zahtevajo uporabnikovo prisotnost v laboratoriju. Ena od rešitev so oddaljeni laboratoriji, ki nudijo izvajanje laboratorijskih eksperimentov preko spleta, kar zmanjša potrebnost neposredne fizične prisotnosti študentov in povečuje možnosti za izboljšanje znanja študentov za reševanje določenih tehniških problemov. V članku je predstavljen primer uspešne izvedbe oddaljenega laboratorija za področje tehnike skupaj s tečajem, ki deluje v okolju Moodle. Podrobneje je opisan tečaj "Vodenje nelinearnega mehanizma". Laboratorij namreč ne predstavlja samo orodja za izvajanje oddaljenih eksperimentov, pač pa ponuja celotne tečaje s popolno dokumentacijo, ki omogoča učenje na daljavo. Posebej je izpostavljen postopek prijavljanja na izvajanje oddaljenih eksperimentov ter sama izvedba vaje skupaj z opisom grafičnega uporabniškega vmesnika. Izvedena je bila tudi evaluacija s priznano metodo SUMI za ocenjevanje uporabniške prijaznosti sistema. Prav tako se je ugotavljal odziv študentov na delo z oddaljenim laboratorijem. Rezultati raziskav so pokazali, da je v delu predstavljen oddaljeni laboratorij ustrezno uporabniško prijazen in s strani študentov in učiteljev sprejet kot primerna in zanimiva dopolnitev klasičnih laboratorijskih vaj
