Remote learning has been more prevalent now more than ever due to the current pandemic. The goal of this project is to create a recommendation for our sponsor, OST Buchs, with a way to easily integrate a remote technical course. This recommendation also includes ways for this to be done in developing countries at the graduate level. The results of this project show that the platforms we recommend are not a “cure-all” solution for a remote technical course, but merely take into account the needs of students and professors. The recommendation for developing countries took many factors into consideration in order to provide platforms that best suit their limitations. A general standpoint was also taken so that other universities can take our recommendations for their personal use.
