Conducting remote laboratory‐based courses in electronics is a major challenge primarily because of the hardware requirements This paper describes a laboratory course on information display technologies specially designed and implemented for remote learning The course was successfully offered during the COVID‐19 lockdown and has an online instruction component to introduce the concepts, as well as a laboratory part involving hands‐on work The course covers experiments on fundamental concepts related to perception and color, liquid crystal displays (LCD), light‐emitting diodes (LEDs), and a final project where a mechanical display is designed and built Course assessment based on an anonymous survey shows the hands‐on work enhanced the student learning and improved course understanding from an average of 2 5/5 measured at the start of the course to 4/5 at the end [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] Copyright of Journal of the Society for Information Display is the property of Wiley-Blackwell and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission However, users may print, download, or email articles for individual use This abstract may be abridged No warranty is given about the accuracy of the copy Users should refer to the original published version of the material for the full abstract (Copyright applies to all Abstracts )
