Abstract
During the COVID-19 pandemic practical activities for undergraduate students have been severely disrupted. Activities in the field of computing, control, electrical and electronic engineering at the University of Sheffield have been taught during the autumn term of 2020/2021 academic year through socially distanced in-lab sessions, remote access to in-lab equipment, take-home kits, and other online methods. Students were asked to leave feedback for each activity using an anonymous online questionnaire, designed to capture their perceptions on their learning experience. Based on the responses received, a number of recommendations have been formulated to help practical educators make decisions on the modes of delivery of certain activities and for certain student cohorts, when pivoting to increased distance learning. Students indicated they would prefer to conduct some activities using take-home kits in the future, paving the way for beneficial long-term changes to the delivery of some practical activities beyond the times of the pandemic.
