In this work, audiovisual guides for laboratory classes on hydraulic machinery in distance learning engineering programs are developed and evaluated. The aim of these guides, which can be viewed directly within the virtual classroom via computer, tablet or mobile phone, is to provide students with an accurate knowledge of the tasks they will have to perform and of the equipment they will handle during the laboratory classes, in order to make the best possible use of the available time during the lab sessions. A key aspect in the development of the guides was to achieve a final format with a relative small size and, at the same time, a reasonable good image and sound quality. In addition, the guide is intended to provide the learner with the highest possible degree of self-sufficiency. The efficiency of the guides is assessed by means of the results of questionnaires answered by students before starting the laboratory classes and by analyzing the development of the lab sessions.
