Distance education as well as remote experimentation, is a modern field that aims to deliver education to students who are not physically present on their class or their testbed instrumentation. Nowadays, more and more students and educators/instructors rather than attending courses in person, communicate with the educational material at times of their own through Internetbased technologies and services that allows them to interact in real time or in an asynchronous mode. Remote access is simplified, since Internet allows computer users to connect to other computers and information is stored and processed easily, wherever they may be across the world. This paper provides a straightforward categorization of remote experimentations in Education according to the platform used as the medium for conducting the experiments and the scientific field in which they apply to. This contribution aims to be a starting point to those interested in entering the world of remote experiments, by presenting work from 2005 up to date.

This paper describes the development and testing of a web-based remote laboratory for performing experiments in basic electrical engineering courses. The prototype experiments are from a variety of courses including circuit analysis, logic design, analog electronics, digital electronics, and industrial control. In addition to observing the waveforms and reading the measured voltage and current values, the remote user can also change certain parameters of the experiment such as signal frequency, amplitude, gain, and digital inputs. A digital camera in the laboratory provides the remote user updated video images of the experimental setup. Audio instructions about the selected experiment are also provided. Some test results are described and limitations of the presented laboratory setup are discussed.

“…A third solution employed in many universities is to offer real-time practical exercises that can be performed by remote control. [14][15][16][17][18] This approach became popular as the Internet and its applications grew. Internet control of specific laboratory practicals has developed in many areas of engineering education, including both electrical engineering and mechanical engineering.…”

Ben Horan completed his Ph.D. in 2009 in the robotics and haptics research field. His current research interests include haptic interfacing, human robotic interaction, and mobile robotics. He is currently a lecturer in the School of Engineering, Deakin University, where he teaches various electronics and robotics units. Ms. Robynne Hall, Deakin University Robynne Hall spent 13 years in the photographic industry designing cutting edge commercial print laboratories throughout Australia, maintaining and teaching silver halide and digital printing machines. As a mature age student, she returned to study and in 2002 completed an advanced diploma in electronics. She has since spent 12 months at the Gordon Institute of Technology in Geelong as a Laboratory Technician and tutor. During the past eight years, Hall has been at Deakin University as the Technical Officer for electronics playing a pivotal role in developing new units, assisting research projects and working with undergraduates.
