“…However, in the authors' experiences, it seems that plagiarism is not dependent of the university or country but rather class sizes and quality of students [9]. Maintaining low teaching staff-to-students ratio and performing competency test before entry into a course seem to suppress plagiarism.…”

The integration of Information & Communication Technologies (ICT) and Education has been considered the main key to human progress. The aim of ICT is to transfer advances in sciences and technology for the socio-economic development, industrialization and modernization of the country to promote international co-operation in ICT to bring into a country the latest achievements of the world's science and technology. Education institutions are a vehicle to produce skilled professionals, to close the gap between the developed and developing countries. The application of ICT must be clearly defined to students to use it more effectively. Students often use ICT applications as immediate minders to get results of given tasks such as assignments and project work. ICT should be accessible for students to learn new concepts from a wide range of people, communities and cultures. This paper examines the educational circumstances from the principal author experiences in South-East Asia countries, particularly India, Vietnam and Papua New Guinea. An analysis on students at higher education level who uses ICT as common tools is discussed. And in this context, the current state of ICT at colleges/universities in developing countries, impacts of ICT on teachers and students are discussed.

“…However, these prices are simply not affordable for students or universities in developing countries. So in developing countries, students have simply no access to hardware at home and education hardware kits are often shared between four or five students in a class [8]. Similarly, some students will have Internet access at home or mobile devices, but with low and unreliable bandwidth.…”

“…However, the need is greater in the developing world and at low cost. The ratio of prototyping boards, oscilloscope, frequency generators, computers, and logic analyzer is commonly one to four students or higher [8] in developing nations. Hence, actual 'hands-on' experience for all students may not be equal or even develop.…”

Traditional laboratories are being complemented by virtual and remote laboratories. Students attend traditional laboratories in class and after hours perform experiments remotely, often from their home. There have been several remote laboratories that have been developed for a range of disciplines. This paper proposes a remote laboratory for teaching FPGA and HDL at low cost. The remote laboratory is made of one server and multiple remote hardware sets. Each remote hardware set consists of one control board and at least one FPGA board. The Altera Development and Education (DE) Board is based on the Cyclone II 2C20 FPGA and is physically connected to the control broad. Both boards communicate with a computer server. The control board relays the FPGA inputs/outputs to the server, which in turns sends the status of the outputs to the client over the Internet to visually display the results. Students use a computer client to perform experiments remotely on the FPGA. This architecture is designed to have high scalability and low data bit rate communication link with the average client requiring only a data rate of 450B/s. A FPGA board is planned to be used as a traditional laboratory during day and reassemble with a control board and a server to become a remote laboratory at night.
