Expanding the Boundaries of the Classroom: Implementation of Remote Laboratories for Industrial Electronics Disciplines

An Integrated Example of Laboratories as a Service into Learning Management Systems

“…A more detailed review on the integration and interoperability of remote laboratories can nowadays be found in [11] and [12]. A different approach for the integration of remote laboratories into a learning process is based on the extension of well-known learning contents standards, such as SCORM and IMS.…”

Usability Evaluation of a Control and Programming Environment for Programming Education

“…The installation of video cameras in the laboratory allows the user accompany real-time execution of the experiment. Modern remote laboratories use architecture based on the client-server paradigm and have a typical set of components: the controlled object (experiment, instrument or experimental model); equipment and instrument devices that allow data acquisition and control; lab server computer that provides control and monitoring of the experiment; the server that connects via the Internet between remote users and the laboratory server; the web camera server; and a client application that allows the user to access the experiment through a web browser [23,7]. The LARA CPE is a remote laboratory of mobile robotics integrated into a programming environment.…”

“…They have successfully been used in various disciplines of science and engineering [6,7]. As an educational tool, remote laboratories should enable students to conduct their activities and make all the observations necessary to achieve the learning objectives [8].…”

Laboratory as a Service (LaaS): A model for developing and implementing remote laboratories as modular components

“…In the last decade, we have witnessed a significant proliferation of remote laboratories [1,2], unconstrained by temporal or geographical considerations, in all fields of education-particularly engineering and applied science education-thanks to the exponential revolution of digital technologies. Initial concerns were focused on expanding their application range and dealt with commonplace issues such as security, scheduling, and bandwidth, which eventually, and to a great extent, have been overcome.…”
