A remote experiment is a real experiment with real laboratory instruments and equipment that can be controlled by a computer through the internet. [1] [2] One or more remote experiments are accessible in remote laboratory. [3] [4]
Remotely controlled experiments have become a widespread tool for teaching physics at the university level of education. When executing remote experiments the remote users can change system parameters, observe results in graphical form and/or by video transmission from webcam, and download the experimental results. Sometimes a booking system is available for remote experiments that allows the users to book time for access of remote experiment in advance. [5] User operates remote experiment via graphical user interface. Remote experiments are positively evaluated by the learners. [6]
When compared to simulations in virtual laboratories and to experiments in the traditional laboratories, remotely controlled experiments have following advantages:
Remote experiments are a powerful technology which can be implemented in distance education to provide the learner hands-on experience. Remote experiments can be especially valuable for some groups of users:
