The Internet technology has provided additional teaching strategies, with online education being one of the most exciting enhancements. A particular challenge for online education in engineering is how to extend the traditional hands-on laboratories to the Internet. Currently, there are two approaches to conducting labs
online, virtual and remote labs. VIRTUAL LAB is based on software to simulate the lab
environment while REMOTE LAB, by definition, is an experiment which is conducted and
controlled remotely through the Internet. These experiments use real components or
instrumentation at a different location from where they are being controlled or
conducted.
Hookes Goals....- Scaling usage of online labs to a large number of
users - Encouraging researchers and universities to
share their labs online - Single sign on to labs at multiple universities
- Allowing universities with diverse network
infrastructures to inter-operate and share
resources. - Allowing Organization and Users to access the laboratory anywhere they are.
