Remote experiment

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]
