2. Internet Technology
Internet technology and its increasing popularity has an enormous impact on education.
Contributed new tools across the range of science and engineering disciplines.
Facilitated the development of additional teaching strategies:
Simulation
Demonstration
Experimentation
Communication, and so on

3. Two approaches to conduct online labs
Virtual labs
Remote labs
Virtual labs are based on software to simulate the lab environment . That means they are dealing with real physical equipment.
Remote lab is an experiment which is conducted and controlled remotely through the Internet.

4. The common technologies used for lab server software development are:
LabVIEW
MatLab
High level programming languages e.g. c#, Java, C++, etc.

5. Common Remote Laboratory Architecture

6. Advantages Increases accessibility to labs.
Improves learning objectives and outcomes to support better learning.
Enhances sharing of knowledge, expertise and experience.
Reduces start-up costs of labs.

7. Disadvantages
Lack of hands on trouble shooting and debugging experience.
Lack of equipment setup experience.

8. Conclusions
The student can book the remote lab, run an experiment and display their results from home.
This technique allows to perform the practice as many times as needed without temporal restrictions and without having to travel to the actual lab centre. 8
