Abstract

The paper presents a remotely accessible laboratory for real-time electric and electronic measurement experiments, distributed on geographical scale and accessible to users through common Web browsers. The remote laboratory is part of an innovative platform for distance learning including a traditional Learning Management System and innovative modules enabling the learners to control real instrumentation. The paper describes the platform structure and its innovative functionalities in comparison with classical web-based training systems focusing, in particular, on a set of hardware components designed to emulate the electronic measurement instrumentation. Such components are used to teach the learners how to create their own test benches. The correctness of the connection scheme, remotely set by the learners, is automatically verified, in real-time, by a specific module of the e-learning platform.
