Jain, Prashant K.; Gu, Yuxiang; Rizwan-uddin – Advances in Engineering Education, 2008
Internet extends the reach of existing laboratory and training infrastructure to beyond the walls of such facilities. Though nothing can replace the hands-on experience in a laboratory; a carefully developed web-based digital lab may be the next best thing. In some cases, there may be benefits associated with a "distance laboratory" that…
