Development and Management of a Remote Laboratory in Physics for Engineering Education (E-LAB FSBM)

Abstract

Computer networks associated to more and more interactive applications, and mobile interfaces can favor innovative use in the field of the scientific and technical practical training. Alternatives in the training in traditional such as the remote laboratories can be a contribution to solve the problem of the growing numbers of the students. The Remote laboratories are flexible, distributed environments which enable a learner to perform real experiments via the web. Of such facilities provide a practical education to growing numbers of students, despite the material resources and supervision often limited. They can also enable the sharing of manipulations between several academic institutions nationally or internationally, and to enjoy the various partner's costly resources which they would not have access. In a context of strong demand of the South countries for training in the domain of technicians and engineers, our project (rESeau maghrébIn de laboratoirEs à distaNCE, eSience), provide a response in the Engineering field. In this work, the main objective was to build an interactive system to control and manipulate a distance experiences in physics at any time with any browser in real-time using a client interface.
