Benefits for students

    Remote labs enable students to interact with real physical equipment and to conduct authentic, non-simulated experiments from anywhere and at any time. While physical access to laboratories remains crucial for students, studies and past experience indicate that remote labs are advantageous in the following aspects:

  • Remote labs offer students access to experiments that would otherwise be unavailable to them,
  • Remote labs give students greater flexibility of when and where to conduct experiments,
  • Remote labs allow students to complete or repeat experiments in their own time,
  • Remote labs provide experiences that hands-on labs cannot, such as access to equipment that is too expensive, dangerous, or logistically problematic,
  • Remote labs enable students to gain an enhanced perception of specific aspects of an experiment by focusing the student's attention on relevant concepts.
