Abstract:

Distance learning has gotten much attention in the past few years, particularly from college and university administrators who hope to offer educational services to students who are not physically present on campus. Among many of the problems to be solved in trying to offer learning opportunities at a distance is the question of laboratory exercises. We present here two examples of ways to offer some laboratory experiments which involve real time data collection via the internet. The idea is to make accessible via the internet, experimental apparatus and real time data acquisition from equipment which would not otherwise be available to students because of time or resource constraints such as location of the equipment, expense of the apparatus (or number of set-ups), duration of the experiment, staffing problems, etc.
