Addressing the Bandwidth Efficiency, Control, and Evaluation Issues in Software Remote Laboratory

A novel framework for the remote monitoring and control of course laboratories has been developed. The primary focus is on e-learning courses, where holding various subject-related labs can enhance the practical understanding of the subject material. The aim is to simulate a real-life competitive laboratory environment as closely as possible. The framework provides an instructor-friendly remote monitoring of lab, effective evaluation, and grading methodology. The system also provides a student-friendly remote login, software access, and problem resolution through effective help from the teacher. The framework is built on a bandwidth-efficient client-server model-based backend system written in Java.
