Abstract :
We attempt to explore the concept of utilizing the Internet as a basis for delivering electronics experimentation at the tertiary level. Attempts are made to identify a system based on certain criteria that would facilitate effective and efficient distance experimentation for this category of students. It is expected that this constitute the basis upon which laboratory experimentation are accomplished using the Internet as the main medium of delivery. With the availability of the necessary facilities such as computers connected to the Internet, video on demand, two-way communication, and other facilities required for accomplishing this task. The Internet along with appropriate personnel is able to carry out numerous tasks including collecting data, measuring variables, adjusting variables, changing parameters, reorganize components and many other functions.
