Abstract

Remote laboratory environments have the potential for delivering current standards of education while creating distance-learning environments. Design of a remote electronics laboratory presents many challenges such as scheduling, switching, content design etc. Several possible switching techniques are used in electronic experiments when implemented in a remote laboratory. This paper discusses various possible switching techniques, their requirements and presents a comparative study on which switching techniques is most suitable.
