Abstract :
This paper presents a comprehensive approach to distance learning for electric and electronic measurement courses. The proposed approach integrates a traditional Learning Management System (LMS) with the remote access to real instrumentation located in different laboratories, without requiring specific software components on the client side. The advantages of using LMSs in distance learning of measurement-related topics are summarized describing some LMS characteristics. Then, the remote laboratory system relying on virtual instruments (VIs) developed in LabVIEW and its integration with an off-the-shelf LMS are described in a project financed by the Italian Ministry of Education and University
