Standartization Use Case of Solid-State Laser Lab and RF&Microwave Amplifier Remote and Virtual Laboratories at Labicom
This paper outlines a demonstration of a few remote and virtual laboratories at Labicom platform that were built with accordance to main IEEE P1876™ ideas. A few standardization approaches at above mentioned remote and virtual laboratories are briefly discussed. These laboratories were presented at interactive Labicom demo session during REV'16 conference and published in conference proceedings under title "Labicom Labs: Remote and Virtual Solid-State Laser Lab, RF&Microwave Amplifier Remote and Virtual Lab. Interactive demonstration of Labicom labs in winter 2016".
Computer Modelling of Virtual Measuring Stands
The original approach to the computer modelling of the modern measuring equipment is presented. The interface of the computer model is an interactive photo of the real device with all buttons operation available by the PC mouse. The models of the devices can be combined in the measuring stands in arbitrary order and provide a variety of virtual laboratory works. As an example, the computer models of the Vector Network Analyzers Rohde&Schwarz ZVA40 and Keysight Technologies E8363B PNA are presented. The measuring data of the investigated microwave devices can be provided by the analytical formulas, by the computer simulation, and by the measured resultes of the real devices stored in *.s2p files.
MOOLs: Massive Open Online Laboratories: An analysis of scale and feasibility
Massive Open Online Courses have been receiving enormous attention within the educational community. Open questions remain however with respect to how laboratory experiences - particularly those that benefit from access to physical equipment - can be accommodated within MOOCs. In this paper the potential for addressing this challenge through the use of remotely accessed laboratories is considered - particularly in terms of the feasibility of achieving massively-scalable laboratory access. Consideration is given to the different parameters that affect remote laboratory capacity, and a number of scenarios are used to illustrate the varying levels of laboratory apparatus that might be required, and hence the feasibility of providing support.
