Summary:Remote laboratories are becoming widely accepted in universities for providing distance education and for augmenting traditional laboratories. There is a lot of interest in remote laboratories from pedagogical point of view. In this paper, a novel technique for establishing remote laboratories is presented. The technique used and tools developed are extendable for the provision of different laboratory applications. Central to the idea is an experimentation server designed using a core Web technology called the "Web kernel" which provides a common access point for remote experiments. The server supports a number of analog/digital interface cards as well as allowing access to a number of modern laboratory instrumentation including oscilloscopes and signal generators. The Web-kernel provides access to Web sessions over the Internet from remote student workstations and allow fast, reliable and efficient development of applications. It is expected that the realistic facilities provided within the system allows it to be used in engineering education.
