Technologies that allow laboratory exercises to be performed between a team of two students where one is local and one is remote, through the Integrated ODL environment, are presented. A registration and position reservation system, for the limited laboratory sessions, for the local and remote students, is implemented with a Scheduler. Hyperlinked Guided Environment for executing a Laboratory exercise including steps such as Design & Simulate, Experiment, Data Collection, and Results are taking place. Conclusions are drawn on the effectiveness of the method and system.
