Ict-enabled Labview Based Laboratory for Remote Access Applications

This paper presents a model of laboratory framework for the student that was developed by the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to conduct experiments on the internet employing a virtual environment based on LabVIEW. The general structure proposed is focused on web based access to real laboratory experiments by providing an advanced infrastructure offering data and computing services to learners from several application domains. In this paper, it is described how this infrastructure is used in both conventional and distance education by providing flexibility to students and teachers. As ICT plays an ever increasing role in the development of the virtual laboratory framework to meet escalating demands on laboratory resources, the system is found to be strategic imperative for engineering education involving experimental works.
