Scientific paper

Laboratory based courses play a critical role in scientific education. Automation is changing the nature of the laboratories, and there is a long running debate about the value of hands on versus simulated and remote laboratories. The remote lab technology has brought a significant improvement in communication within the Academic community and has improved students learning experiences. There are different educational objectives as criteria for judging the laboratories: Hands on advocates emphasize design skills, while remote lab advocates focus on conceptual understanding. Remote laboratories offer all the advantages of the new technology, but are often a poor replacement for real laboratory work. Remote laboratories are similar to simulation techniques in that they require minimal space and time, because the experiments can be rapidly configured and run over the Internet [Web]. But unlike simulations, they provide real data. This paper presents a comparative analysis for the educational objectives of the three laboratory techniques, hands on, simulated, and remote laboratories. In addition, it proposes enhancements for the remote lab activities leading to improving its performance.
