Abstract:
This work describes a practical method for the design and development of online virtual laboratories using low costs electronics and software applications. uch virtual labs are needed in any education institution that desires to offer good quality teaching services for their students and can be integrated inside e-learning platforms. A practical example is included in this research and makes use of communication technologies together with microcontroller performance, possible due to high availability of many forms of Internet-enabled modules, which generated in the last years in the so-called “Internet of Things” (IoT) – a global network of sensors and smart devices communicating with each other. These smart platforms capture data from different sensors and transmit it over Internet for further processing or interpretation, and graphical results can be embedded into a Moodle course, as a laboratory teaching resource, thus expanding the e-learning services. The case study presented is the author’s experimentation in laboratory space and can be easily replicated for further research
