Easy to use remote experiments WITHOUT laboratory systems

Abstract

Remote experiments during natural science education start to actively take part in e-learning, thus helping transform it into a new integrated e-learning. They are most often performed using universal measurement systems (ISES, LabVIEW etc.).

However, trying to start with remote experiments using these systems is prudent just for those teachers, who already have such systems in their possession and do not need to acquire them just to start with the remote experiments. Our contribution aims to demonstrate remote experiments using simple and readily available resources (standard laboratory equipment, multimeters etc.) and the RS232C or USB interface.

The next demonstration will show an experiment, where we will measure temperature, humidity, noise level and illuminance using merely a commercial environmental multimeter without any of the above –mentioned measuring systems. And at last we will demonstrate a remote experiment, again without the measuring systems, performing the Franck-Hertz experiment on the Phywe set.

It is possible to connect this highly specialized and financially demanding experiment to the internet using just the ISES WEB Control as a remote experiment, accessible online by anyone from anywhere. The main component of these remote experiments using just the usual equipment and measuring tools and the RS232C interface is our universal ISES WEB Control software kit.
