: eLearning-based Physics Laboratory Course

6 Remote-Controlled Experiments for Applied Physics Students in the Foundation Year

Setup of the Remote Laboratory

e/m ratio setup Earth's magnetic field setup Radiation setup
Interference and diffraction setup Photoelectric effect setup Ultrasound imaging setup

Figure 1. Collection of physics experiments on the remote laboratory platform


Figure 2. Webpage for performing experiment. Although it is slightly different for different experiments, each page consists of real-time video streaming of the setups data display panel and control panels with buttons for manoeuvring experimental parameters. Final results will be transmitted to local user computers for further analysis.


User-Interface for Remote Experiments

Figure 3. User interface on Blackboard. After choosing the experiment, student will be directed to the experiment platform for reserving sessions. No entry of username nor password was needed. Introductory videos for all experiments are also provided.

Blackboard-Ready e-Learning Materials on Experimental Techniques

Figure 5. Table of contents for e-learning materials on experimental techniques on Blackboard (for the subject AP10007 Physics Experiments)


Figure 6. List of questions used for pre-experiment quizzes. Students were presented with the laboratory manuals and the quizzes. They could login to the experiements only if they have finished all the questions, which were based on the theories and procedures of the experiment concerned.
