This document discusses remote laboratories and their use for teaching and learning. It provides examples of remote labs both on and outside a university campus that allow students to conduct experiments online. Challenges of implementing remote labs include different technologies used, network security, and ensuring teacher training and technical support. Evaluation of a project providing online access to engineering labs found it improved student interaction with teachers and peers as well as the learning process. Remote labs can complement but not replace real labs when used appropriately.
