Abstract


With continuous increase in the number of students enrolled in universities, e-learning has become an urgent necessity in modern education systems. However, applied programs face challenges in adopting this type of learning because of their need for laboratories and training workshops. With the advancement in computers and wireless communications technologies, and advent of Internet of Things technology, it has become possible to design real laboratories that can be accessed remotely. Remote labs are an advanced step that enables students to interact remotely with real laboratory  devices using personal computers or smartphones from anywhere and at any time. This paper presents the use of Internet of Things technology in the design of the renewable energy laboratory, where the experiments are designed in a way that allows the student to choose the required experiment remotely, study its components, and measure many variables in order to obtain the necessary skills.
