laboratories of Pythonprogramming, which teach students how to edit and run Python source code that calls theblocks. For example, in one laboratory the students need to connect two sine waves intothe left and right channels of a sound card, respectively, and create a dial tone generator(see Figure 2). An incomplete source code (without the highlighted statements) isprovided and the students need to complete and test the code by themselves. Thisexperiment does not require USRP front, therefore it can be done on any computer with asound card and an Ubuntu operating system. 4 Figure 2: Python Code for a Dial Tone GeneratorIV) GNU Radio and USRP Implementation.

The main teaching formats and materialemployed in this course are presented as the following.At the beginning, we used power point slides presentation and class discussion to introducestudents the topics on defining real-time systems. These topics are basis for further learning.Thus, it is important to help students to set up a solid and comprehensive foundation. In the classdiscussion, some questions are designed to enable students to reflect on key concepts in real-timesystems, and to encourage active learning. Here are some examples: 1) Are real

: Configuration 1 interface5. ConclusionsThis paper presents two remote laboratory experimental systems designed and developedusing the described strategy. One is a sensor actuator system the user can manipulate toperform certain laboratory experiments. The system also complements teaching Pythonprogramming for a Raspberry Pi over the web. Students can write their programs and uploadthem on the remote experimental system. The sensors and actuators are an array of lightemitting diodes, a temperature sensor, a liquid crystal display, a servo motor, and anultrasonic sensor. A suitable GUI was also developed so remote users can manipulate thecontrolled entities with little difficulty. The second experiment is a coupled tank system forperforming process

of laboratory exercises. Online educational resources often concentrateon teaching theoretical concepts, such as proving theorems or solving equations, and have verylittle or no coverage of practical laboratories. Laboratory experiments are an essentialcomponent of science and engineering education as they provide hands-on experiences forunderstanding theoretical concepts or directly addressing real world problems. Students oftenlearn more from lab exercises than purely theoretical problems. One approach to compensate forthis deficiency is to provide recorded videos of real lab experiments which familiarize studentswith the process of how a certain lab is conducted. However, this method alone does notadequately substitute for the physical
