may havebeen initially overlooked.5 Another advantage of performing remote experiments is theincreased accessibility and opportunity for those students who are unable to attend laboratorieslocally.6 This provides online colleges the ability to offer these science oriented activities whichmay have previously been available.One goal of our student experience was to gain a varied exposure to different technologies andsystems. With this exposure to different applications we feel that we are better able to adapt tochanges in our future careers. Utilizing remote laboratory experiments allows the University toexpose students to different applications without the need to purchase extensive equipment. Inaddition, with the ever increasing growth of
