. Similarly, Mold Making I and II were taught in the springsemester.Combining the laboratories in this way allowed a different approach to teaching the laboratorysections. Since the enrollment numbers for each section were small, instructors decided thatlaboratory sections of various courses could be offered concurrently. Instead of having dedicatedlab time for each course, they could all be combined (Table 4). Combining the laboratories wasnot as complex as it may appear. Although a student could take nearly any course in anysemester they mostly followed the traditional schedule pretty closely. This meant that in the fallsemester for example, students were either in Machining I, or Die Making I and II. In alaboratory populated by a larger number of

None ofthem catered to Internet accessible remote laboratories. With this scenario, an LMS has beendeveloped to support remote laboratory delivery. Along with the standard features, the newlydeveloped LMS allows management of the laboratory experiments, performance of experimentsby the students, access control, experiment time allocation, a queue for experiment performance,weekly surveys, and tracking of facility usage.6.
