IntroductionE-learning offers students access to tools and course materials over the internet. Bydistributing tools and materials in this fashion, students isolated from the universityenvironment can still work toward University degrees in most fields offered. Courses thatinclude a laboratory component have traditionally required students to be on-site. This isprimarily due to the need for laboratory resources to be in a
