understanding of the topic 4.In this project we report on development of a remote laboratory platform that allows students tologin and complete different lab experiments in fiber optics and optical communications.Generally, performing such experiments are expensive and require costly instruments. Our setupoffers remote access to state-of-the-art optical test equipment. Thus, without having to bephysically present, students can remotely receive hands-on training in selected areas in opticalcommunications, such as learning about eye-diagram, bit-error test, and signal dispersion andattenuation in fiber optics.2.

Other institutions have also noted that labcourses can stagnate due to the high cost in both instructor time and money associated withchanging apparatus. vThe old equipment and labs are only part of the overall problem. As other institutions have seen,repeating the same standard labs year after year can lead to widespread plagiarism and thepassing down of labs from one class to the next.v,vi In addition, the literature is full of examplesof the increased learning benefits that come from open ended, design type problems. vii Fixed,static experiments, while easy to administer and grade, limit student
