Abstract
Laboratories form an important part of engineering education and program accreditation. Delivering practical learning activities for distance students is difficult. There have been many initiatives in this space from small scale experiments to large scale national and international projects, such as Labshare (Lowe et al., 2009) and iLab (Harward et al., 2008). Current literature suggests that a lot of attention has been paid to implementation details of individual experiments and systems. However, the impact of learning activities has received little attention. Anecdotal evidence also suggests that these technologies are not widely used as learning and teaching tools. By investigating a number of Remote Access Laboratory (RAL) activities that are hosted in a common environment (Kist & Gibbings, 2010), this study investigates barriers that inhibit the wide application of this technology.
