[Crosstalk] Crosstalk Seminars - "The iLabs Project - a View from 10 Years On", March 6th, 2:30 pm 26-152

[Phillip Long]

Hi: I'm pleased to announce a CrossTalk Seminar presentation on "the  
iLabs Project, a View from 10 Years On".   iLabs is a software  
architecture for delivering remote labs to students via the Internet.   
iLabs enables not only expensive or scarce laboratory resources to be  
easily accessed by students, but opens opportunities for students to  
engage with experiments in multiple contexts. iLabs are spreading  
around the world. They have been enabling students to access and run  
laboratory experiments for 10 years.  This semester at MIT 6.002  
students ( "Circuits and Electronics" ) now routinely use ilabs for  
all homework accessing three different ilabs.

This seminar will present the state of the iLabs work in remote  
laboratories, introducing a way to control real-time as well as batch  
oriented experiments, and demonstrating implementations of remote lab  
experiments from Nigeria, Australia, and the US. This month the iLabs  
team is hosting developers from six countries who are building iLab  
experiments.  Come to learn the state of the art in bringing  
experimental devices to students, explore ways that your experiments  
might be made more widely accessible to students at MIT and elsewhere,  
and celebrate the extraordinary success of the iLabs project in its  
first decade of development and deployment of 'minds on' experiments.

Who: Professors Jesus del Alamo, Steve Lerman, (MIT), Jud Harward  
(MIT), Prof. Kunle Kehinde, (OAU - Nigeria), Prof. Mark Schulz (UQ -  
Australia)   What: iLabs - the view from 10 years on
When: Thursday, March 6th, 2008
Where: 26-152 (the TEAL I Room)
Time: 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm

Regards,
    Phil
