6. V e RSI VBL Introduction

7. V e RSI Why we need a VBL Science particularly that based on large instruments increasingly involves distributed, global collaborations enabled by the internet and using very large scale data collections, high performance computing resources, tele-science (remote access and control of instrumentation) and collaborative visualisation. For the Australian Synchrotron the Virtual Beam Line will be a model for this sort of distributed access.

10. V e RSI Exam System The online exam system allows remote users to take an exam via the internet. The features of this system include: Multiple choice questions Multiple answer multiple choice Automatic marking Picture and/or text questions and answers Exam timer Examines are emailed the result of the exam Examiners are emailed outcome of an examines exam and what questions they got wrong

11. V e RSI Exam System Video Presentation Slide Show Extra related files for each exam Question pools Automatic Image resizing A re-sit exam option, which allows examines to re-sit an exam without having to go through slides again. Examines can email Examiners questions before starting an exam.

17. V e RSI FSM Base system By ASP Controls team Only available onsite. We modified the same program to write its output to mySQL and then added a front-end web page. Web version is real-time.

18. V e RSI eVBL The eVBL or educational Virtual Beam Line has been developed as a support and development tool for the VBL proper as well as delivering a useful environment the education and outreach of synchrotron science to educators. In its support and development role the eVBL we deliver primary rich client interface screen that will encompass basic functions such as motor control, sample / overview video capture, sample interpretation, training, usability, client interaction and support requirements. It will also show that VBL technology is viable and achievable from the Australian synchrotron. In its education role the eVBL will deliver an invaluable source of outreach from the ASP and VeRSI into secondary collage and 1 st year Higher education as both an introduction to synchrotron science at the ASP and an experimental platform to perform a basic double-slit optical experiments.
