1. Online Engineering Labs: Keith Williams Director eSTEeM(MCT) Open University UK Sept 2012

2. Why not? Interactive Screen Experiments – Photo-realistic point-of-view recordings of real experiments. Results : Derived by algorithm Banked real measurements

3. Why not? Remote Access Laboratories – Complex equipment routinely controlled through digital interfaces, eg mass spectrometers, astronomical telescopes Lab class equipment using Labview interfaces Purpose built rigs

4. Why not? 3-D Immersive Environments – Games technologies that enable students to explore and interact with equipment SLOODLE developments

5. Why not? MegaLab Experiments - Investigations in which large numbers of distributed students contribute data to mass observation exercises eg to map national traffic noise, pollution levels.
