Abstract

Mobile-learning establishes a new frontier for research of e-learning in electrical and electronic measurement and instrumentation. Indeed, the reduced functionalities of the mobile devices must be integrated with the typologies of the services delivered to the student. By referring to the Remote Didactic Laboratory Laboratorio Didattico Remoto – LA.DI.RE. “G. Savastano” the delivered services taken into account are experiment visualization, experiment control, and experiment creation. In order to enable the user of the mobile device to view, control, and create the experiment application, several software architectures have been considered. Finally, the description of the proposed solution is given in the framework of the LA.DI.RE. “G. Savastano”.
