Abstract
This paper describes the work carried out by the Makerere
University iLabs Project Team, hereafter referred to as
iLabs@MAK. The procedures followed to develop Online
Laboratories using the National Instruments Educational
Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation Suite (NI ELVIS II™)
platform is discussed. The laboratories were developed
based on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
iLabs Shared Architecture (ISA), a model that provides
highly reliable generic services independent of the
experiment domains. Modifications were made to the
ELVIS version 1.0 code to introduce desired functionalities.
Experiments were selected from three fundamental courses
offered in the Department of Electrical Engineering,
Faculty of Technology, Makerere University. Starting with
the rationale for development of iLabs in specific courses,
the paper presents the methods employed and the results
obtained from the various experiments. Experiences and
perceptions from over 300 students who performed the
experiments were captured as a core aspect of the
Research.
