Özet

This study introduces an original e-laboratory platform providing the use of experimental learning method. In this regard, experimental sets remotely accessible in real time via the internet have been developed. Electrical Control Circuits course and its laboratory applications have been dealt as sample studies. For this aim, an e-laboratory platform has been designed which allows to achieve control experiments existing into the syllabus of the course. Furthermore, the platform developed has been enriched by theoretical presentations about the course topics as well as animations facilitating the learning. Thanks to the study presented, it has been proved that the e-laboratory platform integrating several software and hardware units has extremely operated as in accordance. Thus it can serve an innovation and constructive contribution to e-learning platforms especially designed for vocational and technical education.
