Welcome to OpeniLabs

The iLab project at MIT is dedicated to the proposition that online laboratories - real laboratories accessed through the Internet – enrich science and engineering education by greatly expanding the range of experiments that students are exposed to in the course of their education. The iLab vision is to create a worldwide network of shared laboratory instruments and educational materials.

OpeniLabs provides an open portal to selected remote laboratories at MIT. Through this portal, students, educators, and self learners are given unrestricted access to some of our iLabs. OpeniLabs is sponsored by Microsoft Corporation through the iCampus project at MIT.

Lab Access

Account registration is the only requirement for lab access. To register, go to the Login page and click on "register here". Access to the system is automatic upon registration.

For educators that want to use these iLabs in regular basis in a course or want access to specific resources that are not available here, please email icampus [at] mit [dot] edu. We are also interested in learning about the experiences of educators using iLabs in their curricula.

In addition, for those faculty interested in collaborating with MIT and other interested universities on implementing their own remotely operated experiments using the iLabs software architecture. You can email longpd[at]mit[dot]edu for further information.

Available Labs

Currently, the following iLabs are available through OpeniLabs:

• Microelectronics Device Characterization
  Measure the DC current-voltage characteristics of microelectronics devices such as diodes and transistors.
  
  
• Dynamic Signal Analyzer
  Obtain the transfer function of electronic circuits such as filters, amplifiers and control systems in the frequency domain.
  
  
• Microelectronics Device Simulator
  An online simulation tool where students study the behavior of model microelectronics devices. Students can customize device models by adjusting standard device parameters.
