Online lab access also has another upside, Zapata-Rivera said. It helps schools by allowing students to access expensive, high- tech equipment without the school having to buy multiple pieces of the same hardware for different campuses or lab locations. Dr. Zapata-Rivera’s ongoing work to bolster lab access for Embry-Riddle students earned him an “Outstanding Research” award from the college for 2021. He is excited about the future prospects for his project. “There are still many challenges and a lot of work to do,” he said. “But this can become something that Embry-Riddle can expand to courses across all of its campuses.”
This technology can ultimately help students, instructors and administrators to have a better laboratory experience.” Dr. Luis Felipe Zapata-Rivera Assistant Professor of Computer, Electrical and Software Engineering
The Online Laboratory Management System (OLMS) provides a central spot for students to log in and allows instructors to monitor online laboratory activity to ensure safety and compliance with procedures. The SARL (Smart Adaptive Remote Laboratory) system is designed to collect information about students, their assignments and their experience levels and then propose appropriate activities that will help maximize the benefits of their online lab experience.
