Abstract

The North American Network of Science Labs Online (NANSLO) is an international collaboration between institutions in the United States and Canada. NANSLO is using open source licensing to construct a network of Internet controllable real-time teaching laboratories. NANSLO’s goal is to provide real-time access to high-quality scientific instrumentation used to run inquiry-based laboratory procedures to students in traditional and nontraditional environments. The project currently has three operational laboratories running more than 20 activities. This paper will explain the development of the NANSLO project with a focus on how we developed our technology and laboratory procedures.
