Abstract

The North American Network of Science Labs Online (NANSLO) is an open source (Creative Commons BY license) project that seeks to develop a network of remote web-based science labs (RWSL) that offers access to Internet mediated real-time operation of high-end scientific instrumentation to conduct laboratory activities. The primary student population for NANSLO is students that normally do not have access to traditional STEM courses because of location, family, and/or work commitments. This poster and short paper will provide a brief introduction to the goals methods and accomplishments of the first several years of NANSLO operation.
