Thesis (M. Eng.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2011. === This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections. === Cataloged from student submitted PDF version of thesis. === Includes bibliographical references (p. 62-63). === The MIT iLab project has developed online laboratories called iLabs that allow students to conduct real experiments on real equipment over the Internet. The ELVIS iLab, developed using National Instruments' Educational Laboratory Virtual Instrument Suite, has made it possible for students to develop a better understanding of engineering concepts by obtaining real data from an electronics lab. In the latest version of the ELVIS iLab, developed in this thesis, the user interface is redesigned to incorporate new features that will improve the experience of students and create new learning opportunities for students. As a result, students can enter values for parameters in the experiment more intuitively, have multiple experiments open simultaneously, view more variables in the graphs by adding new axes and defining new plots, retrieve earlier experiments and choose whether to connect or disconnect circuit elements. === by Olayemi A.
