Abstract
Remote laboratory is an innovative approach to create and provide laboratory experience to geographically dispersed students from anywhere at any time. One of the most important aspects of remote laboratories is to provide the user maximum mobility and freedom to perform experiments. Apart from the PC-based remotely triggered laboratories to enhance technical education, mobile devices can play a major role in wider implementation of the laboratory for hardware-based remote experimentation. In this paper, different techniques, such as, Adobe Flash Lite, HTML5 and SMS for developing platforms for mobile devices are studied and compared.
