Abstract :
In this work, a novel hybrid time scheduling scheme for conducting experiments in an online remotely-triggered laboratory is proposed. The scheme has been implemented in the NETLab online laboratory management system which has been embedded in the curricula of two undergraduate laboratory courses at Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India.
