Developing an At-A-Distance-Learning Nuclear Lab Experiment

The design and construction of a learning-at-a-distance laboratory experiment is presented. The experiment examines the characteristics of a NaI detector as part of a nuclear detector evaluation laboratory. All aspects of the experiment may be remotely controlled over the internet. The remote user's interface is a web browser. The graphical user interface and experiment controls were developed using National Instruments LabVIEW. More modules are in development for more experiments.
