This is one instrument of many in the category of multi-user shared departmental instruments, (sometimes call "Core Labs"). Scientific staff maintain the instruments, and teach the users how to do their experiments. Graduate students and post docs perform part of their research on these instruments.Base fee right now is $16/hour instrument use time, for academic users doing research. Our remote collaborators are not billed for use with their undergraduate laboratories which connect to the instrument. One faculty at Oakwood got a UNCF grant to continue his research here, and a portion of the grant goes toward usage fees.RICE, Remote Instrument Collaboration Environment.

We collaborate with Oakwood U. (Huntsville AL) and Cal. State U. Dominguez Hills. Students in various advanced laboratory courses can connect with this instrument and operate it remotely, as much as can be done from the computer keyboard and mouse. They were part of the proposal to NSF to obtain the funds for this instrument. Also, Dr. Don Ranatunga of Oakwood received UNCF funding to continue some of his academic research with this instrument. He visited laast summer to get "hands on" experience with the instrument.5Funding from NSF, which is funding "Cyber enabled" instrumentation and projects.

Scanning electron microscope, JEOL JSM-6490LVMicroscopehttp://www.ndsu.edu/em_lab/instrumentation/jeoljsm_6490lv/Use of the SEM is available to NDSU faculty, staff, and student researchers; to business/industry partners; and to K-20 students throughout the upper Midwest and beyond.The SEM is primarily a research tool, also used in science outreach.Researchers pay for services and supplies. No fee is charged for outreach.Currently, we are using the freeware version of RealVNC remote control software to access this instrument.

Estimated bandwidth is 6.6 Mbps. Use of the SEM would be difficult and slow over a T1 (1.5 Mbps)unless it streamed at a lower rate (perhaps lower quality video?).

It would fill the new 5 Mbps rate that most schools will be upgraded to in the next few years.
Kim Owen, Advanced Applications Coordinator for NDSU Information Technology Services, has helped us to extend outreach through a number of platforms. We have worked with high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools as far away as Denver (some 900 miles from Fargo) as well as regional and tribal college students, and we participate in the USDA's annual "Take a Child to Work" day and the North Dakota Governor's School.2

Project ExCELMicroscopehttp://www.mse.iastate.edu/excel/The SEM is open to all K12 schools around the world. Other schools (colleges and Universities) can and have used it on a limited basis. Requests for research use are on a fee basis.The instrument was bought on an NSF grant for education purposes and that is the primary use.No fee is charged currently.Simple web connection. Usually a lesson involves several e-mail exchanges and a phone call or two.We have advertised the system in the past but due to it's age we have not done so lately. The instrument is introduced to students in ISU education classes as a possible resource they can use and has been demonstrated at area education association meetings for in-service teachers.1You might look for Steve Barlow of San Diego State University and Gary Casuccio of RJ Lee Group in Monroeville, PA

Internet-controllable telescopesTelescopehttp://observatory.space.eduThe UND Observatory is a growing facility that now include four Internet-controllable telescopes -- three optical telescopes and one radio telescopes. These instruments as used by both undergraduate and graduate students at UND for the conduct of basic research and education astronomical projects. Efforts are currently underway to extend this resource to North Dakota colleges, universities, and K-12 schools across the state. This is a unique resource in the Upper Midwest and should be utilized as much as possible for hands-on learning and research.

The UND Observatory is also part of the Space Grant Internet Telescope Network (SGITN), which is a young network of Internet-controllable telescopes. The Network currently supports observatories in North Dakota, South Dakota, California, New Mexico, and Israel. Other observatories are planning to join the Network in the coming months and years.
Students and faculty control a telescope through a simple, easy-to-use web browser. Once a telescope is ready for operation during an evening, the observer is notified and can begin controlling the telescope. Prior training is required for learning how to successfully control the telescope and to conduct useful projects, but this is easily accomplished prior to observations. A staff person is on-site at the observatory each night one or more telescopes are in use in case of problems or questions.Currently, there is no cost to use this service. However, observers must submit valid observing proposals that must be approved.The optical telescopes use ACP Observatory Control Software. A description of this software can be found at http://acp.dc3.com/index2.html.There are no programs currently in existence but, as mentioned above, efforts to develop and begin outreach programs are underway. 1

Cosmic Ray e-Labcosmic ray detectorswww.i2u2.org/elab/cosmicOver 300 detectors are located at high schools in the US and around the world. Anyone can access the data and perform studies. Students with detectors upload the data to a central database. In order to perform an analysis, teachers must register themselves and their students but there are no restrictions. Some detectors are at universities but the project is targeted for high school students.The is a student-led, teacher guided investigation of cosmic rays. While the professionals have more sophisticated detectors, our students can make real measurements. For the most part, however, they are not on the cutting-edge finding new results. Now that the professionals are finding the source(s) of the highest-energy cosmic rays, our students do not really have the time to detect them.No fees are charged. In order to have a detector and contribute data, people outside the QuarkNet program must buy one. It costs on the order of $5500. QuarkNet is provviding detectors to its participants, some 500 high school physics teachers across the country.The e-Lab is a browser based program. No special software is needed. Students do use some computer commands to upload data. In a way there are 2 program, QuarkNet which started the e-Lab concept and I2U2 which is studying the effective of an e-Lab in teaching and learning and developing 2 more e-Labs and 1 i-Lab. QuarkNet is a long-term (12 years now) program that brings high school teachers and their students into the particle physics research world. Teachers join one of 52 centers located at universities and labs across the country. Go to quarknet.fnal.gov for details. I2U2 is a research project at this point studying three e-Labs. In addition to cosmic, LIGO (laser interferometer for gravitation waves) and CMS (LHC experiment) are developing e--Labs (www.i2u2.org)1

Use will expand. Full use is granted upon a teacher's request for an e-Lab account for his or her students.Students use the I2U2 LIGO e-Lab to access data sets from LIGO environmental sensors, primarily seismometers. The e-Lab Web site provides a variey of support tools to students as they build investigations using the seismic data that they obtain via the Web interface.Currently covered by NSF support; no fee is charged. I doubt that it would be possible to charge a fee. Perhaps if a third party was contracted to handle the fees, the cost of the contract could be covered through a portion of the fees.The entire I2U2 Web apparatus runs on servers. Users don't download software. Most schools appear to have adequate bandwidth to run the e-lab effectively.The I2U2 development team attempts to disseminate knowledge of the resource's existence through a variety of means. The current user community is small, so word-of-mouth growth of the program is far from rapid.1

DAQ systems (for CLOUD INSTRUMENTATION)SOFTWARE - RECONFIGURABLE HARDWAREhttp://iaoe-online.netAs I presented all our results in Creativity Laboratory are open and presented in many publications and some are implemented with MIT USA in iLab EUROPE NETWORK: http://www.ilab-europe.net/ (see University TRANSILVANIA link also).

We believe that the best integration can be done when the students will be able using IoT devices, together with possibility to build home exercises (for example using LabVIEW and CYPRESS software's), test it and after more complex laboratory work to be UPLODED and TESTED in Laboratory Reconfigurable devices.
We started some projects STUDNETS develop devices for STUDENTS.
Student EDEA and student MicroLAB concepts: http://www.epi.ro/epi_edea_002.htm and http://www.inexglobal.com/downloads/INNOVATIVE%20EDUCATION.pdf
I believe to separate the PAYD services and UNPAYD it is difficult. Many universities ask for money.
We believe with this fast development in science and technologies one collaboration UNIVERSITY - ENTREPRISES can generate FREE REMOTE LABS and this system we promote.
In all the IAOE conferences we tray to put together the INDUSTRY - DEVELOPERS (third party companies) and UNIVERSITIES.
his TRIANGLE can push the development, fast training solution and fast implementation and product marketing !
Good network with satisfactory bandwidth - and well conducted university politics (samtime the INFORMATICS DEPARTMENTS in universities BLOKATED a lot of facilities and fight against this REMOTE ACTIVE PROJECTS !I'm teacher of Physics but now I start to think a complex interaction: physics-electronics-informatics in direct link with RECONFIGURABILITY and ONLINE DVELOPMENT (we believe in this like future of development)5We need to interact and from this interaction we can develop many activities - together with a strong interaction with INDUSTRY !We manage one CREATIVITY LABORATORY CL in one Center for Valorization and Transfer of Competences CVTC (16 yeas active and developed in one TEMPUS project).
This CL-CVTC collaborate with many well know companies (National, Instruments, Keysight Technologies, Metrohm, Benchmark, MILELE, STEINEL, Cypress Semiconductors, Freescale Semiconductors, INTEL etc.). We like to build models, to make proof of concept and disseminate at international level the CL-CVTC ideas.
All our last ten years activities well covered in publication and books. We startete the REV Conferences and IAOE organization and we promote this ideas.
See this link: http://www.online-engineering.org
We think about the big future in joint technologies and especially the connection of LabVIEW and NI technologies with CYPRESS PSoC devices.
For this reasons we build in BRASOV first CYPRESS - National Instruments CLUB for children's from HIGH SCHOOLS and UNIVERSITY.
We belive that the future will be of SOFTWARE RECONFIGURABLE HARDWARE based on CYPRESS PSoC and controlled in LabVIEW.
Like examples see the LabVIEW Compiler for ARDUINO (I presented with TXExperts this system in BANGKOK at IAOE main conference) and the future LabVIEW COMPILER for RASPBERRY PI2.
The LabVIEW compiler just received the NI 2015 award !

iLabs CentralMultiple instrumentshttp://ilabcentral.org/no5Remote Online laboratories (iLabs) are experimental facilities that can be accessed through the Internet, allowing students and educators to carry out experiments from anywhere at any time.

Remote labs enrich science and engineering education by vastly increasing the scope of experiments that students have access to in the course of their academic careers. As partners, the Center for Educational Computing Initiatives at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Northwestern University's Office of STEM Education Partnerships offer the following through The iLAB Network:

Gives science teachers and learners in traditional and online high schools, museums, and informal science education programs the ability to experience the excitement and authenticity of using high-end equipment to investigate the world in the same way that scientists do
Provides new research and learning opportunities for students, allowing them to share and discuss procedures and results

Prepares teachers to integrate iLABs in a range of science courses (including AP courses), encouraging them to go beyond the current paradigm of cookbook science labs with outdated or inappropriate equipment

Allows access by students and other audiences around the world who might not other wise have the resources to purchase and operate costly or delicate lab equipment.
