About
O. Osasona is a pioneering figure in engineering education and remote laboratory implementation, particularly within the African context. Their primary research focuses on deploying scalable, accessible online laboratory architectures to bridge the digital divide in STEM education. Osasona’s most significant contribution is the successful adaptation and implementation of the iLab Shared Architecture (ISA) at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Nigeria, as detailed in their highly cited 2012 work. This paper, with 5 citations, serves as a foundational case study for remote lab deployment in resource-constrained environments, detailing three key systems: the Op-Amp iLab, Logic Design iLab, and Robotic Arm iLab. These labs allow students to conduct real experiments—such as manipulating an operational amplifier circuit or controlling a robotic arm—via the internet, providing hands-on experience without physical presence. This work has had a profound impact on expanding access to quality engineering education across Nigeria, demonstrating that sophisticated, credit-awarding remote labs can be built and sustained in developing regions. Osasona’s research remains a vital reference for educators and engineers seeking to democratize laboratory access globally.
