Abstract
Remote laboratories are technologies that aim to increase the effectiveness of educational programs. European
Remote Radio Laboratory (ERRL) is an e-learning project for students, teachers and technicians who will use
very important devices of a radio frequency laboratory remotely. As a solution we have developed an e-learning
system which aims to support the ERRL learners while studying on how to use equipments in the system. The
system is developed according to the electronic performance support system (EPSS) approach. An EPSS is a
computer-based, well-structured system which improves the performance of individuals. It is an electronic
infrastructure that contains, stores and distributes personal (individual) or corporate knowledge to enable people
to reach necessary levels of performance in the fastest possible time and with minimum teaching support of other
people. This paper discusses how the content for such a system is developed and how this content is interactively
used in the EPSS platform. The technical details of the developed EPSS are also discussed in this study. We
believe that this paper will help instructional system designers for designing different alternatives to improve
learners’ performance.
