RAIN Video Resource Library
Educators interested in a remote experience should watch these videos and share them with their classes. One suggestion is that teachers have their students watch the relevant videos as homework assignments to be completed before taking part in the remote access session.

These videos serve multiple purposes. They provide:
  • An introduction to remote access,
  • An introduction to background and operation of various characterization tools, and
  • Detailed instructions on remotely controlling specific tools
