Paper Abstract:	The present technology enables the remote access of Lab equipments and instrumentation by the Internet and it can be used potentially at the distance or present education area, where the students can effect experiences in remotely available Labs. This is an availability that will be able to improve, considerably, the teaching quality in order to increase, significantly, the available resources for their learning. The possibility of RexLab utilization, can also allow the students the utilization of expensive Lab equipments or resources that, generally, wouldn't be available to them. The proposal here presented is related to the modernization of the methods and techniques for the teaching through the implementation of a distributed architecture of Labs for experiments effected remotely, emphasizing the use of computerized appliances for acquisition, data analysis and control. The structure proposed contemplates the implantation of Labs in geographically separated points, that allow to share the resources through the Web. This document presents the RexNet, a collaborative and sharing ambient of resources for the remote experimentation, through the interconnection of a remote experimentation network in geographically distinct places, that wants to link education with technology, trying to amplify the opportunities to transform and improve teaching and learning processes.
