=== Variants ===
The block diagram approach to modeling the mathematics of a telecommunication system has also been ported across to other domains.<ref name=":4">{{Cite journal|last=Josef Bc.|first=Jeřábek|date=2008-11-02|title=Optimalizace telekomunikačního výukového prostředí|url=https://www.vutbr.cz/www_base/zav_prace_soubor_verejne.php?file_id=7588|journal=Vysoké učení technické v Brně}}</ref><ref name=":8">{{Cite journal|last=Veettil|first=Binesh Puthen|last2=Payne|first2=David|last3=Bagnall|first3=Darren|last4=Cetin|first4=Ediz|date=2020-12-01|title=Quantifying and Improving Student Engagement with Remotely Accessible Laboratory Project Hardware (RALPH)|url=https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9368478|journal=2020 IEEE International Conference on Teaching, Assessment, and Learning for Engineering (TALE)|pages=714–718|doi=10.1109/TALE48869.2020.9368478}}</ref>
=== Simulation ===
Where the blocks are patched together onscreen to mimic the hardware implementation but with a simulation engine (known as TutorTIMS).<ref name=":4" /><ref name=":8" />
=== Remote access ===
It can be used by multiple students at once across the internet or LAN via a browser based client screen. This utilises a statistical time division multiplexing architecture in the control unit. The method is applied both to Telecommunications and Electronics Laboratories (known as netCIRCUITlabs).<ref name=":4" /><ref name=":8" />
