Wireless-based tutoring consists of a modern appliance of information and communication technologies (ICT) in education. Although many contributions on engineering education are available in the literature, only a few examples are proposed in physics teaching. This contribution reviews the literature and researches the advantages / disadvantages of remote training in physics education. Future plans of wireless remote physics experimentation that is addressed to pre-college and/or undergraduate students are also discussed.
