Component-based Design of a Flexible Environment Dedicated to Web-based Experimentation

چکیده
Experimentation is an essential ingredient to sustain learning activities in engineering education. Nowadays many academic institutions are making great efforts to provide their students with standalone applications for Web-based simulation or remote manipulation of laboratory equipment. However, these resources are not really effective if deployed as such, without additional components which can sustain active learning, interaction, collaboration and knowledge appropriation.
