A Framework for Implementing Virtual and Remote Laboratories in Scientific Course

This work describes the experience of the authors regarding the design, development, analysis, and exploitation of web-based technologies for creating an online experimentation framework with distance education purposes. The framework we propose is specially designed for scientific and technical courses that require a quite important presence of experimentation. It supports the development of virtual and remote laboratories, and their integration in a Learning Management System. In addition, to illustrate the applicability of our proposal this paper presents a network of remote and virtual laboratories for control engineering education that has been implemented
