Abstract
Experimentation has always been an essential ingredient to sustain the learning activities in engineering education. During traditional laboratory sessions, a huge amount of work is carried out by the assistant who is in charge of supporting and evaluating the students. In a Web-based experimentation setting students ask for more feedback while they work on simulation or remote manipulation. We present in this paper a virtual assistant for Web-based training. The training and the evaluation process are shared between real and virtual assistants in order to deliver a tutoring scheme adapted to Web-based experimentation.
