Abstract

Remote experiments have been frequently used as an effective educational tool by various academic institutions over the last few years. This paper aims to define and illustrate some key features of a particular implementation of an online laboratory management system. More than anything, it focuses on the process of creating and testing a controller and explaining existing approaches provided by this specific online laboratory. Since the system offers a variety of real devices and simulation environments, during the development arose a need to build a generalized and user-friendly way of creating control algorithms. Teachers and system administrators are able to define robust structures, which students can later use to test their solution without any risk to the devices or the system itself.
