Abstract
An autonomous and multiplatform virtual
laboratory for educational purposes is presented. The
implemented platform includes a server with a SSH (Secure
SHell) connection and a separated repository containing the
virtual experiments. The programming of the experiments is
implemented in Java language based tool, the EJS (Easy
Java Simulation) and uses an external computation engine,
for example Matlab. The virtual laboratory provides control
system experiments at University level. Two application
examples are described, namely, a magnetic levitator and an
inverted pendulum-cart system. The virtual laboratory has
been successfully used for education and training of Electronics
Engineering students. A discussion of the results of
this e-learning experience is also presented.
