Abstract-Based on a grid concept of an interactive hybrid online laboratory we will describe different fields of applications in different learning scenarios. The infrastructure is based on a universal grid concept which guaranties a reliable, flexible as well as robust usage of this online lab. By using the online lab, students are able to design control algorithms with different specification techniques to control electro-mechanical models in the online lab. Additionally, the reconfigurable rapid prototyping platform of the REAL system can be used to test all the taught topics of a given lectures in the field of digital system design. Finally, a special demonstration platform (a ball in a labyrinth on a balance plate) can be used to give the students a better feeling about the possibilities and limitations of remote control and observation via Internet and to evaluate these technologies critically. The implemented online lab infrastructure is based on the iLab architecture of the MIT, which allows to interconnect online labs and to exchange remote lab experiments among different universities worldwide.Index Terms-control engineering education, laboratories, Web-based education, virtual and remote labs, Web-based design tools, distance learning.
Abstract-The Ilmenau Interactive Hybrid Online Lab offers several fields of application. In this article an enhancement of the existing Online Lab will be described to provide additional functionalities for a Web-based rapid prototyping of digital systems as well as the Web-based verification of such systems. For this new operation mode of the online lab a special rapid-prototyping board for digital systems was developed to fulfill the design tasks of digital systems. All the components of the rapid prototyping board will be described in detail. The implemented online lab infrastructure allows to interconnect online labs and to exchange remote lab experiments among different universities worldwide.Index Terms-control engineering education, laboratories, Web-based education, virtual and remote labs, Web-based design tools, distance learning, rapid prototyping.

After a short discussion of the GOLDi remote lab infrastructure, the new experiment control panel (ECP) and the integrated Graphical Interactive Finite State Machine toolset (GIFT) main focus of the paper is the interconnection of multiple remote labs (based on the GOLDi infrastructure) to a remote lab cloud. Within two running TEMPUS projects ten remote labs in four countries can be used worldwide. Based on this cloud structure it is necessary to adapt the complex GOLDi access control system. With this new reservation system possibilities for an effective worldwide experiment management will be available, which will be described in the article.
