Integration of virtual instrument systems in reality (VISIR) OpenLabs with Khouribga OnlineLab

Engineering is a hands-on practicing; it is the application of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) for solving problems and creating benefits for human kinds. Therefore practical works is one of the cornerstones of engineering. The thing that urges engineers to seek for knowledge that goes beyond the traditional proficiency gained in traditional laboratories. Albeit, the quality of these laboratories has evolved over years. This contribution presents our recent work to develop our online laboratory, the Khouribga OnlineLab at Hassan the 1st university in Morocco. It will focus, in particular, on our first experience to develop an analog online laboratory based on VISIR. VISIR remote laboratory is a platform that provides electronic experiments in a highly flexible online workbench. The platform allows learners to build and test circuits in a similar way as in traditional hands on laboratories. This online analogue laboratory was deployed on the interactive version of iLab Shared architecture (ISA), students will have a complete access to manage and control the system in real time.
