Remote real laboratories in massive open on-line laboratories (MOOLs): A live demonstration at experimenta@2015

Attempts to build MOOLs over major remote laboratories lead to disappointing results in terms of scalability to large student target audience. Nevertheless e-lab framework developed at IST was designed from scratch to serve many simultaneous users attached at the same time to the same remote experiment. Whereas as an alternative many MOOLs infrastructure rely on deferred batch execution or data-base mining on previous recorded data, e-lab always rely on real-time data taken from online running experiments. In this demonstration we shall address this two complementary paradigms and point out how a compromise can be achieved in the case the "massive" is assumed in moderated terms.
