dotLAB: Integrating remote labs in dotLRN

Nowadays, there are a great number of universities and organizations working in e-learning solutions. One of most well-known is the learning management system or LMS that allow displaying theoretical content in an organized and controlled way. In some jobs and studies it is necessary that the student get a practical knowledge as well as a theoretical knowledge. To obtain this practical knowledge, the universities and organizations are developing virtual labs and Web labs. At these moments the LMS and Web labs are working independently. We are designing and developing a new architecture allowing the integration of the LMS with different Web labs from different universities. This architecture must allow the student, teachers and administrators to use the LMS's services and virtual labs as if he was working with the same software..
