TABLE OF CONTENTS This application presents a web-based virtual laboratory for learning of MATLAB. Using this virtual laboratory, users could write their own MATLAB M-files and execute them using the MATLAB web server. In addition, web-based remote laboratory-experiment RC oscillator for learning of control design is presented. In RC oscillator experiment, interactivity between the controller design parameters in Bode plot and Root Locus with real experiment has been implemented in order to support full visualization of the controller design.
The Internet (Web) has become a widespread tool for teaching and learning. The Web enables more flexible delivery, distance education, new visualization possibilities, and cost reduction. Virtual and remote web-based laboratories have been developed to date. Remote web-based laboratories are based on sharing the same resources over the Internet. Therefore, remote laboratories are rarely opened to the public rather their use is limited to the assigned users.
The first one is a virtual laboratory that supports learning of MATLAB. In this virtual laboratory users can write their own MATLAB M-files and execute them using the MATLAB web server. The second web-based laboratory is a remote laboratory that supports the learning of control theory and control design. RC oscillator web-based remote control experiment is represented. For RC oscillator controller design, a visualization of controller design parameters is implemented interactively with the remote control experiment.
In engineering education, MATLAB is frequently one of the tools used to support...
