Development of a virtual laboratory on the internet as support for physics laboratory training

Abstract

A virtual physics laboratory is being developed in the Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenierı́a Informática of the Universidad de Valladolid (UVA). This laboratory will be accessible via the internet, and its main aim is to provide support for the real physics laboratory. In this paper we describe the main steps taken to develop such a laboratory. This virtual laboratory is currently accessible from http://cawdor.fa2.etit.uva.es/laboratorio/index.html.
