Carolina University, located in Greenville, North Carolina, havedevised an interesting approach to offering a remote laboratory experience to their students:They create a virtual laboratory environment consisting of virtual machines, which communicatewith one another over a virtual network. The virtual laboratory environments are then distributedto their students, who, in turn, run them “remotely” on their own computers at home. Theparticular environment reviewed is a virtual network security laboratory used to teach theoperation of an intrusion detection system (IDS) wherein the instructor pre-configured therequisite virtual machines and network trace files9.By having the virtual laboratory environment hosted in the non-virtual operation system

some researchers11,22,6 question the value of lab experiments,there is no doubt that the lab experiment is a commonly employed teaching tool in industrialtechnology. The purpose of laboratory experiments in industrial technology is, as Gillet,Latchman, Salzmann, and Crisalle10 said, “…to motivate, illustrate, and enlighten thepresentation of the subject matter addressed in the lecture” (p. 190).A written report often follows the lab experiment in order to cause the student to reflect on,summarize, and quantify the laboratory experience. To learn by doing in the laboratory,followed by reflecting on that experience and writing about it in the form of a report, can onlyfurther enhance learning.
