Latest Report from the SloanConsortium shows that over 6.1 million students were taking at least one online course duringthe fall 2010 term, an increase of 560,000 students over the previous year1. However, with thegrowing popularity of online education, it is inevitable reality and necessity of Internet enabledexperiments in engineering and other Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics(STEM) fields. In general, there are two approaches to conducting experiments online, namelyvirtual laboratory and remote laboratory2. The virtual laboratory is based on software such asLabVIEW (short for Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation Engineering Workbench),Matlab/Simulink, Java Applet, Flash or other

Barriers to access havedetrimental effects on the employment, education, food, and healthcare of low-incomehouseholds and underserved communities [1,2]. These communities are also more likely to delaymedical care due to limitations in transportation services [2]. Additionally, involving Black,Indigenous, and Latino/a students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics(STEM) research that

However, graduation and transfer rates for students attending 2-yearinstitutions and pursuing 4-year degrees are disappointingly low, especially those studentsmajoring in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines

Precisely, they have elaborated a variety of lab experiments and capstone projects which allowstudents for integrating a real-world testbed for various research and learning purposes. Furthermore, Mirkovic and Benzel [7] presented DeterLab, a open technology based on Emulab. This technology is anexperimental space/resource sponsored by the US National Science Foundation and Department of Homeland Security andthis facility is dedicated for online cyber security learning. In this facility, while students can reserve entities (available nodesout of 400 computing nodes in total) via an online interface, they are allowed to keep remote access (virtual session login) tovirtual nodes for a very short period of time only in order to
