IntroductionThe use of the Internet for classroom and distance education has received increasing attentionover the past few years 1,2. Of particular interest for engineering and technology education is theuse of the Internet for the delivery of virtual laboratories 3-9. Virtual laboratories have numerousmerits that they share with classical laboratories and can achieve similar objectives, such asestablishing links between theory and practice and helping students visualize concepts, but at areduced cost. The objective here is to suggest that the cost of integrating virtual laboratories canbe further reduced by using the global nature of the Internet; not using it

This need has resulted in some educators “inverting” theclassroom.

The use of learning technologies, particularly multimedia, provides new opportunities forstudents to learn, opportunities that are not possible with other media. . . . The instructors focuson the desired outcome (for instance, having the student prepared for discussion) and allow thestudent to choose the best method to reach that outcome.” Although the flipped
