For instance, an interactive Web-based virtual laboratory on fluid mechanics was recently reported, which aims to enhance thestudents’ understanding of some complex concepts of fluid mechanics through simulations.9 Thisvirtual laboratory integrates the analysis results with advanced graphics and animations. Thus, itattempts to provide the students with a realistic feel of the experiments.On the other hand, remote laboratories consist of the actual hardware (i.e. experimental devicestogether with actuators and sensors to manipulate and monitor them remotely) and
