natural sciences. Besides experiment and theory nowadays, simulations become increasingly relevant.
In particular in distance education, due to the absence of in-class teaching a comprehensive IT
infrastructure is necessary, allowing for the mutual use of a broad variety of remote controllable
experimental set ups and virtual laboratories through students and professors.
So far, such solutions have mostly been limited to individual universities and research institutions.
Since these are yet by construction available over the Internet, and thus independent of the location,
the challenge is to build a comprehensive web-based portal infrastructure for experimental set ups
under open source/access/content policy. In this article we discuss the underlying architecture, give
some examples of typical components and highlight our background and motivation.User Adaptive Interactive Courses in SCORM Compliant Learning Management Systemshttps://puma.ub.uni-stuttgart.de/bibtex/25425e39a3705c8b2b18c5a1ab6f61c96/thomasrichterthomasrichter2016-03-10T09:18:49+01:00Laboratories, Learning Systems, SCORM, Adaptive Systems.

Management Virtual Course Traditional on-line courses are static: Unaware
of the learner, they present the same content to every user
that participates in the course, independent of the
background and the experience of the learner. Furthermore,
content is often static and leaves little freedom to the
learner. One might argue that this is because currently
applied standards like SCORM 1.2 do not allow much more
than static content linked statically within the learning
management system. However, while the upcoming SCORM
2004 addresses adaptivity at the level of the learning
management system, we present a class of dynamic
interactive content objects in this paper that provide
adaptivity at the level of the learning objects themselves
while also leaving lots of freedom to the learner. Since the
data mining required for adaptivity happens outside of the
learning management system, the presented learning objects
already provide their full functionality within SCORM 1.2.User Adaptive Interactive Courses in SCORM Compliant Learning Management Systemshttps://puma.ub.uni-stuttgart.de/bibtex/294d018e6ec4558ba5bd74c9e59672ce7/thomasrichterthomasrichter2016-03-10T09:18:49+01:00laboratories, LMS virtual SCORM, <span data-person-type="author" class="authorEditorList "><span><span itemtype="http://schema.org/Person" itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author"><a title="Sabina Jeschke" itemprop="url" href="/person/145a16fb78ce634d83a3d568aec55f2ee/author/0"><span itemprop="name">S.

Yet, they form an essential part of the scientific methodology within the technological disciplines. Additionally, the ability to cooperate and work in teams when performing experiments is crucial. By integrating experimental setups into a virtual cooperative knowledge space, availability and accessibility can be enhanced for a wide range of people, working individually or in groups, making them independent of limitations in time, budget or access to classical laboratories. This article describes a SOAP-based architecture by which this objective can be achieved, and which is currently being implemented for CURE, a room-based cooperative knowledge space platform developed at FernUniversitaet Hagen.Algorithms on Graphs: Automatic Course Verification in eLearninghttps://puma.ub.uni-stuttgart.de/bibtex/2e4c4e064999d3bb2bab260d110b2fead/thomasrichterthomasrichter2016-03-10T09:18:49+01:00Laboratories, System, training Management Virtual eLearning Course applications, <span data-person-type="author" class="authorEditorList "><span><span itemtype="http://schema.org/Person" itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author"><a title="Sabina Jeschke" itemprop="url" href="/person/143ee6a67023358af13d5836c45fe629b/author/0"><span itemprop="name">S.

design eLearning courses as \emph{storyboard graphs} whose nodes are
elementary training units and whose edges encode dependencies between
them. A well-designed storyboard is then able to adapt the course to learner
by observing the history of the learning path and propose suitable course
elements to the student. However, setting up a storyboard and testing it
for correctness and completeness is a tedious task that can be well taken
over by the computer, too. Since storyboards are mathematically described
as graphs, known algorithms on graphs are readily deployed here and help
authors to setup consistent courses.
In this article, we introduce our course management ``Marvin'', describe
its properties in an eLearning framework designed to run interactive
experiments, so called ``Virtual Labs'', and introduce the structure of
its courses. We then define the terms \emph{correctness} and
\emph{completeness} of a course within the system and describe algorithms
that help authors to test for these properties.\\
