Unfortunately, the recent change of the university program in Germany from the Diploma to the Bachelor/Master model had a direct negative impact on the curricula and the course schedules. The result of which is that the first-year curriculum is overloaded; exercises or practical courses have been dropped altogether from the first term, have been rescheduled to later terms and have been reduced in length. For this reason, other forms of experimenting have to be developed and integrated into the existing courses or lectures; virtual laboratories and remote experiments offer such an option: they enable students to access equipment 24h/7 days a week, they are independent from opening hours and the work schedule of the staff. Furthermore, simulations do have some other advantages: they provide a better control on the simulated phenomenon, allow observing effects and running experiments that are only very hard to measure or perform in practical applications. Another advantage besides their cost-efficiency is that simulations allow observations of effects in a simplified environment without any measurement errors. Therefore, remote and virtual experiments have already or will soon be set up by various universities across Europe. However, building a pool of experiments sufficient to cover all of undergraduate physics is an overwhelmingly complex and costly task for a single university to handle on its own. Therefore, the EU funded LiLa project - short for "Library of Labs" - is building a network of virtual laboratories and remote experiments. The LiLa Portal provides access to manifold experiments, free to use in courses and lectures. Additionally, LiLa partners will profit from the experience gained from using remote experiments, and the LiLa network will provide best-practices in applications of remote experim- - ents. This article starts with an introduction of LiLa and its aims; it then presents the integration of virtual labs and remote experiments into an existing course, "Physics for Engineers", at the University of Stuttgart. We introduce our concept for exercises with present some results of the pilot phase which took place in the winter term 2009/2010 and also some results on the winter term 2010/2011.ViPLab - A Virtual Programming Laboratory for Mathematics and Engineeringhttps://puma.ub.uni-stuttgart.de/bibtex/228871c3215a5916733415e82aa51144f/rainerreichelrainerreichel2016-03-03T17:45:04+01:00Courses, Laboratory, MATLAB, Online Programming, Simulation Virtual <span data-person-type="author" class="authorEditorList "><span><span itemtype="http://schema.org/Person" itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author"><a title="Th.

states and the recent change of the German university system from the
Diploma to the Bachelor/Master system, studies at German universities have
been redesigned; courses have been condensed and learning content has been
re-structured into granular modules, each of which requires an
evaluation at the end of the semester. Simultaneously, the skills required
for working in research and development changed as well; handling of computer software,
knowledge of mathematical or numerical algorithms and programming skills
play an increasingly important role in the daily job routine of the working
engineer. To support learning by practical exercises, engineering faculties,
the faculties of mathematics and physics, and the Computing Center of the
University of Stuttgart setup a project for implementing an online
programming lab for teaching the required skills. The focus of this project
is to provide easy access to the necessary software tools, avoid the
overhead of installation and maintenance, and seamlessly integrate these
tools into the eLearning infrastructure of the university. This paper
describes the motivation and backgrounds, the software infrastructure and
early results of this project.A rig booking system for on-line laboratorieshttps://puma.ub.uni-stuttgart.de/bibtex/24240eb79f5ae62b36181d4068ccc5adf/rainerreichelrainerreichel2016-03-03T17:45:04+01:00Experiments;Reservation Internet;computer System;design aided approximation;Portals;Remote booking computer;rig consortium;online control;Availability;Conferences;Ecosystems;Engineering design;technical design;virtual education;Least experiments for group;educational institution;global institutions;virtual instruction;digital instrumentation;LiLa lab laboratory;Access laboratory;physical libraries;educational model;cooperating online project;conceptual remote resource;remote squares system <span data-person-type="author" class="authorEditorList "><span><span itemtype="http://schema.org/Person" itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author"><a title="A.

While usage of virtual laboratories scales well, remote experiments, based on scarce and expensive rigs, i.e. physical resources, do not and typically can only be used by one person or cooperating group at a time. It is therefore necessary to administer the access to rigs, where we distinguish between three different roles: content providers, teachers and students. This paper reports on a conceptual model and technical design of a rig booking system that provides mechanisms for content providers and teachers to control and grant access to on-line remote laboratories. The design of the booking system is based on a requirements analysis carried out by the EC funded LiLa project in cooperation with international partners from the Global Online Lab Consortium, GoLC.A metadata model for online laboratorieshttps://puma.ub.uni-stuttgart.de/bibtex/2914b5772ac7bad44e26289b4649944ee/rainerreichelrainerreichel2016-03-03T17:45:04+01:00Experiments, Metadata, Online Semantic Web <span data-person-type="author" class="authorEditorList "><span><span itemtype="http://schema.org/Person" itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author"><a title="P.P.

While our university provided access to computer programming languages and computer algebra systems, their installation on the students home computer often turned out to be a challenge and solving installation problems required an essential time of any freshmen course. To overcome these problems, the University of Stuttgart developed an online web-based programming tool, the VipLab, which allows hosting manifold computer programming systems from C to MATLAB while providing a simple online development environment to students. In the past, this programming lab was based on SCORM modules, following our own conventions defined in the LiLa project. However, SCORM has a couple of limitations, too, and the overall weak integration requires a needlessly complicated workflow for both lecturers creating exercises and students handing in homework solutions. In this work, we describe these limitations and how to overcome them by a solution specific to the Learning Management System (LMS) used at the University of Stuttgart.
