Abstract :
In order to enhance learning of control design, minimise the gap between theory and practice and especially to support learning by doing we built two Web-based laboratories. This paper presents the two Web based laboratories: a MATLAB Web server (IMWS) based virtual laboratory for learning of control design and a remote laboratory. Using MWS based virtual laboratory, students could run prepared application as well as write their own MATLAB M-files and execute them using the MATLAB Web server. The Web-based remote laboratory is presented through a RC oscillator experiment for learning of control design. In RC oscillator experiment, interactivity between the controller design parameters in Bode plot and Root Locus with real experiment has been implemented in order to support full visualisation of the controller design
