Abstract :
The object of this article is to propose a contribution to the development of remote laboratories for carrying on online practical activities in computer science by using virtualization technologies. After an introduction to the general concept of online laboratories, a description of virtualization technologies is done to show how their use is possible in the implementation of an online laboratory. This online laboratory is viewed as a pedagogical resource, which is used by the learners to realize pedagogical activities according to a project-based pedagogy named MAETIC. Our approach aims to provide an answer to the problematic of supervision and monitoring of students engaged in online practical activities and the evaluation of the skills acquisition.
