Abstract :
E-learning refers to the way to deliver learning content by means of computer technology. E-learning is classified to synchronous and asynchronous; each has its advantages and disadvantages. Virtual lab is an example of an e-learning and it´s a simulated environment which enables students and professionals to do the exercises. The aim of this research is to design and implement an architecture of virtual lab based on multi-agents system. The multi-agent system overcomes some limitations of the well known server-client model. Using multi-agents based virtual lab system provides an adaptable, interactive, extensible, distributed, collaborative virtual lab system to effectively realize the learning anytime and anywhere to our approach.
