Abstract :
In order to support broad adoption of remote labs in elementary and secondary schools, we need to provide powerful, easy-to-use interfaces, not just to students, but also to teachers. We are developing tools to provide richer, technology-supported representations that improve teachers´ ability to visualize student remote lab activities and diagnose misconceptions with the goal of maximizing remote lab´s educational value and impact.
