Abstract :
Online virtual laboratory is important for online science education. CyberLab is a toolkit for online virtual experiments. It is able to handle the creation, exportation, and execution of virtual experiments. We believe CyberLab is the first toolkit that allows instructors, who do not know computer programming, to create their own online virtual experiments. This paper briefly introduces the underlying model and the architecture of CyberLab.
