Performing experiments in 3rd party premises using cloud-based virtual machine as remote laboratory: Case study of controlled experiment with high school students in their school

In this paper we use a case study of a controlled experiment to present a flexible laboratory architectural solution to controlled experiment environments. In our case we used a virtual machine as a remote laboratory to enable a convenient experimentation. Thanks to our architecture we were able to automate and centralize the environment administration, and data collection. In this paper we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the approach.
