Design and evaluation of web-based virtual microcomputer interfaces laboratory

The microcomputer interfaces experiments are crucial for the students to comprehend some of the computer science related conceptions and theories. However, few students are able to complete the experiments in a limited period in class in the traditional labo- ratory which employed really mainboard, many external components, and many jumper wires. A web-based virtual laboratory platform for microcomputer interface is designed, which enable students to practice the experiments via internet without temporal-limitation and place-limitation. Moreover, the platform is employed in several websites that operated by ministry of education of China.
