Nowadays online resources play an important role in teaching and learning thanks to new advances in technology. This importance is enhanced in scientific areas and even more for distance education universities, where the classic hands-on laboratories are not always possible. For that reason, these face-to-face laboratory practices have been replace...

In order to disseminate and encourage the use of remote experiments, their creation and deployment need to be simplified. This work presents a method to easily develop remote experiments interfaces in Javascript and to quickly embed them in Moodle. This solution requires the use of Easy Java/Javascript Simulations for the development of the interfa...

... The inner communication between the experiment and Remote Laboratory Management System (RLMS) "ensures the transmission of the measured data and preserves them for later use", using Java language to provide communication and diagnostic services. The use of Java application and tools for security issues concerning the communication between equipment and server has had a widespread development in recent years since the most security applications in virtual and remote labs (VRLs) are developed with high-level programming tools using Java [17]. Unfortunately, smart devices usually do not run Java. ...
... Unfortunately, smart devices usually do not run Java. For this reason, Sáenz et al. [17] proposed a structure that allows a remote connection with hardware devices by using a clientserver configuration that serves to the client a JavaScript application; leaving the server a task of running the Java part of the virtual and remote lab. A similar solution was deployed in Herrera et al. [18]. ...
The interest of the educational community in the laboratory- (lab) based education has grown steadily. As remote labs have started to be a reliable alternative to traditional hands-on labs, security and safety issues are becoming increasingly important, as their interconnected nature raises new and challenging issues. The complexity increases when multiple institutions are involved in a federated lab infrastructure. This paper provides a guideline for assessing safety and security in federated labs following the VDI/VDE 2182 guideline and verifies the concept based on remote labs in three different academic institutions.

Recently, the interest of the educational community in laboratory- (lab-) based education has grown steadily. As remote and virtual labs have started to be a reliable alternative to traditional hands-on labs, security and safety issues are becoming increasingly important, especially in the case of remote laboratories, as their interconnected nature raises new and challenging issues. When multiple institutions are involved in a federated labs infrastructure, the complexity increases. Since a structured approach to assess safety and security for federated remote labs is missing, this paper aims at clarifying the general requirements to be considered and proposes a general concept for assessing safety and security in federated labs. Firstly, we analyze the current state on safety and security in remote labs by means of a literature review. Secondly, we investigate existing requirements and define operational requirements for a safety and security guideline in federated remote labs. Thirdly, we provide an overview about standardization approaches and existing guidelines and suggest a guideline, which matches our requirements analysis.
