Abstract:
A system, method, and computer program product for a remotely accessible, on-line virtual-system education lab. In this embodiment, students can connect with the lab server from any client system connected, directly or indirectly, with a common network, using a conventional web browser or other thin client. When the client connects, the server will create a virtual lab computer system which the user can operate and manipulate through the client system, as if he were working at a conventional lab computer system. The preferred embodiment allows the user to save the state of the lab at any time, to resume later, and will load specific system states on the virtual lab computer system according to the user's identity and selections.
