5. What are Virtual Laboratories ?  A simulated laboratory on the local computer  A set of simulated experiments on a computer  Remote access to experiments via telepresence utilities  For research and learning  A set of real experiments in a laboratory network  Integrated remote or simulated experiments in learning systems 1. Introduction In Engineering Education Hands-on-Experience is needed Simulation and

6. 2. Learning & Media Didactics  Constructivistic Approach –Authentic activities –Explorative learning –Learning from the current situation –Mastering problems, dilemmas –Presentation of multiple aspects  Medial Contemplation –Media are not "containers" of knowledge –Media are tools to (re)construct knowledge
