Introduction to WLab

WLab is a web application that provides a virtual lab environment for any workshop activity that requires the use of a computer. WLab makes use of virtual machines to deliver an IT environment in which a student can perform the tasks involved in the lab exercise, regardless of the local computer they are using.

WLab allows tutors to design and publish lab exercises that are divided into stages; each stage contains a complete virtual machine, along with – if required –appropriate static learning material that complements the activities of the lab. Students access these labs through any standard web browser.
