Abstract

Remote and virtual laboratories aim to overcome typical constraints of traditional laboratories and offer access to laboratory experiments without location and time restrictions. Additionally, the continuous growth of mobile devices' ownership, as well as their increased technical capabilities, have created an emerging trend for supporting mobile access to virtual and remote labs. Existing approaches in this direction are focusing on developing device-dependent mobile apps for accessing the experiment(s) of the original remote or virtual lab. This creates difficulties related to (a) seamless access to experiments of remote or virtual labs across various mobile devices and (b) additional costs that are needed for developing different versions of the same mobile app that meets the specific technical requirements of each mobile device. In this paper, we aim to address this issue by adopting a responsive design approach for developing mobile web apps towards providing seamless access through various mobile devices to existing virtual and remote labs.

支持移动访问虚拟和远程实验室的响应式设计方法

远程和虚拟实验室旨在克服传统实验室的典型限制，提供不受地点和时间限制的实验室实验访问。此外，移动设备所有权的持续增长，以及它们不断增强的技术能力，已经创造了支持移动访问虚拟和远程实验室的新兴趋势。在这个方向上的现有方法是专注于开发设备依赖的移动应用程序，用于访问原始远程或虚拟实验室的实验。这造成了以下方面的困难:(a)跨各种移动设备无缝访问远程或虚拟实验室的实验;(b)开发满足每个移动设备特定技术要求的同一移动应用程序的不同版本所需的额外成本。在本文中，我们的目标是通过采用响应式设计方法来开发移动web应用程序，从而通过各种移动设备无缝访问现有的虚拟和远程实验室，从而解决这个问题。
