Laboratory activities are essential components of engineering education and professional practices. Nowadays, simulation-based laboratory and Internet-controlled remote laboratories are available in many educational institutions: this new scenario offers the potential for a deeper integration of practice with traditional lectures, and for a much wider and more efficient use of laboratories. Furthermore, it opens the road for the integration of laboratories into distance learning activities. In the paper, after a review of the current offer of both simulated and remote experiments, we present our approach to treat them as standard learning objects and to store them in a repository that has been developed on purpose. Last, we propose an integrated environment for an efficient exploitation of the experiments packaged as learning objects.
