Abstract

In this publication, we introduce the Labs@Home framework, which enables students to conduct laboratory elements of courses on their personal computing equipment. A major benefit of this approach is that students are able to progress through assignments at a time and pace of their choice, before submitting the results to the instructor for review. The introduced framework is based on capturing differences between versions of the virtual machines and exchanging these between instructor and students. We are currently implementing several parts of the framework and expect to evaluate its implementation in the near future.
