In this paper, we describe the design of the WebVPL system, a Web-based Virtual Programming Lab for on-line distance learning. The underlying setting is a collection of Lab server computers hosting education and programming software. Students use personal computers at home to access over the Internet one of the Lab servers, which performs functions to accommodate various requests from the student such as software usage. The lab servers can be located in different buildings and even at different campuses. WebVPL facilitates resource sharing among different schools and overcomes the limit of geographical distances. The design of the WebVPL system includes the user interface, agent-based client side functions, the structuring of Lab servers, the mechanisms to locate user requested software packages / services and to present various forms of data and information, and the interfaces to various education and programming software packages. We discuss various implementation issues and describe a prototype of the WebVPL.
