The virtual control lab VCLab for education on the Web

This contribution shows a way in using the World Wide Web for education. Especially the control engineering aspects are emphasised. In the main part, the Virtual Control Lab (VCLab) developed at Ruhr-University Bochum is presented. This Web approach integrates software which uses the powerful computational engine of MATLAB/SIMULINK to do extensive simulations and interactive animation of control engineering experiments in virtual reality driven by local or Web wide information.
