Abstract
Human learning over the Internet (e-learning) aims to improve both the availability of information and the performance of the students involved. Virtual laboratories are one form of e-learning in which students learn practical skills by carrying out practical work. Our work here discusses the impact of e-learning, virtual labs and intelligent tutoring systems in education. We also introduce a neural network e- lab, which has seve ral features that support active learning and assist the assessment of the students.
