Abstract
This paper describes a web-based combined laboratory for a 8051 microcontroller-related experiment which is composed of a virtual lab and a real time remote laboratory. Authorized users are allowed to have access to both labs using a web browser. The virtual laboratory cooperates with the remote laboratory to help learners easily understand the principal concepts and the process of complex experimental operations about the 8051 microcontroller. The former is implemented by Java applets and Flash animations, and the latter network technologies such as web-based compilation and socket communication, which enables remote experimental devices to be controlled by local learners, compensating for the lack of reality in the virtual experiment. The proposed laboratory provides learners with almost all the same advantages as a real lab environment.
