Labs at Home

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