Active virtual laboratory on the Internet as an effective tool for learning

At the moment use of Internet virtual libraries and help database in electronic forms already has become norm. Means of the network Internet are used all more often at schools and universities in the educational process. Such approach is suitable almost perfectly for knowledge mastering in humanitarian disciplines, but obviously it is insufficient for the learning in the field of engineering and physics. However nowadays there is a possibility to convert the Internet as a learning tool from passive means into active through inserting of software elements in Web-pages due to occurrence of the Java language. In these conditions the pupil can receive access not only to an extensive library data, but also to the newest software in the field of computer experiments and their visualisation. Such approach allows to not care of distinctions in information technology components (software and hardware), used by the various developers of the software. The modularity of the Java language facilitates development of the projects by spatially shared teams of developers, as the program can be distributed at the Hyperspace. The updating of the program does not require its complete recompilation the replacement of its separate modules is necessary only. In the case of large databases it is possible easily to pass from using of applets to CGI applications. Shown specified features allow to consider virtual laboratories at the network Internet as extremely attractive means for collective creation and application of the software developed and used in various areas of a science and engineering including interactive training systems and realization of computer experiments.
