Design Virtual Learning Labs for Courses in Computational Science with use of Cloud Computing Technologies

This paper describes the approach to the design and implementation of a v irtual learning laboratory (VLL) with the use of cloud computing technologies within the model of AaaS (Application as a Service). The formal model of composite application and a set of learning models using cloud-based VLL are proposed. The relation to learning objectives in accordance with the revised Bloom's taxonomy was identified for each model. The software tool to automate the creation and configuration VLL, based on the cloud computing platform CLAVIRE are presented. The paper ends with the description of case study implementation with the use of the offered approach.
