Abstract
One of the weakest fields in WWW-based education is practical training, which is carried out in teaching laboratories in conventional education. SimulNet is a simulation-based platform for virtual laboratories on the internet, that supports interactive and collaborative practical training. Over the past few years, some simulators have been developed for the SimulNet platform focused on the area of computer architecture. Now, we present a Pascal simulator that provides an environment where learners can experience high level programming concepts in the same way they can when using compilers like Turbo Pascal or Free Pascal. In this way, learners are provided with the same programming facilities of an integrated development environment but in a virtual laboratory environment, where communication, collaboration and supervision are possible.
