随着网络学习的空前发展，越来越多的新IT技术被用于开发网络学习工具。作为最常见的社会计算形式之一，Wiki技术已经被用于开发协作和协作学习平台，以支持多用户有效地在线学习。本文结合Wiki技术和远程实验室技术的优点，提出了一种新型的基于Wiki的远程实验室平台的软件架构。该平台是基于远程实验室开发的统一框架和开源维基软件包MediaWiki实现的。为了验证该平台的有效性，将智能振动平台(SVP)和比例积分-微分(PID)电机速度控制两个远程实验集成到该平台中。这个新的基于维基的远程实验室已经被用于在休斯顿大学教授机械工程课程和创建学生作业。
With the unprecedented growth of e-learning, more and more new IT technologies are used to develop e-learning tools. As one of the most common forms of social computing, Wiki technology has been used to develop the collaborative and cooperative learning platform to support multiple users learning online effectively. In this paper, we propose a new software architecture to create a novel wiki-based remote laboratory platform by combining the advantages of both Wiki technology and remote laboratory technology. This platform is implemented based on a unified framework for remote laboratory development and an open source wiki software package, MediaWiki. To illustrate the effectiveness of this platform, two remote experiments, Smart Vibration Platform (SVP) and Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) motor speed control, are integrated into this platform. This new wiki-based remote laboratory has been used for teaching Mechanical Engineering courses and creating students' assignments at the University of Houston.
