教育和培训机构越来越依赖基于网络的学习管理系统（LMS）来提供校内和远程课程的课程内容。该系统提供了一个易于访问的环境，有各种工具来管理学习者和课程，并产生丰富的内容。然而，除了丰富的内容外，某些领域的学习要求课程伴随着实验活动，以帮助学习者加深对新概念的理解，并培养在接近现实环境中应用这些概念的技能。当以实验为基础的课程出现并证明在传递信息方面运作良好时，这些活动得到了更多的重视。已经建立了几个独立的实验室，以支持联机进行这些活动，但在LMS内没有实验室工具。为了解决这一点，我们的研究提出了一种将一个独立实验室（NVLab）集成到Sakai LMS中的方法，以便在课程环境中使用实验室活动。该研究建议将原始系统的部分集成到Sakai中，然后使用LMS的“链接工具”连接到另一部分。到目前为止，新工具的初始版本已经完成，我们正在Sakai的演示版本上测试新工具，然后将其投入校园范围内的系统中。
Educational and training-providinginstitutions are increasingly depending on the web-based Learning Management System (LMS) for delivering course-contents in both on-campus and distance classes. This system offers an easily-accessible environment with various tools for managing learners and courses, and for producing rich contents. However, beside the rich contents, certain fields of study require that courses be accompanied with/followed by laboratory activities which help learners deepen their understanding of the new concepts and develop skills on applying them in close-to-real-world context. More emphasize has been put on these activities when laboratory-based courses appeared and proved to be functioning well in delivering the information. Several stand-alone laboratories have been constructed to support delivery of such activities on-line, but laboratory-tools are not available within the LMS. To address this point, our research presents an approach towards integrating one stand-alone laboratory (NVLab) into Sakai LMS to enable the use of laboratory activities within the course context. The study suggests integrating parts of the original system into Sakai, and then using the LMS's “linktool“ to connect to the other part. So far, an initial version of the new tool has been accomplished and we are in the testing phase of the new tool on a demo version of Sakai before putting it into service within the campus-wide system.
