Abstract
In the environment of expansion of college enrollment, the current teaching resources cannot satisfy the requirements of students’ learning, which greatly restricts the students' learning interest, especially in the course of automatic control principle. With the development of computer technology and virtual instrument technology, the emergence of virtual laboratory not only provides a beneficial supplement for the traditional experiment, but also extends the experiment without limitation of time and space. Based on the concept of virtual laboratory, a virtual experiment platform is proposed for the course of automatic control principle by applying B/S network architecture and Mysql database in LABview software. The realizations of virtual experiment platform such as remote network design, interface design, basic and innovative experimental contents are further studied in this paper. This virtual experimental platform can provide network remote access for students and offer an online environment for teachers to check experimental results. This platform has completely broken the traditional experimental model and helps students to cultivate creative ability. The characteristic of excellent openness and flexibility can ensure adding new function for future education development in this platform. Further to the observation of the teaching effect of this platform applied in the Nanfang College of Sun Yat-Sen University, students are more willing to accept the automatic control principle course combined with virtual experimental platform.
