CAP was developed using N-tier architecture to support web based interactive and collaborative development of Virtual Labs (VL). This is to let the educators focus on the particular logic of their experiments rather than focusing on issues related to user management, deployment, security, audit, collaboration, access control etc.
The CAP allows experiments to be deployed online in a hosted environment and securely accessed by learners in remote locations. It facilitates the development, user management, deployment, sharing and scalability of the platform to support hundreds of labs and thousands of users. The primary users are faculty, course developers, learners, remote lab providers and administrators.
