Modern e-learning technologies provide various opportunities for students and teachers. E-learning in engineering education has some specific facets, for instance, in classes where a task or experiment is associated with some specific equipment. Therefore, in engineering education, there are some domain-specific issues to solve: (a) the time of usage of equipment in laboratories is not always efficiently disposed, (b) data of experiments and practical work disappear or are saved on different devices and in different laboratories, (c) other educational institutions are not able to acquire or use special equipment or appliances, (d) main part of equipment can be inaccessible for those students who receive remote education, and (e) it is difficult to organise effective feedback between student and teacher. In the training platforms, it is also important to consider the need of the student to acquire practical skills in using laboratory equipment. The presented work proposes a prototype software platform that integrates the equipment, located in different laboratories of Virumaa College at Tallinn University of Technology, and enables students to use the equipment remotely.
