Educational laboratories are places for realizing experimentations and they are important for modern engineering education. The problem is what if there are simply not enough devices or time for conducting experimentation in a local lab?

Nowadays, there are two types of online labs, virtual and remote labs. Virtual labs that provide simulation environments for experimentations, remote labs are based on conducting the experimentation remotely through the Internet. In this paper, an example of a successful development and deployment of a cloud based remote lab in the field of engineering education, integrated in the Moodle platform, using very low-coast, high documented devices and free software. The remote lab is user friendly for both trainers and students.
