Access Control for Shared Remote Laboratories

摘要

Remote experiments can be shared and exchanged among educational institutions in the form of reusable learning objects. The -paper discusses different solutions for authentication and authorization needs when "Lab Learning Objects" are used through the Learning Management System of an institution to run a remote experiment based on physical resources (rigs) provided by an external experiment provider organization. The solutions are based on the use of SCORM as a framework for learning objects, the definition of a third-party rig booking system and the use of Shibboleth as an optional framework for a federated authentication and authorization.
