Abstract
As the world of technology offers a rapidly increasing number of outlets for creativity and communications, a worldwide education is undergoing a significant renovation. Today, students can have the access to virtual classroom from anywhere, at any time. While E-learning, E-education and remote education are highly encouraged thanks to their obvious advantages, there is a necessity to explore the network service, QoS, organization and structure of these modern teaching-learning approaches. Widely adopted by numerous universities and institutions, the remote distributed virtual laboratory is an important technology for delivering highly efficient and effective E-learning, E-education and remote education in many disciplines. For this reason, in this paper, a number of key problems of this critical technology are discussed, with the goal of providing references and solutions for successful and smooth implementation.
