本标准定义了将在线实验室和相关数据存储、检索和访问为智能交互式学习对象的方法。为此，本标准将在线实验室（lab）定义为实验室即服务（LaaS）。该标准还定义了将在线实验室整合为学习环境和学习对象存储库中的智能学习对象的方法。最后，本标准通过用例演示了遵守本文定义的方法如何满足教学目标。在本标准中，LaaS定义为满足第一级标准化所需满足的一组接口要求。这提供了一个标准接口。一旦这个界面建立起来，在线实验室应该作为学习对象融入学习框架，以提供教学价值。然而，这种能力并不是可以保证的。 因此，第二级标准化被定义为一套推荐做法。

This standard defines methods for storing, retrieving, and accessing online laboratories and associated data as smart and interactive learning objects. For this purpose, the standard does so within the context of defining an online laboratory (lab) as a Lab as a Service (LaaS). The standard also defines methods for integrating online laboratories as smart learning objects in learning environments and learning object repositories. Finally, this standard demonstrates, through use cases, how adhering to the methods defined herein can satisfy pedagogical objectives. Within the context of this standard, LaaS is defined as a set of interface requirements to be met to satisfy the first level of standardization. This provides a standard interface. Once this interface is established, an online laboratory should fit within learning frameworks as a Learning Object to provide pedagogical value. This capability, however, is not something that can be guaranteed. Therefore, the second level of standardization is defined as a set of recommended practices.
