This paper reports the realization of a MATLAB- based electromagnetic-fields virtual laboratory, and experimen- tation in the teaching of undergraduate Introductory Electro- magnetics courses. The choice of the developing environment is discussed in the light of authoring issues and user advantages. The virtual laboratory is described in terms of its functionalities, and a selection of examples is illustrated, showing its actual didactic use. The software architecture produced, including the Web interface, is briefly described and the possible extensions or different uses of the environment realized discussed. The positive response from students in a two-year classroom experience is reported, and future developments are outlined.

Abstract
This paper reports the realization of a MATLAB- based electromagnetic-fields virtual laboratory, and experimen- tation in the teaching of undergraduate Introductory Electro- magnetics courses. The choice of the developing environment is discussed in the light of authoring issues and user advantages. The virtual laboratory is described in terms of its functionalities, and a selection of examples is illustrated, showing its actual didactic use. The software architecture produced, including the Web interface, is briefly described and the possible extensions or different uses of the environment realized discussed. The positive response from students in a two-year classroom experience is reported, and future developments are outlined.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
