The expansion of the Internet has supported the development of online teaching resources based on this communication media (e-learning). However, the possibility to run experiments on remoteaccessible Labs, in a teaching context, is a more recent fact. This paper describes the framework for delivering through the Web, a course on Design for Debug and Test that contains several practical exercises involving the use of the IEEE 1149.1 and 1149.4 test infrastructures. The exercises are done in a remote-accessible Lab, installed at our facilities, through a simple interface readable on any web browser. By using a complete Java-based solution, there is no need for installing any sort of plug-ins at the client computer as it happens in other similar approaches that require some sort of downloading extra software or the development of Common Gateway Interfaces (CGIs).
