Two distance courses on the implementation of interactive virtual-labs are presented in this manuscript. Their audience is Science teachers who wish to make efficient use of interactive simulation in their classes. The first course, entitled “Laboratorios virtuales interactivos: un enfoque creativo para la
enseñanza de las Ciencias en el aula y a través de Internet”, is part of the Continuing Education Program offered by UNED, the National Open University of Spain. The second course is a concise version of the first one. It is a free online course, written in English language, entitled “Virtual-lab implementation with Ejs”. This web-based course got the second award in the “Best Designed Course” competition of the 6th International Conference on Virtual University (December 2005, Bratislava, Slovak Republic). The simulation environment used to implement the virtual-labs is Easy Java Simulations (Ejs): a freeware, open source, Java-based tool conceived to be used by people with little programming skills.
