As E-Learning is currently developing worldwide and offering a growing range of e-training vectors such as multicast course, virtual classroom, ... and other theoretical medias, electronic laboratory seems to have a less fast development. However, neither technical nor scientific education could be given without practical experimentation. This paper proposes a start of reflection on how E-Labs could comply with emerging e- content standards. In order to be realistic, we base this reflection on a real E-Lab. platform, TIPY, previously made from scratch, which permits us to focus on how this integration could be realized. In the long run, we should profit from current intensive E-Learning standardization process to propose a reusable generic platform to be homogeneously integrated in modern Learning Management Systems.
