Engineering is a discipline which has, by its own definition, a large amount of practical contents. Allowing students to interact with real equipment can give to them a qualitative knowledge that cannot be obtained in other way. In this situation, remote laboratories are especially useful. This paper presents a way of reusing remote labs code by its XML representation. The idea is that students learn not only the basic subjects of the course, even more, that students do not only manipulate lab equipment. The idea is to give the students a practical way to check the potential of work organization and to give a taste of the powerfulness of code reusing, that is, in the end, a way to improve work efficiency}, number={S5}, journal={International Journal of Online and Biomedical Engineering (iJOE)}, author={Pastor-Vargas, Rafael and Sánchez, Daniel and Ros Muñoz, Salvador and Hernández Berlinches, Roberto and Caminero, Agustín Carlos and Tobarra, María de los Llanos and Robles-Gómez, Antonio and Castro Gil, Manuel and Diaz Orueta, Gabriel and San Cristobal, Elio and et al.}, year={2013}, month={May}, pages={pp. 5–12} }
