This research is motivated by the need for practical experience in the laboratory to support the theoretical experience of concepts in algorithms and programming languages courses. However, the reality is that in experiments from theoretical the concept has not been integrated into online learning which is the main choice in learning during this pandemic of covid19, so students have difficulty increasing their understanding in compiling and writing programs that have an impact on their low problem-solving innovation. This study aims to design a web-based virtual laboratory to support students’ ability to solve problems and arrange them in an effective program. This research method uses development research (Developmental Research) with the research subjects are 40 students of mathematics education at the State University of Medan. This study describes the first of three stages of research, namely analyzing the curriculum and examining the characteristics of a web-based virtual laboratory that is in accordance with the characteristics of mathematics education students. The results of the study indicate that the initial web-based virtual laboratory model is feasible from the point of view of material experts and media experts.
