Virtual browser cloud workspace for an online hands-on learning platform

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• receiving, from a client device hosting a browser, a request for a guided project teaching usage of a network-accessible resource, the guided project including an instruction video explaining the usage of the network-accessible resource;
• providing, in response to the request, a virtual browser cloud workspace running on a containerized computation environment hosting a virtual browser and remote access software;
• providing, at the browser of the client device, an interactive learning environment that includes a virtual browser interactive window and an instructional window;
• providing the instruction video within the instructional window;
• providing, using the remote access software, bidirectional communication between the virtual browser interactive window and the virtual browser while the virtual browser is accessing the network-accessible resource, to thereby provide control of;
• and
• controlling the network-accessible resource at the virtual browser interactive window to enable completion of the guided project in conjunction with the instruction video.
