Virtual Computing Laboratories: A Case Study with Comparisons to Physical Computing Laboratories
نویسندگان
چکیده
Current technology enables schools to provide remote or virtual computing labs. Virtual computing labs can be implemented in multiple ways ranging from remote access to banks of dedicated workstations to sophisticated access to large-scale servers hosting virtualized workstations. This paper reports on the implementation of a specific lab using remote access to dedicated workstations and supporting students enrolled in degree programs in management. Such a lab can be implemented at relatively low cost by reallocating resources dedicated to existing physical labs.
