Classroom in the Cloud: Leveraging AWS for Virtual Learning Environments

SCCC migrated their on-premises cybersecurity lab to the AWS cloud to reduce capital/operational expenses while improving the security of their campus network. This methodology is applicable to many learning scenarios (e.g., big data, machine learning) and allows institutions to pay only for the resources they use.

Outcomes: Create a virtual learning/lab environment that supports remote and local instructors and students * Decrease capital and operational expenses relative to traditional learning and lab environments * Decrease the administrative workload of in-house IT resources
