Covid-19 accelerated trends already contributing to computer lab transformation. Traditional computer labs occupy premium spaces that many universities would like to re-purpose. Online courses, BYOD, remote and hyflex learning, as well as active learning all require modern, flexible computer labs. Institutions that adapt thrive. Learn from three forward-thinking CIOs at Emory RSPH, Fresno State, and Illinois Institute of Technology. Hear about the drivers that led them to transform their computer labs, the lessons learned and the future visions for virtual computer labs—leveraging both cloud and hybrid-cloud architectures. Understand how students, faculty, and staff benefit—and how a virtual computer lab contributes to initiatives like cost reduction, zero trust, and equity and inclusion.
