Advancing Student Success through Digital Equity with Virtual Computer Labs

Thursday, October 27 | 1:00PM–1:45PM MT | Meeting Room 503-504
Session Type: Industry Led
Delivery Format: Presentation/Panel Session

Technology can be a powerful agent for change. Facilitating broader access to higher education through virtual computer labs using devices that students already have enables the learning experience to be equalized and the digital divide to be diminished. As the world emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic, virtual computer labs will remain a popular learning tool for faculty and students due to the flexibility and collaboration they provide. Institutions that quickly adjust to new expectations and use all available digital resources to improve the student journey will grow and thrive. During this interactive session, see how institutions are using virtual computer labs not only to support online learning but to continue expanding digital equity and availability at scale for the benefit of students, faculty, staff, and the overall institutional community. A panel of experts will discuss use cases, explore their decision process, and share experiences of leveraging both cloud and hybrid-cloud architectures.
