Abstract

Virtualization provides a cost-effective solution for delivering hands-on education remotely. Various virtualization software packages are currently available. In this paper, we present our experiences with selecting and using virtualization technology for information and computer technology courses. VMware and VirtualBox are both viable choices with their advantages and disadvantages.
