Abstract

Teaching courses that provide hands-on instruction in information technology can be expensive and challenging. Classrooms often take the form of computer labs shared with other classes, and sometimes setup in ways that make teaching difficult. The use of virtual machines, allows considerable flexibility over the use of dedicated-use computers. Virtualization can allow students to have their own, perfectly configured. This paper presents educational use cases and examples of virtualization solutions.
