Virtual Computer Lab Machine --
Your class will have a virtual computer lab (VCL) machine setup for our class. See http://www20.csueastbay.edu/its/cls/virtual-labs/vcl-faqs.html for details and a quick start guide.
Concept
- anywhere you have internet and web access you can log itno the VCL and it will bring up a "virtual computer/machine" that has some of the software we are using
- Benefit - you can use it anywhere from any computer that has internet access (that has connection software see VLC's FAQ)
- Negative - can be a slower and YOUR MUST make sure YOU STORE ON your local machine your files (they will disappear otherwise after the session). Also, if the licenes are limited as in Adobe to X licenses and you are the X+1th person you will have to wait until someone is off. However, it is time limited up to 4 hours in 1 hour renewal intervals (allowing only 20 minutes idle time --and will log you off).
- RECOMMENDATIONS
- save work frequently
- save work on YOUR local machine drives
- AND save work ALSO to a USB stick or upload or email work to yourself
