 | Virtual Lab | | One of the main impediments to establishing
an IA program is the requirement of a laboratory facility that will
reinforce concepts taught in class with hands-on experiences. This is due to
the fact that an IA lab is difficult to build and maintain, as it needs to
be dedicated and isolated and cannot be part of a general-purpose campus
laboratory. Many schools cannot afford a separate laboratory just for an IS
course. For this project, we are working on the design of a virtual
laboratory that will allow multiple institutions to share one physical
laboratory. This design was done as part of an NSF capacity building project
to establish a centralized laboratory facility at Poly that can be used by
other schools in the tri-state area surrounding New York. By virtual
laboratory, we mean a laboratory that can be accessed via the Internet
through a browser interface. In addition to being remotely accessible, the
virtual laboratory is also remotely configurable, thereby allowing each
individual member of the consortium to independently provision the required
hosts and network components and configure them as needed for the specific
hands-on assignment being performed by their students.
