LHU is working on virtualizing lab machines across both campuses. Why is LHU moving in this direction and how does this benefit the students? LHU labs are spread out across the main and Clearfield campuses. Over time, lab machines in specific areas and courses primarily taught in each lab requires course specific software to better increase the learning experience for students. Labs that are not virtualized require students to go to the lab to gain access to any specialized software; while virtualized labs allow students to gain access to the software from other labs, as well as, personal machines. This provides greater flexibility for students who want to work in group settings outside the lab environment, within resident hall rooms, and even off campus without the limitations of labs being closed due to campus hours and lab usages.
