Cloud Lab Classroom starts with cloud images that have been pre-configured by instructors or other training facilitators to meet specific learning objectives. The solution can manage any number of cloud images and allows each to be identified with user friendly names and descriptions. Images can be tailored for specific topics, products, and technology stacks and reused for across multiple classes. By ensuring that students start with known and approved learning environments, Cloud Lab Classroom eliminates disruptions caused by unsupported versions and improperly configured applications. Cloud Lab Classroom also simplifies license administration when training on third party software.

Functional details

Cloud Lab Classroom's web based console allows the instructor to automatically start and assign instances to each student prior to each class. Students log into their personal learning environment through a link and secure key that is automatically emailed to them as they are registered. Each environment is a complete virtual machine with all the required software and configurations defined by the instructor. As students work through assignments and exercises, instructors can monitor their progress through thumbnail images displayed on the Cloud Lab Classroom dashboard. Instructors can drill down on selected images to assist with problems and questions.
