MonicaZone- Sounds great. Virtual Lab will be a fun thing for the students to learn to use.

Lauri - We are really excited to finally be able to offer this for our students. It has been over a year getting to this point. I am even more excited about incorporating this wiki into the process. It will make it so much easier to keep everyone informed and keep the work moving forward.

Kandi - Can you really get all this in place this quick?

Lauri - We believe that we can. We have detailed documentation from the publisher that explains how to set up each lab. We have performed the set-up for several semesters on removable hard drives so the only thing new is that we will now create the lab environment on the server in a virtual environment.
