Problem
How do you deliver high end software to students?
Students in distance learning courses
Ability for students to learn off campus, i.e. homework assignments

Potential Solutions
Students load ‘lite’ version of the software
Students load trial/expiring copies of the software
Remote Desktop
Remote Application Server

Solution
Develop a web based terminal server at a low cost – works only with IE
JCTC Professional IT staff
No software to install
Full functional version of software (ArcGIS 9.3.1, Adobe Suite, etc.)
Patch single copy as updates needed
Other software the students might need to complete the course
Useful for all students not just virtual learners
