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
