[Tagalist] Universities remote access to labs on campus using - Labstats Fall 2020

[William Nguyen]

Hi All,

The Labstats Remote Access Dashboard enables students to access campus
computers from the comfort and safety of their homes. With the click of a
button, students can see which campus computers are available in
real-time and remote into those computers using their login credentials.

But returning to classes will come with plenty of new hurdles for both
faculty and students. Faculty will have to navigate new workloads as they
balance online and in-person classes.

Students will likely discover new challenges, including:

Reduced access to on-campus resources
Limited seating in computer labs
Carefully monitored room capacities
New traffic patterns
Limited library and lab hours
So what can universities do now to make the transition back to campus
smooth, safe, and successful for everyone?

Provide Flexible Remote Access Options
Even if students and faculty have personal laptops or home desktops, it’s
unlikely they will have the specialized software or processing power to run
necessary programs, and will rely on campus resources to fill in the gaps.

Students can access campus machines securely from their personal devices
with the Remote Access Dashboard, a dashboard that students can use to find
available campus computers. It also provides them with a simple,
user-friendly mechanism to remotely log into that computer without any
special training.

We created a how-to guide to access Labstats Remote Access Dashboard.
