vLab Virtual Labs
Real Experience in a Virtual Environment
There’s no substitute for real experience. Virtual labs enable users to go beyond a static demonstration or simulation, to experiment and make mistakes working with live equipment. In a virtual lab, learners master their hardware and software skills in a real, remote environment.
vLabs provide an environment that can mirror almost any hardware or software configuration – even custom environments or proprietary application modules – to meet your specific sales training, classroom education, and IT certification requirements. Our e-Learning modules support all major Cisco®, Microsoft®, CompTIA®, and Linux® certifications.
Element K vLabs enhance learners' skills using risk-free networking hardware and software. No need to put your own infrastructure at risk when training your staff. If they get stuck, they can restore systems without the time-consuming and dangerous rework necessary on actual systems.
Learn how to put vLab technology to work for you with these tutorials:
The ability to support geographically dispersed students enables significant cost savings associated with travel and productivity. What's more, you don't need to purchase hardware and allocate space to support your e-Learning – nor employ resources to maintain your equipment.
- Ability to eliminate technical overhead
- Learners can access labs to train when it fits their schedule
- Cost effective, fast turnarounds on technology upgrades and introductions
- Increased responsiveness to customer needs
Multiple-choice questions often cannot sufficiently assess student learning with complex technologies. Virtual labs offer a highly advanced assessment engine that can automatically collect the state of the various Cisco devices in the lab and send them to an instructor for grading. For Client-Server labs, a lab report with device screenshots can be sent to an instructor for grading.
