Goals•To discuss the concerns with software
delivery•To try the application server•To see how demographics can be used to
better understand student data
4
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
5
Potential Solutions•Students load ‘lite’ version of the software•Students load trial/expiring copies of the
software•Remote Desktop•Remote Application Server
6
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
7
Remote Application Server – JCTC Solution•Terminal Server running on Server 2008 as a
Web application.

Solution
9
Clipboard available as are local drives
10
Security and License•Students must login into the server•Students must login into the software•Can assign specific students to specific
software•Software hits license manager• Inside the college firewall
11
Application - ArcMap
12
Base Maps and Data•Using an ArcGis Server base map•Using an ArcIMS Server vector base map•Using compressed data•Using data from mass storage array
