Nicholas students pilot ‘virtual computing lab’

By Cara Bonnett

Durham, NC -- Starting this fall, a new “virtual computing lab” (VCL) pilot will allow students in the Nicholas School of the Environment to reserve a computer with specialized software and access it remotely over the Internet.

The VCL Team is pleased to announce the launch of our new website design based on the Drupal open source content management platform.  The underlying VCL reservation system remains unchanged.  Several improvements should make it easier for VCL users, faculty, and administrators to utilize VCL and access the information they need.  Some of the improvements include:

The standard email notifications for VCL reservations are now optional and can be disabled or enabled per individual user. Please note this does not effect image creation process for image administrators.

To disable (or enable) email notifications for your user profile.

Select User Preferences

Under General Preferences make the selection for the desired option.

By default, users email notifications will be enabled.
