Language laboratories virtualization at Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana-Iztapalapa

Abstract

Virtualization is the development through software of a simulated version of a technological resource such as a hardware platform, an operational system, a storage device, specific applications or other network resources. Our objective is to optimize through virtualization the teaching of languages. Specifically, it is planned to develop a sustainable strategy for enhancing connectivity among the technological devices in our multimedia classroom. The principal aspects dealt with are the project planning, the present and future academic requirements as well as the principal components of our virtualization model.
