The team invested in virtual desktop
infrastructure and IGEL thin client technology.
Rather than lock down classrooms with IT
which limits how the building is used, this
solution means students can log-in from
anywhere and access their own personalised
desktops and applications specific to their
courses.
It also means that IT can be introduced to
areas which didn’t have computers, such as
motor vehicle workshops, and beauty salons
– enabling students to study where, when
and how they like.

With investment from the Ayrshire College
Foundation, this technology is now going to
be rolled out to all the other campuses over
the next three years.
