The system provides an advantage over traditional PCs, where users utilize a physical&nbsp;device&nbsp;from an&nbsp;on-premises&nbsp;location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the courses that will integrate VDI is CTA 326, Integrating Excel into Business Problem Solving. VDI will enable students in the course to access MS Excel virtually and ensure that all students and instructors are using the same version of MS Excel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&nbsp;Peter Lutus<\/strong>, chief information officer at WilmU, is leading the initiative, in collaboration with <strong>Dr. Anthony Carcillo<\/strong>, dean, College of Technology, <strong>Dr. James Fraley<\/strong>, director of Cybersecurity Education, and <strong>Tasha Jackson<\/strong>, chair of the Applied Technology and Information Systems Management programs.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The College of Technology will collaborate with Wilmington University\u2019s IT professionals to set up Virtual Desktop Integration (VDI) for courses in which students, faculty, and&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":5030,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[99,475,476,477,14],"class_list":["post-5040","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-academic-news","tag-college-of-technology","tag-microsoft-excel","tag-vdi","tag-virtual-desktop-integration","tag-wilmington-university"],"acf":[],"taxonomy_info":{"category":[{"value":2,"label":"ACADEMIC NEWS"}],"post_tag":[{"value":99,"label":"College of Technology"},{"value":475,"label":"Microsoft Excel"},{"value":476,"label":"VDI"},{"value":477,"label":"Virtual Desktop Integration"},{"value":14,"label":"Wilmington University"}]},"featured_image_src_large":["https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/AcademicDigest_Image_Tech_08-23-480x480.jpg",480,480,true],"author_info":{"display_name":"Mckayla Imperatrice","author_link":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/author\/mckayla\/"},"comment_info":0,"category_info":[{"term_id":2,"name":"ACADEMIC NEWS","slug":"academic-news","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":559,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":460,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":2,"category_count":460,"category_description":"","cat_name":"ACADEMIC NEWS","category_nicename":"academic-news","category_parent":0}],"tag_info":[{"term_id":99,"name":"College of Technology","slug":"college-of-technology","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":656,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":66,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":475,"name":"Microsoft Excel","slug":"microsoft-excel","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1032,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":1,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":476,"name":"VDI","slug":"vdi","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1033,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":1,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":477,"name":"Virtual Desktop Integration","slug":"virtual-desktop-integration","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1034,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":1,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":14,"name":"Wilmington University","slug":"wilmington-university","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":571,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":357,"filter":"raw"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5040","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5040"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5040\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14927,"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5040\/revisions\/14927"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5030"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5040"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5040"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5040"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
