Think of this as a “laptop in the cloud.” Propeller’s Virtual Desktop is a high-powered, fully managed workspace that can handle resource-intensive applications on any device.
The Virtual Desktop gives students an environment for completing assignments and lab work outside of the classroom. Students can access their desktop through most browsers on any device, saving the costs of software and hardware upgrades.
The main difference is whether the user gets the same virtual machine every time they log in to the environment.
A persistent machine can be assigned to a student, faculty or staff for any duration you specify at your school — a semester, program or ongoing.
With non-persistent machines, users get a new virtual machine every time. This ensures that every student and every log-in provides the same end user experience. Students can still save their work using your school’s cloud storage solution, such as Google Drive or OneDrive.
Learning Lab is a persistent environment created to run labs and simulations exactly as your faculty envisions. Since each student has an individual lab, they gain hands-on experience without straining campus faculty or IT departments — if something goes wrong, the student can just restart and everything resets.
Learning Labs are secure, isolated, and scalable, making them great for:

During this time, the Propeller team works with you to gather the requirements, build, test, and put your new environment into production. At the end of the Jump Start, your school’s team will have the knowledge, skills and confidence to take over and continue managing your virtual environment.
What if your students and faculty could easily run today’s high-powered apps on any device, at any time? That’s the vision we made a reality at Propeller.

With Virtual Desktop, students can access a full range of specialized software and resource-intensive applications – opening a would of new possibilities. We’ve made it painless with single sign-on, using your existing portals or Learning Management System.
There’s no software to install, so there’s less need for tech support and more time for teaching and learning.
