Instructors (Getting Started)

The North/Far North Regional Consortium (NFNRC) shared NETLAB+ system is available to any of the NFNRC participating region 1 and 2 community colleges.  Folsom Lake College (one of four Los Rios Community College District campuses) hosts the physical NETLAB+ and infrastructure hardware.

FOLSOM LAKE COLLEGE

Folsom Lake College IT Services has lead technical responsibility for the system:  installing and maintaining NETLAB+ appliances and supporting infrastructure; installing and replicating (cloning) virtual machines; creation of community leader accounts; providing technical support (second level).

PARTICIPATING COLLEGES

Community Leaders

Participating colleges should first appoint what NETLAB+ calls a ‘community leader’ for their college.  The four campuses of the Los Rios Community College District are combined in the NETLAB+ system as a single community.  Other participating colleges will need to first have a community leader.  Community leaders create instructor accounts at their participating college, mentor and provide on-site training/help to instructors, and provide first-level technical support for their campus.

Instructors wanting access to a course should first contact their college community leader.  Community leaders for each of the participating colleges are being determined and the list below will be updated.  Current community leaders are:

FRCCD\Feather River College – Nathan Tharp (ntharp@frc.edu)

LRCCD\American River College – Larry Dumais (dumaisl@arc.losrios.edu)

LRCCD\Cosumnes River College – Markus Geissler (markus.geissler@crc.losrios.edu)
