Hypervisor virtual machines have been heavily used in IT education for last decade, butsharing the large resources with the host machine becomes a major limitation of suchtechnology. Recently, emergence of container-based virtual machines provides a lightweightvirtual environment over hypervisor-based machines. This emerging technology has not beenexplored well and adopted in IT education.

Importance of Attention for LearningOne possible explanation for the difference in learning between structured-use and unstructured-use computer-infused classrooms is that structured-use encourages student attentiveness.Distraction and inattentiveness are significant concerns for educators as attention is afundamental requirement for learning.
