This mini-course details the implementation of UltraVNC for remote learning sessions at the University of Puerto Rico Medical Sciences Campus. It covers configuration settings, including the advantages of using ZRLE encoding and specific display modes to enhance the learning experience. The course also explains how to create scripts for quick access to each student's computer and employs tools like H.323 endpoints for effective communication. Supported by a grant from the National Institutes of Health, it emphasizes collaboration across various institutional facilities for successful online education.

Tools used H.323 endpoint UltraVNC
Why UltraVNC? • It can grab CN3D program with specific configuration. • 256 Colors • ZRLE encoding • Full Screen Mode • No Zip/Tight Compression • No Jpeg(Tight) • No Show Toolbar • Do not install the mirror driver • Desktop resolution 800x600 16bit
UltraVNC Scripts • Ctrl+Alt+F5 will make the script with the parameters • One numbered script for each student computer in both UltraVNC Client computers for fast switching. • RCM UltraVNC Client scripts in Projection Computer will always use View only mode to avoid mouse and keyboard input • One extra script in RCM Projection Computer to display teacher computer to students
