The user experience. Once you've logged into your virtual desktop
environment, the experience will be the same regardless of whether
you're using a browser, Android, or iOS mobile device.
The labs on campus will connect to the appropriate workspace
automatically based on location. The virtual desktop environment
contains workspaces. Each workspace includes a virtual Windows desktop
with applications that are designed to meet the requirements of a
specific group of students.
The general workspace is designed for all students with basic
applications and a full Windows desktop. To launch the virtual Windows
desktop experience:
- Click the Connect button found in each workspace group.
- Click Connect in the Session Settings window.
- Enter your password and click Sign in.
Launching a workspace desktop opens a full Windows 11 desktop
experience that contains additional applications not listed in the
workspaces. The Windows 11 desktop automatically connects to your
student OneDrive account, so you can save your work and access it
again the next time you log into your remote desktop. You can also
access your work directly from the OneDrive application using a
laptop, desktop computer, or mobile device.
With a full remote Windows desktop experience, you can quickly and
easily use a variety of remote applications. Sync your OneDrive
account and print your work while you are in the lab. When you finish
working in your virtual desktop, make sure you sign out of the virtual
desktop environment so no one else can access your workspace and saved
files.
