MyApps Virtual Desktop
MyApps is a virtual computer that allows students to interact with software, similar to being on campus and using a computer in a classroom.
The MyApps Virtual Desktop (VDI) allows students to use specific software required for their courses, just like they would on a computer lab on campus.
Microsoft OneDrive is integrated into the MyApps Virtual Desktop (VDI), allowing you to save and access your documents securely.
