Windows Virtual Desktop provides a method for students, faculty, and staff to access on-campus resources, including applications and mapped network drives for faculty/staff from any device.
There are two basic methods for connecting to the service. Via a dedicated app designed for the device's platform (iOS, Windows, MacOS, android), or a browser based portal. The dedicated app is the preferred access method. The dedicated app will allow academic applications to run as if they are running on the host device, while the browser based portal provides less functionality.
