What is MyDesktop? MyDesktop is a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) that allows you to connect to a virtual computer that has college software installed. The benefit of MyDesktop is that you always have access to the software you need for your classes without installing it. The URL to connect to MyDesktop is https://mydesktop.algonquincollege.com. The simplest method is to connect to MyDesktop using your web browser How do I connect to MyDesktop using my web browser? Alternately, a more fully functional method is to install the VMware Horizon View Client on your computer - MyDesktop doesn't work with my browser. What are my alternatives?. MyDesktop Virtual Labs (VDI) can be accessed from different devices and different Operation Systems (Windows, MAC, Android, ios) from the college network or from home. Note: You need a secure connection to use MyDesktop from off campus. A VPN AnyConnect Client connection will work with both HTML and VMware Horizon View Client option ( How do I connect to VPN?), where Secure Portal will work only with HTML ( How do I connect to Secure Portal?). How do I use MyDesktop once I am logged in? After you log in you to MyDesktop you will see a screen with different options (virtual labs) each contain different applications and are useful for different areas of study. For example Tech Writer students will use Techwriter or Business and Office and Legal Students will use Office and Legal Virtual Lab. Once you select Virtual Lab, it is as if you are using your normal computer Virtual Labs and Software Available on MyDesktop The virtual labs and software are listed by which image to which they belong. You should use the MyDesktop image that best matches your program of study as it will have the software needed for your classes or needs. All images contain the Standard Applications software unless otherwise noted. Note: Any year other than 2015 indicated the version of software on the image.
