UCF Apps is a virtual lab and desktop environment that hosts desktop software students need to complete coursework. This module should be added to any course where UCF Apps is used to access software such as SPSS, SAS, ArcGIS, STATA, and others. UCF Apps can be accessed anytime, anywhere, on any device a student chooses to use, and is a great alternative to installing software or visiting an on-campus computer lab. Add this module to jump-start the use of UCF Apps in your course by your students.
