 RCloud is a virtual lab environment that can be accessed by students and faculty from any device both on and off campus. Each Windows desktop is configured with all the same software that would be installed in a physical lab environment. This will allow students to work on assignments and projects any time of the day as if the applications were running right on their own machines. Some of the top software installed on all of our desktops as well as the RCloud include Microsoft Office, Maple, Mathematica, SPSS, SolidWorks, Adobe Creative Cloud, and the Autodesk Suite. All students regardless of the program will have access to an RCloud desktop. Application availability will vary depending on the classes that you're registered to take. The RCloud can be used anywhere there is a reliable internet connection. Whenever it is possible, we recommend that students use a network cable when connecting to the RCloud. One campus access will be best when used in a classroom building or dorm room. The RCloud works on Android phones and tablets, Apple iPhones and iPads, Windows desktops and laptops, Apple desktops and laptops, and Chromebooks. We recommend using Google Chrome as the web browser of choice when logging into MyRCloud.RW.edu. We have had the most success with using this from Apple and Windows machines. RCloud desktop sessions stay logged in for up to an hour after a student has disconnected. This will allow the student to reconnect to the same desktop within that hour if something happens to their machine or other computer while connected to the RCloud. A standard log off or shutdown will immediately close the session. Files should be backed up either locally to a personal computer, a USB device, or to their Google Drive account.
