You can access many of our specialized software packages on campus using what are called virtual applications. The applications are stored on a Citrix server. A user from a PC, a Mac, a Chromebook, or even an iPad can use the Internet to run the application that they need. We like to compare it to how Netflix works. When you access a show or movie on Netflix, it isn’t actually on your device. It’s on a Netflix server and the content is being streamed to your device. Virtual applications work the same way. The software is not actually on your device, it is being streamed by the server. Show Currently, many faculty use specialized software for their courses. For example, Chemistry uses a program called Chemdraw. Math uses SAS, Minitab, and Maple. SPSS is used pervasively across multiple disciplines. Normally this software is only accessible from certain computer labs. But Citrix allows it to be accessible beyond the lab. Online students who are taking courses that require specialized software do not have an option of physically visiting campus to use the software. Therefore, in many cases, they end up purchasing it on their personal computer, adding to the cost of their education. To get started using our Citrix virtualized applications including SPSS, SAS, Minitab, Maple, etc., you merely need a web browser, preferably Google Chrome. Point it to https://citrixapps.oswego.edu, login with your Laker NetID and get started. For detailed instructions, please visit our “How to Use Virtual Applications with Citrix” article.
