You will be given access to an Amazon WorkSpaces virtual desktop environment for this course. Your Amazon WorkSpaces access will be given through an email sent to your Launch student Gmail account (ID#@sps.org). This virtual desktop is essentially a Windows-based virtual computer that we have preloaded with the necessary files and software you need for your course.
