This summer ITS has been working round the clock, like many others, to prepare the campus for the start of the Fall 2020 semester! Below are some things that ITS has accomplished during the summer of 2020:
Installations of technology used for flexible learning.
Classrooms around campus have been outfitted with an IPEVO Document Camera, Speakermic and, in some cases, a webcam. This will help to facilitate flexible learning in our classrooms on campus.
Instructions for how to uses these devices has also been placed in all classrooms
We will continue to provide training and Q&A sessions on how to use the new technology in the classrooms. Be on the lookout for an announcement from ITS via the MC Announcements and our ITS blog, itsblog.manhattan.edu.
The implementation of “Remotely”
“Remotely” is a Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) application. It allows you to remotely logon to computers in the labs on campus and access their programs remotely. This will allow for remote students to participate in computer lab classes without having to be on campus.

Computer Labs Updated For Covid Capacity
All computer labs on campus have been set up to reflect open computers as well as computers that should not be used. Computers that should not be used will display a message of “Chair to remain vacant”. The vacant stations are powering the aforementioned Remotely app.
DLS 314 computer lab received an upgrade of new monitors and computers.
HAY 100 received a brand new laser projector
Wifi Additions
Campus wide tests were conducted of the Wifi and additional wifi was installed in needed rooms
ITS would like to wish everyone a happy and healthy start of their semester!
