Students and Faculty can now access campus software Remotely

Access to campus computer labs and software is now available to students studying Remotely.  A new service of the same name has been implemented over the summer in response to restrictions presented by COVID-19.  

To accommodate social distancing requirements, every other seat in campus classrooms and computer labs has been left vacant - reducing classroom capacity by at least half.  In computer labs with fixed seating, this meant that every other computer could not be used and would sit idle.  Seeing an opportunity, ITS worked to implement a solution that could use the computing power of the unused workstations to provide students studying remotely access to the same experience as those students sitting in the room.

To access campus computer labs Remotely, locate the following icon in Quicklinks or search for "Remotely":

The main page for Remotely contains a list of rooms available for remote access as well as instructions for accessing these resources.  All you need is a web browser!

Flexible Learning Classroom Demo Video

If you were unable to attend the Flexible Classroom Learning Demo this summer then please check out this ITS created video reviewing the use of the new technology installed in the classrooms.

This video gives you a description of the technology that has been added to the classrooms as well as a brief demonstration of how to use them. Please note: as of 8/24 this video needs some minor editing final touches but can still be used as a resource to help prepare for the return of the classes. 

ITS encourages you to watch the video to familiarize yourself with the technology prior to the start of classes. 

ITS is still offering training for the week of 8/24 on Wednesday and Thursday and you can sign up here.
