It has been a busy summer in our classrooms - we have successfully converted 34 classrooms to be hyflex! Our classroom technology refresh project has also involved installing annotating monitors, second monitors, bring-your-own-device capabilities, document cameras, and easy-to-use control units to manage the technology.
We are inviting all faculty who haven't yet seen the upgraded classrooms to join us Tuesday, August 22 at 11:30am in UHB 1007 for a tour!
ITS is offering a new service to campus that allows employees to make/receive phone calls to their office number on their cell phone or laptop/desktop.
This service will replace IP Communicator, which has been used as a 'soft phone'. IP Communicator will be retired as of September 1 for legal compliance reasons. Ray Baum's Act requires that location information be included with a 911 call and IP Communicator does not provide that information. Support for IP Communicator ended as of September 30, 2022.
Hardware Recommendations
It is recommended that hardware meet at least the minimum standards summarized in the table below. Students should also check with their school or department to determine if there are additional requirements for their course of study.
ITS is excited to announce that we are in the implementation portion of our classroom technology refresh project - converting 34 classrooms to be hyflex and installing annotating monitors, bring-your-own-device capabilities, and easy-to-use control units to manage the technology.
