Updates to Faculty from ITS

Published | March 23, 2020

Student Survey and Faculty Report:

A technology readiness survey was delivered to students today to help faculty understand the remote technology environment students must manage to join virtual instruction courses. (Includes time zone!)

View the survey and all questions: https://go.wlu.edu/ready
Using this centralized survey allows the student to provide the information once instead of multiple times by course AND allows you to easily report results as noted below.
Please encourage your students to complete the survey!

Survey results can be viewed at any time by running this Informer report: https://go.wlu.edu/ready-responses. (Login required)

Your Winter Term courses and enrolled students appear on the left. (When the course is expanded by clicking the ‘+’ sign.)
The report is dynamic. As students complete the survey, their readiness data will appear in the report immediately.

Adobe Creative Cloud:

Licensing is now available for students to download and use from off campus network and on a personal computer.
They have been informed via email with instructions provided at the Students Virtual Learning page on https://itsnews.wlu.edu.
If asked for instructions or help by your students, send them to the URL above or have them contact the Help Desk at 540/458-4357 or help@wlu.edu.

Zoom Licensing Request from ITS:

All faculty are licensed for Zoom.
If you do not plan to use Zoom, please contact Julie Knudson (jmknudson@wlu.edu) as soon as possible.
ITS is managing need across all campus gropus and would like to re-distribute unused licenses.
