IT Tech Tip of the Week: Technology News and Reminders

From the IT Group: The IT Group has been busy this summer with technology changes:

• We have installed permanent PCs in 22 of the SmartCarts in our media-enhanced classrooms. An updated list of MECs with permanent PCs can be found at: http://www.keene.edu/it/insttech/mediaenhanced.cfm.
• More than 150 KSC faculty and staff members have upgraded to Office 2007. If you are interested in upgrading, please fill out this web form.
• The wireless network now includes the entire first floor of the Science Center. We have added a secure wireless connection and modified our log-in options. The new log-in options are: KSC_Student, KSC_Guest, and KSC_Secure. All faculty and staff will use the KSC_Secure log-in option, which will provide the most security to KSC users.

To be sure you have the media equipment you need and access to the tools you use:

• Log in to WebAdvisor now and request a password reset, if necessary, so you can access your class roster.
• If you need to request media equipment this semester, visit our website and reserve your equipment early; the HelpDesk has a limited supply of circulation equipment.
• There are media equipment closets throughout the campus where you can reserve equipment, pick up equipment when you need it, and return it when you are done. You can view the list of closets and the equipment available in: Outlook Public Folders –> Media Equipment Closet Schedules.

Information on the media-enhanced classrooms, Office 2007, the wireless network, media equipment requests, and more can be found on the HelpDesk website. If you have questions about any technology issue, please contact the HelpDesk at 8-2532 or stop by our office on the second floor of the Elliot Center.
