Lunch and Learn with Support Desk Staff

Information updates on projects for the Support Desk

Vanessa (Link to slides):

• Blackboard Ultra: What I learned at BbWorld15
• HBSP Coursepack. Harvard Business Publishing Coursepack. As of July 1st, if you use any Harvard Business Publishing cases in your classes, you will create your own coursepack. We had a few information sessions, the next one will be on August 5th and also during ITSD’s Technology BootCamp on August 25th..
• Digital Measures. Faculty website for tenure and promotion
• Hardware upgrades: Classrooms, laptops and copier/printers. We have some new printers, you need to re-connect to printers following the Pharos upgrade and Canon hardware upgrade to be able to print. Call IT for more information. Those of you who have the T431s laptops, are eligible for a new shinny powerful laptop upgrade! (The upgrade takes 24hrs. Be prepared to live without your laptop for that long.)

Lisa:

• Innovation Pipeline: Emerging technologies, pilots and implementations.
• BootCamp: Schedule, registration (Qualtrics)
• Tableau. We are not at the point to have an enterprise license. We can currently request licenses for a course, for example, that lasts for the duration of that course. Students ask how they can continue to use it. Students and faculty can request on their own student or faculty version of Tableau (for free) for one calendar year based on when they requested it.
