The Spring 2012 edition of IT Matters is now available. It’s got a lot of good news and progress to share, so it’s worth a read.
Items of particular interest to faculty:
- Email and calendar migrations are pretty much complete (p. 1). On the whole the transition went very smoothly, so our hats off to the email team!
- Summary of the LMS Work Group process and decision (p. 2).
- Upcoming issues in IT include Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and a new focus on risk management (p. 3).
- Classroom mediation updates for the Science Center and Brennan (p. 4).
- Royal Card upgrade to Blackboard Transact (p. 5).
- VDI (aka thin client computing) is being piloted in the Library (p. 6).
- ITDA is reworking the Math Placement System (p. 7).
The newsletter really makes it clear how many projects our IR staff members have been juggling. From a TAG perspective, we’re gratified that IR staff members have worked hard to keep us in the loop and to seek faculty feedback on the projects that affect us and our teaching. We’re looking forward to 2012-2013 as another busy but productive year!
