Week's End Report - March 25th

Tip of the Week!

Ivy Tech Lafayette has now rolled out Xerox copiers on campus!  As a reminder when using a RFID sticker, you will need to register it the first time you use it. This will tie your RFID sticker to your Campus Connect account. When you scan RFID sticker over the card reader on a Xerox device for the first time, it will prompt you to provide your Campus Connect username and password. When you supply your username, be sure to NOT include the @ivytech.edu. Once you supply your username and password, the device will pair your credentials to the RFID sticker. Any future use of any Xerox device in any Ivy Tech building will now accept your RFID sticker in place of manually typing your credentials. If you forget your ID card/sticker on any given day, you may always use the backup method of manually logging in.

For faculty who would like an RFID and are only on campus during the evening hours please contact Valerie McCoy or Carrie Borders in the Copy Center in Ivy Hall 1186.  They can send the RFID through department mail.

LMS Tour 2016

This past Thursday the Center for Instructional Design (C4IT) visited the Lafayette Campus for their LMS Tour 2016.  During this time the C4IT team shared a presentation with faculty and staff on some of the LMS platforms available on the market.  After the presentation C4IT received feedback and responses from those in attendance on what they would like to see in an LMS.  C4IT will be sharing a link to the PowerPoint presentation for those who could not be in attendance.  

If you could not make the event C4IT would still like your input.  Below is a link to the Learning Management System Faculty Survey:
