1. Cell Phone Discounts:
Information Services is pleased to announce that it has reached
agreements with AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon to offer potential discounts
to the campus community. Discounts may be up to 18% off eligible
plans and up to 25% off select accessories. Please see
https://admin.owu.edu/
(login required) for complete information.
2. OWU Wiki Sign-In:
You can now sign in to OWU Wikis (http://www.wikis.owu.edu/) using
your OWU BishopApps username and password. Simply choose another
sign-in method at the bottom of the sign-in screen, and select 'OWU
BishopApps'. For those who use wikis, this is one less password they
now have to remember.
3. Blackboard Mobile Learn:
The Blackboard Mobile Learn app for mobile devices (iOS, Android,
Blackberry, and Palm) puts all the online resources of Blackboard at
your fingertips. This mobile app is now available to OWU since we've
upgraded our Blackboard system to version 9. The app is free to
download and use over WIFI. Sprint customers may also use the app
over 3G and 4G cellular networks. Visit
http://www.blackboard.com/
for an interactive demo and more information.
4. Request for Faculty for Blogs Information:
Do you use a blog in your teaching or academic work? Information
Services, in cooperation with Communications & Marketing, is compiling
a list of OWU blogs to highlight at http://follow.owu.edu/ and in
Information Services Success Stories. Now that Blogger is part of
BishopApps, the ability to blog is easily available to faculty,
students, and administrative staff. For assistance setting up a new
blog or transferring an existing blog to BishopApps, please contact
the Help Desk at helpdesk@owu.edu or x3120.
5. Changes in Printer Support:
The university has contracted with Modern Office Methods (MOM) to
service campus owned laser printers. In an effort to identify these
laser printers each printer will receive a MOM sticker. If your
department has a laser printer that does not have a MOM sticker,
contact Jill Kerins in Print Services at jakerins@owu.edu. Include
the printer location, make and model number.
Toner will now be replaced by the printer user. When your toner runs
low you should send an email to Print Services at graphics@owu.edu
providing the MOM ID number and account to be charged. Print Services
will deliver the toner to your location. If you need help replacing
the toner email helpdesk@owu.edu or call the Help Desk at x3120 and we
will send a technician.
6. Atomic Learning:
Don't forget that all OWU students, faculty, and staff have online
access to Atomic Learning, a library of short video tutorials on over
130 different common computer systems and software. Here you can
learn how to build a Blackboard course, or how to use Google Docs
version history feature, or how to navigate an iPad or a SMART Board.
Simply log into your J/CX Web account and select the Atomic Learning
link on the left.
