IS Updates

IS continues to make progress on the various ERP systems in collaboration with our user offices.  Student bills are now viewable and payable online through Self Service, and we completed spring registrations and fall grade submissions online.  We are currently putting the final touches on the campus portal and hope to roll it out in the next couple of weeks.  Additionally, we are working with HR to make paychecks available online, and with Purchasing for electronic requisitioning.

In January we worked with our student newspaper, The Transcript, to publish editions online using Wordpress.  Soon we'll add the news feeds to the OWU Mobile app as well.  http://blog.owu.edu/transcript/

Finally, we continue to work with faculty on ways to incorporate technologies into the classroom.  We're developing some strategies around Apple TV devices in the classroom as well as ways to utilize our iTunes U environment.
