The staff members of the Teaching & Learning Collaborative have been working with our friends in IT to develop a knowledge base of frequently asked questions related to campus technologies. We gathered useful information from wikis and other campus resources, updated the content, and formatted them as sets of questions and answers. We are continually improving these FAQs by adding screenshots and video tutorials where appropriate. Next time you have a question about the various technologies on campus, take the Knowledge Base for a spin.
You can find the Knowledge Base at http://sites.miis.edu/kb. Please check it out and feel free to suggest some additional questions you think we should address in this space.
