IT Partners Webinar Series

About the IT Partners Webinar Series

As you may have noticed, the annual IT Partners Conference, like many other in-person events was indefinitely postponed. Since many of us will be working remotely for the foreseeable future, the IT Partners Planning Team has shifted gears and is excited to announce that we'll be hosting a Zoom webinar series on various IT-related topics throughout the rest of the calendar year and beyond.

What'll we cover in these webinars?

Anything. Seriously. (Well, as long as it's IT-related.)

  • Most webinars will be 30-45 minutes (depending on the content and speaker availability), including time for questions.
  • If you're interested in presenting, let us know what you want to present on, how long you'll need, and we'll take care of all the logistics--scheduling, getting the word out, all of that fun stuff.
  • If you have any ideas on topics or speakers, let us know, and we'll do the leg work.

Have ideas? Want to present at a webinar?

See http://calendar.mit.edu/event/itpartners_webinars for the next webinar

IT Partners Zoom-bruary 2023 (Now in March!)Zoom. We all use it. Some of us use it well. Some of us, well, not so much.

We'll cover some of them in this webinar, hitting on things like sharing multiple screens and smart recordings, as well as Zoom Apps, Zoom Phones, and Zoom Rooms, oh my!

We'll also have some networking time, and for those of you who join in person, some lunch.

We hope you can Zoom in and Zoom-bruary with us!

IT Partners 2022 Virtual Conference

IT Partners, Open Learning, and Sloan present Canvas!

Panel

IT Partners, Open Learning, and Sloan present Canvas!

As the fall term comes to a close, DLC staff are starting to prepare for the spring term. If you support academic staff, you’re likely to hear the word “Canvas” lobbed about. You might be wondering: What is Canvas? Why are people using it? How can I support staff in my DLC in their use of Canvas?

Join us to learn more about what the Canvas Learning Management System (LMS) offers and how it is used in DLCs.

  • Meredith Davies from Open Learning will provide a tour of Canvas, highlight areas where IT providers might get or have questions, and point us to resources to support the use of Canvas across campus.
  • Shallon Silvestrone, Anna Wright, and Sam McGurgan will share how Sloan is using Canvas. They’ll also give us a preview and timeline around the upcoming move from Canvas’s native quizzing tool (“Classic Quizzes”) to the “New Quizzes” tool.

Before you migrate your DLC to Windows 11:

  1. What apps (outside of the standard MIT apps) are you using in your DLC, e.g., SolidWorks? Make sure you test them before rolling out Windows 11 out. There's a lot of backwards compatibility, but still test.

  2. Can your computer even run Windows 11? Download the PC Health Check app to find out.
