Spring Break Online Security Tune-up
Spring Break is right around the corner! It’s a good time to review the security of your online life. Go to https://security.psu.edu/education-training/ to read more about passwords, data backups, firewalls, ransomware, and more. There are also several LinkedIn Learning resources available. Some faculty assign these to students for extra credit. Remind your students, family, and friends to do this checkup too!
Microsoft Azure Training
Interested in learning more about Microsoft Azure? Penn State’s IT Learning & Development office is now offering workshops across March and in the future. For more information view the ISTLD calendar and registration page.
Production Changes – Multimedia Improvements
With Aimee Brown-Shadduck joining our team, we are looking to further enhance the multimedia in our course templates. If you have improvement suggestions for graphics or videos in IST WC course templates, please email istlearningdesign@psu.edu.
Request World Campus Course Templates
If you are teaching a Resident Instruction (RI) version of a College of IST course, you can request a copy of the World Campus (WC) course template for that course. Many of the courses that run in residence have an online WC version, and while the format is different from the RI section, you may find useful elements that you can utilize in your course.
