CTL Happenings - Message #336

Email and online scams (phishing attacks) are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Two-step login (Duo), also known as two-factor authentication, adds a second layer of security when you log into secure systems. It combines an additional verification with your username and passphrase, and helps prevent anyone but you from logging in. Beginning February 2, 2017, CAS logins for all IU faculty, staff, student employees, retirees, and affiliates will require Two-Step Login (Duo).

At Indiana University, Two-step login (Duo) adds this second layer of security for some university systems, and also for your personal information and financial data (Bursar direct deposit, for example).  The Duo Mobile app for smartphones or tablets is recommended, but if you don't have such a device, regular cell phones and landlines are also supported. For step-by-step instructions for the various ways to begin, see Getting started with Two-step login (Duo) at IU.

The UITS Support Center will have a support table stationed in the Center for Teaching and Learning located on the first floor of University Library in UL1125 on Wednesday, February 1, 2017 from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.  Come get help with your Duo setup, adding a second device to your profile, and getting answers to any other questions you have about Duo authentication.

Zoom is a new video conferencing and web collaboration software available to all faculty, students, and staff at Indiana University. Zoom makes it easy to meet with colleagues or students and share your screen, create breakout rooms, and/or record the meeting.

In this workshop, participants will learn about the new online conference tool at Indiana University called Zoom.  Zoom is a conference tool that focuses on collaboration between users through audio/video communication, file sharing, and screen sharing. IU faculty, staff, and students are all eligible to create their own Zoom meeting room to host meetings. In this workshop, we will learn how users access their account, schedule and manage meetings, as well as how to use Zoom as an effective conferencing tool.

As IUPUI begins the process of reviewing general education courses over the coming academic year, faculty who teach these courses will want to ensure that their course learning outcomes are properly aligned with the appropriate IUPUI Principles of Undergraduate Learning (PULs) and statewide learning outcomes. This brown bag workshop will review the process of aligning course student learning outcomes, PULs, IUPUI General Education Competency Domains, statewide competency domains and learning outcomes, and assessments of student learning and will provide faculty attendees with tools and strategies for doing so. In addition, the workshop will explore the differences between different levels and types of learning outcomes and will provide attendees with guidelines for developing and improving their own learning outcomes.

Note:  Aligning Course Learning Outcomes will be offered again on Tuesday, February 21, 2017, 12:00 p.m. - 1:30 p.m.  Click here for more information and to register.
