Draft:Bookmarks on the iPad

2018-01-03T20:01:46Z

BBudnick13: /* Safari on the iPad and Anything On a PC */

{{TOC_Float_Right}}

==Intended Audience==

WSU students and faculty interested in creating browser bookmarks on their iOS device or synching their bookmarks between their laptops and their iOS devices.

==Overview==

In this section, we will discuss how to create bookmarks in the Safari browser on the iPad as well as how to sync bookmarks between the laptop and the iPad.

==Creating a Bookmark in Safari on the iPad==

# Begin by navigating to the page you wish to bookmark. While on that page, click on the icon shown in the toolbar below.<br>[[File:Bookmarking1.png]]<br> <br>
# From the dropdown selection box, choose '''Bookmark'''.<br> [[File:Bookmarking2.png]]<br> <br>
# Set the text to be displayed as the name of the bookmark. By default, the name is set to the title of the page but it can be set to anything you like. (See the image below.) Do not change the URL, this is the address the bookmark points to. Changing this will cause the bookmark to point elsewhere. [[File:Bookmarking3.png]]<br> <br>

The final entry in the box shows where the bookmark will be stored in your bookmark tree. You can click on the field and select a new location for the bookmark.

==Synching Bookmarks Between the iPad and Your Laptop==

===Safari on the iPad and the Mac===

Safari is the native browser on the iPads and on the Macs. If you use Safari as your go-to browser, syncing your bookmarks between devices is quick and easy. (Before you begin, be sure you have logged into both devices with the same Apple ID.)
# Open the '''System Preferences''' on your Mac and go to the '''iCloud''' preferences. Be sure '''Safari''' is checked.
# On the iPad, open the '''Settings''' application and select '''iCloud'''. Be sure '''Safari''' is selected in the list of applications.

Done. Your bookmarks will automatically sync.

===Chrome on the iPad and the laptop===

Don't want to use Safari on the iPad? Google offers the Google Chrome browser on both the laptop and the iPad.

# Install Chrome on both the laptop and the iPad. Chrome for the laptop is available from [https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/ Google's web site].You can download Chrome for the iPad from [https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/chrome/id535886823?mt=8 the App Store].
# Open Chrome on the laptop and click the hamburger at the top right. (The three horizontal line.) Click '''Settings''' from the drop-down menu. If you are not currently logged into Chrome with your Google account, click '''Sign into Chrome''' and log into the browser. (You will need a Google account to log in. If you do not have one, you can create a free one by clicking "Create a Google Account" on the login page.)
# Open Chrome on the iPad. Click on the icon with the three vertical dots at the top right. Select '''Settings''' and log into Chrome using the same Google account as above. Your bookmarks will sync.

You can view the bookmarks in Google Chrome by clicking the same icon with the three horizontal bars and selecting '''Bookmarks'''. (See the image at right.)

[[File:iCloudControlPanel.jpeg|right|450px]]
===Safari on the iPad and Anything On a PC===

If you are using Safari on the iPad and a different browser on your PC, Apple supplies a quick way to sync your bookmarks.

# Download [https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204283 Apple's iCloud Control Panel] on your PC and install it.
# Launch the iCloud Control Panel and log into it with your Apple ID. (Be sure it is the same one you used on your iPad.)
# Select the browser you wish to sync with.

Your bookmarks will be automatically synced between browser.

==Segment Descriptions==

#'''How are you customizing your D2L courses?''' Brandy explains why she likes to customize each course home page here and it allows here to introduce herself and the class to her students.
#'''Could you talk more about widgets and the way you have customized your course home pages?''' In this segment Bandy describes how she uses [[RSS]] feeds, YouTube, and other types of custom widgets on her course home pages to drive students to relevant content that she requires them to use classes.
#'''Describe some of the outcomes your are seeing as a result of this custom home page?''' The sense of interaction among student, herself, and their connection to the wider World is an important outcome Bandy feels she gained from this enhancement of her D2L homepage. Student reflection essays also support the impact this innovation is having on the way they learn.
#'''What advice do you have for faculty considering customize their D2L course home pages?''' Brandy suggest that there should be no fear when to spend some time familiarizing yourself with these tools and trying to see what works best for you. She added that it was helpful to draw upon the TLT Services people to guide her towards tools she should try, based on her needs, and learn how to use them when she decides to adopt a specific tool.

==Good Practices==

*'''Provide students with an introduction to the course and instructor.' Brandy sets the tone of her course before the students ever walk in the door. She provide a unique look and feel to the course, video introduction to the instructor, and other resources she will be using.
*'''Set the expectation that resources will be used.''' She frequently references resources provided on the custom home page and then guides students to the relevant resources as they discuss the materials in class.
*'''Use standard widgets''' Why reinvent the wheel when there are many standard widget that may serve your student needs.
*'''Student reflection essays are used to ascertain impact of these resources.''' Brandy used the reflection essay to analyze feedback, what has been learned, and how specific resources were useful to their learning success.
==Key Outcomes==
*'''Interaction between students and between wider World.'''A key objective in Brandy's courses it to encourage interaction between students and help them begin having a conversation with a much wider audience.
*'''Students want and even expect to use these technologies.'''Feedback she receives from these resources indicate that her students want and expect to use resources that are going to connect them to her curriculum, each other, and to the larger World to prepare them not only to know the concepts from the course, but also the tools they use to apply these concepts in their communication.

{{D2L}} presents course content in a table of contents (TOC) format. Students see a tiered list of ''modules'' and ''topics'' (Figure 3). Modules are simply headings used to organize the topics. Topics can link to a variety of files and activities, including:
*Documents that the instructor has uploaded to the course (e.g., Word, PowerPoint, Excel, PDF)
*Publisher-provided material
*Movies, images, and other multimedia elements
*External websites
*Content pages that the instructor has created directly in {{D2L}} using the Editor Tool
*Other {{D2L}} activities (e.g., quizzes, dropbox folders, discussion forums) within the same course
[[File:D2L10-3_modules_topics.jpg|right|frame|Fig 3. Part of a typical Brightspace TOC]]
[[File:D2L10-3 content toc actions.jpg|right|frame|Fig 4. TOC actions menu]]
[[File:D2L10-3 content toc expand.jpg|right|frame|Fig 5. TOC expand or collapse all]]

==Table of contents actions==
Select '''Table of Contents''' from the sidebar and then select the '''down arrow''' to the right of the title Table of Contents in the content area to view the Table of Contents' action menu (Figure 4). From this menu, you can set the default completion method for all topics, download all course content, delete all of the modules in the TOC, publish the entire TOC to a learning object repository, add objects to the TOC from a learning object repository, and edit the metadata associated with the TOC.

==Building a table of contents==
Most instructors build their course TOC manually. {{D2L}} also offers tools (e.g., Course Design Accelerator, Course Builder) that help guide TOC construction. One method does not preclude the other. Once instructors have a TOC built for a course, it can [[Copying Brightspace courses|be copied]] from one semester's course to another. Note that [[Integrating publisher-provided content into Brightspace|importing content from a publisher]] often results in modules and topics being added to the TOC. Select the links below to review articles with more detailed information about using the Content Tool:
*[[Adding an overview to a D2L course]]
*[[Adding a content module to a D2L course]]
*[[Adding a content topic to a D2L course]]
*[[Moving and reordering content in a D2L course]]
*[[Editing D2L content topics]]
*[[Deleting D2L content modules and topics]]
*[[Copying D2L courses|Copying content modules and topics from other D2L courses]]
*[[Integrating publisher-provided content into D2L]]
*[[Restricting content access in D2L]]
*[[Managing content files in D2L]]
*[[Role switching in D2L|Viewing D2L content from a student's perspective]]
*Using the D2L Course Builder Tool (coming soon)
*Examples of D2L tables of contents (coming soon)

==Expanding and collapsing==
Select '''Table of Contents''' from the sidebar and then select either the Expand All or Collapse All link (Figure 5) to apply the command to the entire TOC.

==Copyright responsibilities==
Instructors are responsible for following copyright law when building {{D2L}} courses. This is particularly important when creating digital copies of copyrighted material and uploading them to {{D2L}}. For example, you might scan an image or part of a book chapter and then upload that file to {{D2L}}. Are you breaking copyright law or is it considered fair use? If you have any questions at all, don't hesitate to consult your [https://www.winona.edu/library/services/mylibrarian.asp Library Liaison] or a [mailto:tlt@winona.edu TLT staff member]. Note the following:
*If you are ever in doubt, ask for permission. Owners are happy to explain any conditions placed on their copyrighted content and would much rather talk with you before you upload a copy of their property than sue you for violating copyright.
*If you are simply linking to material that is hosted legally elsewhere, you are not making a copy of the material. Always check to see whether the material is already available online before making a copy.
*There is widespread confusion among instructors about the doctrine of [http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl102.html fair use]. It does not allow teachers to post, without permission, a digital copy of any copyrighted material online as long as it is being used for educational purposes. Posting copies to a secure online system like {{D2L}} does not absolve instructors from their responsibility to follow copyright law. There are four criteria that are applied in any fair use case:
**The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes and whether you are using the work in a way for which it was not intended.
**The nature of the copyrighted work
**The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole
**The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of, the copyrighted work
It is easier to argue fair use if the copy was made strictly for educational purposes and is being used in a way for which it was not intended, the work was not a song, poem, movie, or other creative performance, only a portion of the work was copied and it wasn't the "heart" of the work, and your actions no way affected the value of the original work. Again, if you are questioning whether to make a copy, get help.
Please consult the [http://www.mnscu.edu/board/policy/327.html Minnesota State Board policy on copyright] for more information.

==Disabled features and functions==
The following Content Tool functions are currently disabled in the WSU instance of D2L. Want them enabled? [mailto:tlt@winona.edu Contact TLT].
*'''Content Feedback:''' D2L allows students to rate each content topic in a course using a five-point "star" scale. They can also attach open-ended comments to their ratings. The feedback can be either anonymous or identifiable. Instructors can review this feedback via a report.

===<i class="fa fa-check-square-o"></i> Visit your classroom===
Even if you have taught in the room before, please visit your classrooms and test the devices and media you plan to use this semester. Plug your laptop into the data projector, try the document camera, test the audio, play a YouTube movie, and so on. If you are teaching via ITV, we would be happy to set up a test connection for you to use for practice (e.g., switch cameras, switch between audience cameras and your laptop). Note that we no longer support the use of overhead projectors or VHS tape players in classrooms. While these tools may still be found in some classrooms, we are no longer maintaining them centrally.
*'''Wireless projection.''' Many of our classrooms have projectors that afford the wireless display of laptops and tablets. If you are interested in using this functionality, please contact TLT.
*'''Smart boards and podiums.''' If you teach in [[SMART classroom|a room with a SMART Board or SMART Podium]], you will receive an email from TLT regarding the required Smart Notebook software and training. If you have any questions about SMART tools, please contact TLT.

===<i class="fa fa-check-square-o"></i> Schedule custom student support===
If you are asking your students to use technology this semester to complete a class activity (e.g., class project, group work), TLT will work with you to [[Custom student support|develop custom, course-specific student support]]. This could involve TLT-led workshops, online learning material, or some combination of live and online support. Contact TLT ([mailto:tlt@winona.edu tlt@winona.edu]) to discuss your student custom support needs.

===<i class="fa fa-check-square-o"></i> Select lynda.com courses===
You and all of your students have access to the entire online course library at [http://www.lynda.com lynda.com]. Lynda courses cover basic through advanced technology, graphic design, photography, and other topics. Consider using lynda.com content, either an entire course or selected instructional videos, as a required or optional learning activity for your students. [[Lynda|Learn more about lynda and create an account]]. Contact TLT ([mailto:tlt@winona.edu tlt@winona.edu]) to discuss how to set your class up as a group in lynda.com so that you can track your students' progress.

===<i class="fa fa-check-square-o"></i> Request class storage===
Course-specific, campus network storage space can be requested for the duration of a semester. This is one way to support the sharing of course-related files. A class store must be requested from ITS. [[Class_Store|More information...]]

===<i class="fa fa-check-square-o"></i> Identify your video production needs===
If you are interested in creating videos to support your courses, WSU offers several solutions for both recording classroom activities live and recording videos in a more controlled, studio environment. Instructors can use such tools as [[MediaSpace|Kaltura MediaSpace]], Techsmith Camtasia, [[iMovie]], and [[Adobe Premiere]] to capture and produce video content. Videos can be published to a variety of locations for online access. TLT can assist you with everything from recording your lectures and capturing student presentations and performances for assessment purposes to giving you tips on recording lecture material in the comfort of our studio spaces or your office. Please contact TLT ([mailto:tlt@winona.edu tlt@winona.edu]) if you have any questions or need any help.

*'''Wireless projection.''' Many of our classrooms have projectors that afford the wireless display of laptops and tablets. If you are interested in using this functionality, please contact TLT.
*'''Smart boards and podiums.''' If you teach in [[SMART classroom|a room with a SMART Board or SMART Podium]], you will receive an email from TLT regarding the required Smart Notebook software and training. If you have any questions about SMART tools, please contact TLT.

===<i class="fa fa-check-square-o"></i> Schedule custom student support===
If you are asking your students to use technology this semester to complete a class activity (e.g., class project, group work), TLT will work with you to [[Custom student support|develop custom, course-specific student support]]. This could involve TLT-led workshops, online learning material, or some combination of live and online support. Contact TLT ([mailto:tlt@winona.edu tlt@winona.edu]) to discuss your student custom support needs.

===<i class="fa fa-check-square-o"></i> Select lynda.com courses===
You and all of your students have access to the entire online course library at [http://www.lynda.com]. Lynda courses cover basic through advanced technology, graphic design, photography, and other topics. Consider using lynda.com content, either an entire course or selected instructional videos, as a required or optional learning activity for your students. [[Lynda|Learn more about lynda and create an account]]. Contact TLT ([mailto:tlt@winona.edu tlt@winona.edu]) to discuss how to set your class up as a group in lynda.com so that you can track your students' progress.

===<i class="fa fa-check-square-o"></i> Request class storage===
Course-specific, campus network storage space can be requested for the duration of a semester. This is one way to support the sharing of course-related files. A class store must be requested from ITS. [[Class_Store|More information...]]

===<i class="fa fa-check-square-o"></i> Identify your video production needs===
If you are interested in creating videos to support your courses, WSU offers several solutions for both recording classroom activities live and recording videos in a more controlled, studio environment.

PHISHING IS SERIOUS BUSINESS! IT THREATENS YOUR SECURITY ALONG WITH THE SECURITY OF WINONA STATE UNIVERSITY.

The most common form of phishing is emails pretending to be from a legitimate retailer, bank, organization, or government agency. The sender asks to “confirm” your personal information for some made-up reason: your account about to be closed, an order for something has been placed in your name, or your information has been lost because of a computer problem. A phishing email that you may receive regarding Winona State is one which states that the WSU IT Department wants you to confirm your username and password. Do NOT do this! THE WSU IT DEPARTMENT WOULD NEVER ASK YOU TO REVEAL PRIVATE INFORMATION IN AN EMAIL

===What Should You Do===
*If you receive an email that asks for your PASSWORD, CREDIT CARD, or any other private data - '''DO NOT respond''' (email, web form, etc.). Although these emails can (and usually do) look official and appear to be sent from a legitimate source, they are SCAMS. The WSU Information Technology Department would never ask you to reveal private information such as your password via email. This is also true of your Bank, PayPal, e-Bay, etc.
*The safest way to protect yourself is to '''NEVER share your password(s) with anyone'''.
*Don’t click on links within emails that ask for your personal information.
*Never enter your personal information in a pop-up screen.
*Report Phishing Emails
*If you suspect or know that private data is being used or shared inappropriately, refer to the Minnesota State system [http://www.minnstate.edu/system/its/security/breachnotification/index.html Breach Notificaiton Standard]and contact your supervisor.

The WSU Information Technology Department would never ask you to reveal private information such as your password via email. This is also true of your Bank, PayPal, e-Bay, etc.
*The safest way to protect yourself is to '''NEVER share your password(s) with anyone'''.
*Don’t click on links within emails that ask for your personal information.
*Never enter your personal information in a pop-up screen.
*Report Phishing Emails
*If you suspect or know that private data is being used or shared inappropriately, refer to the Minnesota State system [http://www.minnstate.edu/system/its/security/breachnotification/index.html Breach Notificaiton Standard]and contact your supervisor. If you have any questions or concerns you can contact [[TSC Phone Support]] at 507-457-5240.

====Report Phishing Emails Please====
To help the WSU IT Department identify security threats please forward any emails that ask for your password to '''abuse@winona.edu.'''

==Best Practices==
The safest way to protect yourself is to NEVER share your password(s) with anyone.

==How to Protect Yourself from Commons Scams==
*If you get an email or pop-up message that asks for personal or financial information, do not reply.
*The IT department would NEVER ask you to verify your password in an e-mail so do not verify in an email.
*WSU laptops already have Antivirus software DO NOT install another antivirus software.
*You have not won the lottery in Spain, the Netherlands, Canada or anywhere else. You didn’t buy a ticket, did you? Do not reply to these emails.
*A poor widow or bank manager does not need your help to move money from a dead person’s account to another place so do not reply.
*The IRS is not electronically auditing you so do not reply.
*The jury duty clerk never calls for your Social Security number so do not provide it.
*Banks and credit card companies do not email you to verify your account information so do NOT reply.

BBudnick13: /* What to Do When Things Go Wrong – or May Have. Time is of the Essence! */

==Data Security and WSU==
[[File:DataSecurityImage.png|right| 325 px]]
===Why is Data Security Important?===

One of the most important concerns in any
organization is data security. Data security is important because it maintains the overall stability and credibility of the institution.
As a [[Winona State]] employee you are responsible for adhering to federal, state, and institutional
policies and guidelines.
Employee failure to abide by these guidelines may prevent Winona State servers from connecting to the internet which leads to a loss of business productivity.

==WSU’s Legal Obligations==

=====FERPA=====
(Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) Is a federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable
program of the U.S. Department of Education.

=====MnGDPA=====
(Minnesota Government Data Practices Act) The Government Data Practices Act, Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 13, creates a presumption that state and local government records are accessible to the public unless a statute or rule provides otherwise.

====={{MinnState}} Policies & Procedures=====
*[http://www.winona.edu/it/security {{MinnState}} Policies & Procedures]

=====WSU Policy=====
*[http://www.winona.edu/it/security WSU Policy]

==Your Responsibilities==

As part of the Winona State Community you are expected to follow some very important guidelines to help keep our campus safe.

===Check Links in Emails—So Important!===

Let's first answer the question: Why do I need to validate a web-link or an email address? The short answer (like the answer for most security related questions) is that you cannot always trust people.

The Winona State IT Department will never require you to provide your WSU credentials in an email. If you receive an email requesting this information do not open it and please forward it to [mailto:abuse@winona.edu abuse@winona.edu.].

[[File:DSecurityExample.png|left|250 px]]Only use your WSU password on sites if they end in winona.edu or minnstate.edu. There can be many things that look superficially legitimate, however with an extra keen glance suspicious items are readily visible. You need to verify! To verify URL links you just 'mouse over' the link(s) that you are being directed to. This is done by putting your mouse on a hyperlink until the application pops up the actual destination hidden in the link.

===Protect Your Password===

'''Do NOT share your WSU password with anyone.'''
*Not with your office administrator
*Not with your kids or spouse
*Not with your IT Staff. Other IT Staff will have access with their own password!
*Never let anyone use your keyboard while you are logged into the device.

===Verify People===
'''Verify, Verify, Verify!'''

If someone from IT or Facilities comes to assist you:
*Were you expecting someone to complete a work order?
*Have you checked their IT /Facilities badge? All IT and Facilities employees should be wearing a badge.
*Have you checked our employment verification checker?
**Check one person at a time by Tech ID (Red/Green)

**View All IT Student Workers'''
***http://www.winona.edu/it/security and then '''click on WSU Employee Verification link on right'''.

===Report it!===
Did you fall for a scam or are you just suspicious? When things go wrong … or something doesn’t seem right. '''Report it to [mailto:abuse@winona.edu abuse@winona.edu]'''

===Things To Be Concerned About===

*Groggy Monday morning and you fall for a phishing scheme
**Maybe you replied to an email
**Maybe you JUST clicked a link
*Accidentally type your password into the wrong field of a form of a legitimate page!
**Typed your password into the username fields
**Cursor was actually in your instant messenger window
*Received or realized you sent private data in an insecure manner, e.g. emailed a SSN.
*You start receiving tons of non-deliverable emails
**"I didn't send this email message..."
*You lose a device (phone, PDA, tablet, laptop or storage device) or suspect it was stolen
*Your work environment has been upset
**documents have been moved or are missing
**a different user last used your computer
*Unsolicited calls or visits from IT or Maintenance

===What to Do When Things Go Wrong – or May Have. Time is of the Essence!===
*Change your password upon even a slight suspicion of it being compromised
**Notify supervisor/human resources/IT/Legal Affairs/Security immediately
**Finite window of opportunity to capture logs or video
*Forward spam or phishing attempts to [mailto:abuse@winona.edu abuse@winona.edu] then delete
*Power off the device and bring it to Technical Support in Somsen 207
*Remotely wipe your lost devices
*Call Tech Support at 507.457.5240 for more information

Data security

2018-01-03T16:14:57Z

BBudnick13:

==Data Security and WSU==
[[File:DataSecurityImage.png|right| 325 px]]
===Why is Data Security Important?===

One of the most important concerns in any
organization is data security. Data security is important because it maintains the overall stability and credibility of the institution.
As a [[Winona State]] employee you are responsible for adhering to federal, state, and institutional
policies and guidelines.
Employee failure to abide by these guidelines may prevent Winona State servers from connecting to the internet which leads to a loss of business productivity.

==WSU’s Legal Obligations==

=====FERPA=====
(Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) Is a federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable
program of the U.S. Department of Education.

=====MnGDPA=====
(Minnesota Government Data Practices Act) The Government Data Practices Act, Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 13, creates a presumption that state and local government records are accessible to the public unless a statute or rule provides otherwise.

====={{MinnState}} Policies & Procedures=====
*[http://www.winona.edu/it/security {{MinnState}} Policies & Procedures]

=====WSU Policy=====
*[http://www.winona.edu/it/security WSU Policy]

==Your Responsibilities==

As part of the Winona State Community you are expected to follow some very important guidelines to help keep our campus safe.

===Check Links in Emails—So Important!===

Let's first answer the question: Why do I need to validate a web-link or an email address? The short answer (like the answer for most security related questions) is that you cannot always trust people.

The Winona State IT Department will never require you to provide your WSU credentials in an email. If you receive an email requesting this information do not open it and please forward it to abuse@winona.edu.

[[File:DSecurityExample.png|left|250 px]]Only use your WSU password on sites if they end in winona.edu or minnstate.edu. There can be many things that look superficially legitimate, however with an extra keen glance suspicious items are readily visible. You need to verify! To verify URL links you just 'mouse over' the link(s) that you are being directed to. This is done by putting your mouse on a hyperlink until the application pops up the actual destination hidden in the link.

===Protect Your Password===

'''Do NOT share your WSU password with anyone.'''
*Not with your office administrator
*Not with your kids or spouse
*Not with your IT Staff. Other IT Staff will have access with their own password!
*Never let anyone use your keyboard while you are logged into the device.

===Verify People===
'''Verify, Verify, Verify!'''

If someone from IT or Facilities comes to assist you:
*Were you expecting someone to complete a work order?
*Have you checked their IT /Facilities badge? All IT and Facilities employees should be wearing a badge.
*Have you checked our employment verification checker?
**Check one person at a time by Tech ID (Red/Green)
***http://www.winona.edu/it/security and then '''click on the WSU Employee Verification link on right'''.
**View All IT Student Workers'''
***http://www.winona.edu/it/security and then '''click on WSU Employee Verification link on right'''.

===Report it!===
Did you fall for a scam or are you just suspicious? When things go wrong … or something doesn’t seem right. '''Report it to abuse@winona.edu'''

===Things To Be Concerned About===

*Groggy Monday morning and you fall for a phishing scheme
**Maybe you replied to an email
**Maybe you JUST clicked a link
*Accidentally type your password into the wrong field of a form of a legitimate page!
**Typed your password into the username fields
**Cursor was actually in your instant messenger window
*Received or realized you sent private data in an insecure manner, e.g. emailed a SSN.
*You start receiving tons of non-deliverable emails
**"I didn't send this email message..."
*You lose a device (phone, PDA, tablet, laptop or storage device) or suspect it was stolen
*Your work environment has been upset
**documents have been moved or are missing
**a different user last used your computer
*Unsolicited calls or visits from IT or Maintenance

===What to Do When Things Go Wrong – or May Have. Time is of the Essence!===
*Change your password upon even a slight suspicion of it being compromised
**Notify supervisor/human resources/IT/Legal Affairs/Security immediately
**Finite window of opportunity to capture logs or video
*Forward spam or phishing attempts to abuse@winona.edu then delete
*Power off the device and bring it to Technical Support in Somsen 207
*Remotely wipe your lost devices
*Call Tech Support at 507.457.5240 for more information

==Required Online Training==

====PJPD====
(Public Jobs Private Date)

Log onto '''D2L.winona.edu — D2L Required Training'''

The Public Jobs Private Data (PJPD) Course is a mandatory online training course for all employees of the {{MinnState}} system. This online course provides a structural framework for handling sensitive data and how to avoid most common end-user mistakes.

{{TOC_Float_Right}}
[[File:Adobe Connect app icon.png|150px|left]]

Professor Wood is using Adobe Connect for classes when weather prohibits travel to campus. In this Custom Student Support we will attend classes during the first week of the semester to introduce you to the [[Adobe_Connect| Adobe Connect]] Online Rooms Found in D2L BrightSpace. Adobe Connect is a full-featured web conferencing tool that can be used on desktops, laptops, and mobile devices. It supports video and audio over the Internet, document and screen sharing, and more. It is web-based and does not require the installation of any major software application. While every student can access their own instance of Adobe Connect (see directions for [[Adobe_Connect#Activating your Connect host account and accessing Connect Manager| Activating and Accessing Your Adobe Connect Accounts]] the following directions provided below are specifically for accessing Online Rooms via your D2L BrightSpace Adobe Connect Online Rooms.

==Hardware/Software==
* D2L BrightSpace Adobe Connect '''Online Rooms'''

==Before You Begin==
When participating in Online Rooms you will want to make sure to take two important steps to make the experience of participating in this meeting a success.
# Have a set of ear buds or headphones to separate the sound from your speakers and microphone so you do not have feedback.[[File:Buds.jpg|Float Right|100px]]
# Before you start using Adobe Connect, use this link [https://minnstate.adobeconnect.com/common/help/en/support/meeting_test.htm Adobe Connect Diagnostic Test] to make sure you have a good connection, the Flash media player, and Adobe Connect presenter app installed.
[[File:Adobe Connect Test Link.jpg|500px|center|link=https://minnstate.adobeconnect.com/common/help/en/support/meeting_test.htm]]

==Accessing Adobe Connect Online Rooms via D2L BrightSpace==
To access the class Adobe Connect room go to the course and from the '''Communication''' menu select '''Online Rooms'''.

[[File:OnlineChatD2L.PNG|500px]]

Choose the room your professor has set up for this class to meet by selecting the '''Join''' link. Make sure you click on this link one time as it is easy to enter the room twice. If this happens you will simply need to close one of the instances you launched. [[File:2017-12-18 10-51-24.png|right]]
'''Important:''' if you click the Join and the Adobe Connect software doesn't open, you may have popup blockers in your browser preventing this application from loading. To allow Connect to load click on icon in image to the right (see red arrow), choose the "Always allow pop-ups from https://winona.ims..., select Done button, and you will enter into the room.

==Connect Audio Settings==
Your professor may want you to participate with audio for the class and this requires you to launch the '''Audio Setup Wizard''' that is found within the '''Meeting''' menu. The following steps walk you through this process

# Click Next to begin testing your laptop audio output.
# On the Sound Output page, click Play Sound button. If you did not hear the sound sample, click Help button for more information.
