Welcome to Information Technology ServiceS
It
has been a busy summer for Information Technology Services (ITS) as we
have already begun working on many of our planned projects for this
year. We thank you
in advance for your
continued support as we work to improve both the services we provide
and the technology infrastructure we support.
This
newsletter (published each fall) is just one way that we share
information about the various services we offer and how different
technologies are being used at the University.
A few highlights include:
| - |
The bandwidth from the main campus to the
Internet has been increased from
100 Mb to 200 Mb.
|
| - |
The
newly updated myRedlands portal was released in late July.
The
myRedlands portal (my.redlands.edu) is the gateway to the electronic
resources supported by the University. |
| - |
A
new mobile application for the University of Redlands is now available
for the iPhone and iPad, as well as Android and Blackberry
phones. Look for it in your application store under the name
of
MOX. |
| - |
Our
Moodle pilot project is going strong with over 27 faculty members using
this application to augment their face-to-face instruction. Moodle
offers many similar features as Blackboard, along with additional
functionality that promotes collaboration. Moodle is an
open-source application with a large user-base support community. |
We
hope that this newsletter serves as an overview of the many services
our department offers. If you have suggestions and/or recommendations,
please do not hesitate to contact me at extension 8303 or by e-mail at
hamid_etesamnia@redlands.edu.

myRedlands Portal—New Look and Functionality
 The
myRedlands portal (my.redlands.edu) is the gateway to the electronic
tools supported by the University, as well as a wealth of information. An updated version of the
myRedlands portal was released in July, 2011.
Once you have logged onto the myRedlands
portal, you will have access
to e-mail, WebAdvisor, Blackboard, and Moodle, as well as pertinent
information and forms, all at one site.
The Faculty, Staff and Student tabs have remained the same. The same is true for the
majority of the content that can be found on each of the tabs.
