Purpose
Starting new at a university can be overwhelming. To help new students and new employees, I organized a document describing all of the software and services offered by my University’s IT department.
Design
The document links out to 43 resources that broadly fall into seven categories:
- Technical Support
- Accounts Setup & Management
- Hardware
- Software Training
- Classroom Technology
- Resources
- Security
Result
One resulting document was the New Student Guide to Technology. It was distributed to new students upon their admission, and was included in the Online Orientation for the University’s learning management system.
The other similar guide was the New Faculty Guide to Technology. Each school in the university adopted the guide as part of their new faculty orientations, and the Human Resources department included it in the their on-boarding package for every new employee.
