Technology upgrades and changes, Summer 2008

Cool things are happening technologically at CELOP. There will be lots of changes that immediately benefit faculty and teaching starting this summer, including:

  • New Mac Minis and LCD monitors in MLL 255 and MLL 257.
  • eMacs in faculty offices.
  • Expanded wireless coverage and capacity at CELOP (reaching all classrooms).
  • Smart Classroom “lite” capabilities in 269, 257.
  • All logins, faculty and student, tied to BU login accounts.
  • FileMaker entirely web browser-based for faculty.
  • Scheduled recording of Comcast programs to our network for lab use.
  • More cool equipment to borrow: small flash memory-based still/video cameras, iPods, iPod speakers, laptops running Mac OS and Windows, etc.

Read the complete memo to faculty (4/22/08), fill out the Office Computer Preference Form, and activate your "Active Directory" account on the Tech Info page on the CELOP INTRAnet.
