A major upgrade to the University’s email system, beginning in May 2013, will bring a wealth of new features and improvements, expanding the way Loyola faculty, staff, and students communicate with each other and the outside world.
Campus-wide in Summer 2013! Sakai is a flexible open-source collaborative learning environment (CLE) that provides Loyola faculty, students, and staff with tools to support teaching and learning activities. Sakai can be used for courses, research projects, organizations, or groups. There are a number of training opportunities available. You can also login to Sakai and start using right away.
Loyola is now offering a cloud-based file storage service to faculty, staff and students. The service, called LUC Box, provides a simple and secure way to create, store, and share files and folders in the “cloud” (in other words, via the internet). LUC Box can make it easier to collaborate and access documents from anywhere on any device.
A competency badge in "Video" from Digital Media Services will encourage users to review the process of identifying equipment, theory, production, post-production and sharing of digital-format video. This track contains twenty-one courses, including optional courses, that review both hardware and software required for working with video.
Use your mobile device to access many Loyola online services and applications, including BB Learn, LOCUS, Courses, Maps, Directories and the Library, via the Loyola Mobile app. ITS also provides support to Loyola faculty and staff to register and sync devices with GroupWise email, calendar, and contacts.
