All IT Bulletin Stories
Message from the CIO
Keeping with tradition, we dedicate the January bulletin to sharing some of our annual performance metrics in support of institutional priorities and strategic objectives. In this issue, we feature a selection of the TTU IT divisional metrics presented at our annual Year in Review event in December 2019. Additionally, we showcase the winners of our “Excellence in IT Innovation” award. We look forward to another productive and successful year of partnerships. Happy New Year!
Message from the CIO
In this edition of our IT bulletin, we bring you a diverse range of articles that explore the intersection of technology and education, security, and sustainability. First, we delve into AI voice spoofing, an emerging threat that manipulates audio recordings. We highlight Raider PC Mart, a TTU online platform facilitating the exchange of used TTU computing equipment within our university that helps extend the lifespan of our technological investments. We provide information about another valuable service, our Computer Based Training (CBT) solution, Udemy, which offers thousands of hours of world-class content. With Summer in full swing, we share information on the importance of parental involvement in their child's digital life, providing insights into different parental controls for safer online experiences. We also provide some summer travel tips for our summer vacationers to keep their data safe and secure. Lastly, we share information about Microsoft's retirement of wikis in Teams, with a recommendation to quickly migrate your content to Microsoft OneNote to prevent data loss. As we continue to navigate the evolving landscape of technology, these articles offer valuable perspectives and guidance for the TTU community. Remember, stay informed, stay secure, and as always - Go Tech!
Message from the CIO
The TTU community has seen a flurry of activity over the last few months – graduation, Red Raider Orientation, potential students’ campus visits and tours, and current students enjoying the campus grounds for study and socializing. We hope you are finding time to rest and revitalize, as well. We encourage you to also make time to review the information in this issue regarding the protection of TTU Information Resources and keeping your password secure, as these are critical responsibilities that all TTU students, faculty, and staff share. Additionally, we have provided information on the transition from Skype to Teams and the campus migration to Top Hat for Learning Engagement Tool. Stay safe and Go Tech!
