The College of Education per a February 27 e-mail has requested that ED240 be placed on a higher priority that ED116 to become a smart classroom.
Another Automatic Update
Microsoft pushed out another automatic update that will effect how you use the terminal services client on your PC. The terminal services client application was modified by Microsoft to be more compatible with the new Vista O/S. The application no longer allows you to enter a domain name in a seperate field. You now must enter username@mash (ex. kernanb@mash) in the userid field. By default the application will try to authenticate against the local machine rather than the mash domain if you only enter the username.
Language Lab
There is current consideration under way for placing equipment in the APSC computer lab that would give language students the ability to utilize current language learning applications.
Smart LabsCALEA
I met with several faculty and the division chair in Natural Science for a tour of several science labs. The goal of this group is to have 12 computer workstations and a modified smart-classroom setup available in each of 10 science labs.
CALEA is intended to provide law enforcement agencies the ability to conduct electronic surveillance in a networked environment. The State of Oregon Department of Justice has provided me with advice on how to maintain complience. All wireless and wired stations connected to our network must be accessed only by members of the WOU community. One exception will include public access to the eight workstations behind the Hamersly Library reference desk.
It is now possible to access the web from the thin-client stations without a userid and password. I am working on securing them.
