The Division of Information Technology staff are heating up with the summer and preparing for the upcoming academic year, including upgrading and maintaining buildings and rooms, updating systems, revising documentation, hiring staff, and even retiring some services.
Spring/summer cleaning might be in order. This is the time to follow university procedures regarding retention schedules and dispose of documentation, media, and equipment appropriately.
Reminders:
- Beginning July 5, all Zoom recordings older than 180 days (Jan. 4, 2021, or older) will be automatically moved to Zoom Trash.
- After August 1, IT will no longer retain any course content data from K-State Online, the homegrown Learning Management System, used from 2008-2013 and retired in 2016.
- On August 31, K-State’s existing personal webpage service will be retired. Faculty and staff can publish business-related content on their academic or administrative unit’s presence within the Content Management System (CMS).
The summer is the perfect time to beef up your skills. Office 365 training opportunities abound.
