What is Tegrity? (link) |
Tegrity is a "course capture" or "lecture capture" software system that allows for the recording of class sessions. Computer screens are captured, as well as the audio of the presentation. If the room is equipped with a static camera or a tracking camera, video of the presenter, professor or whiteboard/chalkboard writing can be captured and included as well.
Tegrity is integrated with Sakai, W&L's course management system, and students can access course capture presentations online through the course site. |

Why is my Sakai assessment (course evaluation, test, survey) not showing up? (link) |
Check your Delivery Dates and the time of day.
Sakai allows you to set both the date and the time-- down to the second-- when your assessment will become available. Because it uses by default the time that you publish the assessment, you might find that the time is later than you expected.

How do I save data files on a "frozen" classroom PC or laptop from the ITS laptop pool? (link) |
Classroom PCs and ITS laptops are referred to as "frozen" since data you save to the C:\ drive will be deleted when the computer is rebooted.
These computers have a T:\ drive where data can be saved and not overwritten during a reboot. The T:\ drive is limited to a maximum size of 2GB. This drive is labeled "SAVE LOCAL DATA HERE".
You may also use a memory stick connected to the USB port on the computer to save your data.

If you need access to Colleague, please go to https://managementtools.wlu.edu/AccessRequest/ and request an account. Once the proper approvals are granted, an account will be set up for you. Accounts are set up on an individual basis and they should not be shared with anyone. In most cases, when dealing with course and student information, the Registrar’s office will provide some level of training or guidance on how to access the data you require.
If you already have access to Colleague but cannot remember your login information or have issues accessing the system, go to http://webhelpdesk.wlu.edu and create a ticket under the category of Administrative Data – Colleague Issues/Requests. Once submitted, the ticket will be automatically routed to the appropriate person who can help you resolve problems. |
