An indication that you may need to change your password is that your computer does not connect to UDel Secure after enter your user name and password in the UDel Secure Enter Credentials box.

Passwords must be six to eight characters in length and must not contain dictionary words. To change your UD NetID password, log into the UD network page.

Have you thought about how you would reach your students if they did not or could not attend class on campus? In the face of a changing ecomony and the threat of the H1N1 epidemic, course continuity calls for technology preparedness. Consideration of alternative synchronous and asynchronous methods of instruction is necessary should you need to instruct your students remotely.

Online tools such as Sakai, Jing, VoiceThread, Yodio and Google Docs can help you instruct your students at a distance. To learn more about these and other tools, CEPP faculty and staff are invited to attend a distance-learning workshop in 206 ALW on Sept. 30, 8:30-11:00 a.m. Topics will include how to organize information on the web, how to collaborate, and how to create a central meeting point for your class. To register, send an e-mail to Alice Daugherty.

In addition, Academic Technology Services offers Technology Options for Course Continuity in Event of H1N1 Outbreak.

To do this, they should log onto the UD Network Page with their UD NetID and password. After logging in, they should click on the Forward Your Email link, enter their OET user account name (e.g., name@oet.udel.edu) in the box, and click Submit.

Exchange clients who read their mail at webmail.oet.udel.edu or through Outlook may notice that they have not received external mail since yesterday. These clients should temporarily break e-mail forwarding by logging onto the UD Network Page with their UD NetID and password. After logging in, they should click on the Forward Your Email link and then click on the Turn Off Forwarding button near the bottom of the page. These users will then be able to read and send new mail messages by logging into UD webmail with their UD NetID.

Updates on the availability of the Exchange server will be posted at this site. Anyone who has contacted OET personally will be informed when the Exchange server is available and when they can turn forwarding back on.
