Continuity Resources
Posted May 29, 2020

ITS has been providing online resources that allow working from home to be much easier.
ITS had many of these tools in place long before the pandemic hit. So the foundation for working from home was already in place.
Thank goodness.
Can you imagine the headaches if SIUE employees didn't have Teams Calling, Virtual Lab/Remote Software Access, Blackboard, Websafe, Zoom licenses, Microsft Teams in place, the Office 365 Suite, the Adobe Creative Cloud Suite, etc, etc... at our disposal? Those who had jobs that allowed full time work from home during this pandemic, have no doubt used at least somme of these resources almost non-stop.
The Instructional Design & Learning Technologies division within ITS lists some of the tools SIUE offers to work remotely and how to access & use them.
ITS also has some continuity resources on their home page for faculty, staff & students:
And of course, there is the always helpful ITS Help Desk if you have any questions or run into any issues:
Hopefully these tools and resources provided by ITS have made working from home a lot easier than it would have been otherwise.
Once we all return to work on campus, hopefully many of these tools that many have now become more familiar with, will be incorporated into our day to day routines.
