Continuity Resources

Posted May 29, 2020

by Curt Price

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 disp...

Posted May 28, 2020

by Curt Price

During this period of social distancing and self-quarantine, people have been spending a lot more time at home.

Working from home... spending evenings at home... a lot.

Like a lot, a lot.

Zoom.us has been a popular way for people to see and communicate with friends and family who are also self-quarantined. But did you know that you can do a lot more on Zoom than just see and talk to people?

A fun way to pass the time is by playing games on Zoom.

Posted December 11, 2019

By: Niki Glick

You need to schedule a meeting with multiple people. Maybe you try to use the Outlook Scheduling Assistant to see when everyone is available, but depending on how many schedules you need to align and how busy everyone is, this task can be time-consuming and frustrating.

Screen Capture Utility (WIN)

Posted October 09, 2019

By Curt Price

There are a lot of screen capture utilities out there. Many of which are lacking in features and leave you feeling...meh.

But not ShareX.

It probably has too many features. But if you love choice, both in how to take a shot (like a scrolling capture or OCRing text) and what to do with it after (it supports 80 different destinations and plenty of annotation options), this is the capture utility you need for your Windows PC.
