ICT Inventory Survey administered to all undergraduate students in the faculty. Helps us get a better idea of your skills and what tools you have.

Security and Safety Your responsibilities. What happens if something happens to the computer? Using the Kensington lock. Common security guidelines. Always use the case! Anti-virus and anti-spyware.

Release Forms Outlines your legal responsibilities for having these computers. Outlines consequences if something happens to the computer.

Etiquette Ask your instructors what they are okay with in class. Don’t surf and do other things in class… it is VERY distracting to your instructors.

Starting Your Computer Charge the battery fully and let it run out almost fully as much as possible (keeps it healthier longer). Be safe with cords. If you want a mouse you need to buy it yourself. Logging on.

Creating Backup Discs Computers don’t come with discs anymore; you have to make them yourself. Keep the DVDs somewhere safe as you may need them if anything goes wrong with the computer.

Internet Access Home access first! Campus access first! EVDO access only when there’s nothing else. We are charged by how much you use. ion-Data_Optimizedhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolut ion-Data_Optimized
