IT News You Can Use - March 20

Did You Know?

• The Instructional Design Team is accepting projects for Autumn semester. Projects can be as small as working on an individual module or as large as a complete new course build. Services include, but are not limited to: one-on-one instructional design support, digital accessibility (captioning, remediating PowerPoint and pdfs, etc.), and studio work (filming, editing, podcasting, etc.). For more information email ENG-InstructionalDesign@osu.edu. 

 Accessibility Tips and Tricks 

• If you design or develop web pages or applications, be sure to take a look at the BuckeyeLearn Trainings related to web accessibility. Simply login to your BuckeyeLearn account and search for “Accessibility.” If you are a Web Developer or Designer, some good trainings would be “Accessibility Fundamentals: Designing an Accessible User Experience,” “Web Accessibility: Semantic Structure and Navigation,” “Web Accessibility: Visual Design and Colors,” and any other related to Web Accessibility.  

Upcoming Work

• On Monday, March 20 at 6:00 P.M., ETS will begin deployment of a new Data Loss Prevention agent. The persistent software agent will be installed on all College of Engineering endpoints to notify users of possible restricted data on the computer (such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, etc.). This agent does not make any other changes to the computer. The install will be silent and have no noticeable impact to system performance.
