Â鶹´«Ã½

Information Technology (IT) Services is hosting two drop-in training sessions in early May for those who would like to learn more about flexible hybrid usage and how to utilize classroom equipment.

Interested staff and faculty must have a laptop compatible with the new audio-visual equipment to utilize flexible hybrid resources.

To ensure optimal functionality with the flexible hybrid equipment, your Â鶹´«Ã½ laptop must have: a USB-C connection and up-to-date drivers and firmware.

If you are unsure your device is compatible or requires an update, please submit a ticket to the IT Service Desk at least two weeks prior to the event (i.e. no later than the week of Monday, April 15) to ask for confirmation and assistance.

Personal devices (students/external visitors)

Although IT Services has tested Â鶹´«Ã½ issued devices with the flexible hybrid equipment, they are unable to test every make and model of various personal devices that individuals bring to the classroom and/or events. As a result, there is no guarantee that personal devices will be fully functional with the Â鶹´«Ã½ flexible hybrid equipment. For external visitors using personal devices, IT Services recommends the staff member responsible for an event book a flexible hybrid loaner laptop from the IT Service Desk (this will be assigned in their name). This is a loaner device that is booked for daily use only.
