adding print points without using lynx money

this cannot be done.
you must use your lesleycard (http://lesleycard.com)

we do not take cash or check, and the print system is an in-house system (internal to Lesley), so you need to bring-in debit/credit from the outside.

So basically, you have to:
1) Open a Cash Lynx Account
2) Convert debit/credit into Cash Lynx using the online payment thingy.
3) Convert Cash Lynx into Print Credits using the print credit login (at the workstation)
4) Print to your heart's content.

If you need help with this process, let us know.. just come by our office on the Lower Level of University Hall (LL-010).

We are sorry for the inconvenience this may cause.

blantant disrespect

what's wrong with this picture? if you see this kind of stuff, please don't hesitate to report it asap!!!

it's rather upsetting because in putting this computer on the ground, it is opening the possibilities of the computer getting damaged.  In fact, this computer's plugs, cables, and screen are pretty beat-up as is.... primarily due to this kind of stuff.

So please, faculty, students, staff... everyone.. just stop it.
I mean, really... why put a computer on the ground? just to get it out of the way?
that is an expensive piece of equipment that is used by the community as a whole... when you physically displace it, you are leaving everyone else at a disadvantage.

horrible.

Starting off on the right foot.

Well, the school year is underway.
We here in the Labs & Classrooms office have been SLAMMED with orientation and training requests... not to mention the all-to-convenient catastrophic system failure claiming at least one of our classrooms... YEESSH!

It has been rather stressful, and we are trying our best to seek out all of our faculty to provide the support they need. So if you're a faculty member, thank you for your patience!

Some changes you can expect:
1) We just installed two (2) new kiosks on the 3rd floor opposite the Student Accounts/Registrar/Financial aid window(s)
2) A slimmed-down equipment reservation form.
3) New visual quick start guides & posters.

A few things that we are asking the community to assist with in keeping everything up and running...

• Please respect the technology in the classrooms.. we understand that things don't always work as expected, so the very least that you can do while things are working is to make sure that they are put back in their right place.  The A/V systems are amazingly simple, but things being out of place due to previous users modifying the set-up creates a world of problems for everyone.
• If there is something suspicious about the way technology works in an area... leave a comment for us... send an email to ut@lesley.edu to report an outage or problem.. but if it's a minor quirk, post it to our facebook page, twitter page, or leave a comment here..  Which leads me to...
• Follow us!  If you want the latest news and updates about technologies in different areas, leave us messages... we will get back to you ASAP.

Anyway... that's my morning rant.

UNIV-2-142 is OUT OF ORDER

NOTICE!!!!!!
The projection system in UNIV-2-142 (the Science lab on the Left) is OUT OF ORDER..
the media switcher (that controls the touch-screen interface) is completely fritz'd...

If you are a faculty and you need projection, you will have to come to the help-desk office to pick-up a portable LCD projector.
We are incredibly sorry for the inconvenience, and we will let you know when it's back up and running.

Thanks for understanding!

smart board?

SMART brand technologies are interactive touch-sensitive projection screens that allow you to capture notes and screen writings.
There are usually several requirements for a SMART board...
1) the SMART board device -- which is found in 2 different classrooms in University Hall (UNIV-3-087 & UNIV-2-141)
2) a computer with the SMART software -- usually connected to the SMART board via USB cable
3) a projector -- that's connected to the computer & projected onto the SMART board.

students, staff, and faculty are all welcome to sign-up for an orientation on how to use the SMART board by emailing ut@lesley.edu.... if you wait around, the Training Schedule will be updated with times & dates of when open-forum/discussion sessions around the SMART boards will take place... these sessions will involve a brief demonstration on how the SMART board functions...

Ask me anything

can I ask about the residents scholarship?

You can.. .but i wouldn't know anything about that...
try this:

Ask me anything

how do i connect to the lesley wirless?

you first need to enable your wifi-adapter... this can be done either by clicking "Turn on Airport" on your mac, or flipping a switch on your PC... *please refer to your specific instruction manual.

Once your adapter is turned on, let it scan.. If you are in a lesley wi-fi area, you will see Lesley_Wireless and Lesley_Secure.... Lesley_Wireless will let you connect w/out a password.... lesley_secure requires a password which you can find @ http://lesley.edu/wireless

Once you connect, open a web-browser and go to http://www.google.com (or something very simple)...
it will ask you to login using your Lesley Username and Password.

Cheers!

New DOBL-209 & DOBL-213

Here's a quick demo of the dual-screen functions in DOBL-209 & DOBL-213

Revving up for the Fall...

GOSH, it's been a busy past couple of weeks.
To give you an update of some of the things to expect:

• New classroom documentation
  We have placed new "black-box" how-to posters within the rooms (attached to the cabinet doors).  These signs should provide a quick-glance guide on what to expect from the blackbox components and how to report problems.
  
• A Laptop-Connection troubleshoot guide
  These flyers provide a quick reference for troubleshooting malfunctioning projection.  *e.g. did you check this?
  
• A new wifi-poster
  
  We are working on creating lesley branded wifi posters that will inform users of public wifi hotspots around campus.
  
• A new Faculty Survival Guide (2010-2011)
  This 7-page document gives a quick guide on the campus resources available to teachers.  These guides will be handed out during Faculty Development Day (Sept 8), and is available for download here:  Faculty Survival Guide

Sherrill MacBooks... and some issues.

We have discovered an interesting quirk about a certain line of 13" MacBook Pro models.

Known issue:
After installing Apple MultiTouch support in Windows XPSP3, we discovered that these machines started behaving erratically... their boot times jumped from a one-minute load-time to anywhere from 5-10 minutes.
We investigated the issue and explored a number of options, but for the time being, we have disabled Multi-Touch Support in Windows XP.... :(
I know, I know...

this means no two-touch scrolling, no right-clicking, no gestures, and no pinch-and-zoom under Windows XP.  Luckily, the library has provided a number of two-button scroll mice for Windows users.

Needless to say, MacOSX still has multi-touch support.

We are working diligently to find a solution and are in contact with other providers that use these particular hardware types.
Expect an upgrade/fix for the Spring 2011
