Internet Connections
To improve the traffic flow on the Information Superhighway,
we are adding two more T-1 lines. This is in the final stages of hookup
with Texas A&M. These new lines will double our bandwidth-so it should
help alleviate some congestion.
 Web
Enhancements
This
month we added four new programs to the Faculty/Administrative option
from the Web. Rosters will display on the Web. You can easily print
them as you would any Web page.
The
other three programs will e-mail you the results: roster lists-in
tab-delimited ASCII format-that you can import into spreadsheets or
word processors; class e-mail lists-just copy these names into the
To: section of your e-mail; and WCB class lists-that you can save
from your e-mail and upload in Web Course in a Box.
The
Faculty Excellence Award voting will be online this semester. It will
be available as of February 18th. Another project that the programmers
are working on is a Web function to allow prospective SHSU students
to register for this summer's Orientation sessions online. ucs_lkn
and her phone number is 4497.
Institutional Research
We are planning to release a CD-ROM with the University
Student Database as of Fall 1999, the 1999 Freshmen Orientation Survey,
the First-time Full-time Freshmen Fall 1998 Retention Report, and the
Common Database. Those interested can pick up a copy from the Computer
Services Helpdesk window in AB1, 144. Those interested in learning SPSS
to use the Student Database, should sign up for the February 8th workshop
offered by Cathy Moak.
Residence Hall Connections
 Five
houses (including Aydelotte) are now wired for Ethernet. 25 students
are already using the computer network connection from their SHSU
residence hall rooms.
Training
One
of the classes
offered this month is an introduction to using forms
on your web site. This will allow you to survey individuals online
and eliminate the time-consuming and expensive steps of mail-out and
data entry. We are beginning an evaluation of Ziff Davis Education,
an online training source recommended by DIR. If you'd like to test
this online training in subjects such as the Microsoft products, HTML
programming, Photoshop, and Dreamweaver, please contact Nancy Sears
at ucs_nls@shsu.edu. If you'd
