There are currently major system updates available to the PC (Windows 10) and Mac (El Capitan) platforms. However, as ITS continues to test these new environments, we ask that faculty and staff do not perform these updates on their work machines.

On Friday, October 23 and Saturday, October 24, from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., D’Youville College is hosting the Buffalo area’s 2015 THATCamp. THATCamps (The Humanities and Technology Camp) are “unconferences.” They are open, collaborative, interactive workshop-style meetings at which humanists, artists and technologists of all skill levels gather to share and build skills to energize their teaching, research and artistic practice.
Friday’s line-up features a dynamic array of boot camp workshops with practitioners in a range of fields. On Saturday, all participants can propose sessions on the spot and we’ll teach and learn together.
To read about THATCamp, please click the included flyer, or visit the website at buffalo2015.thatcamp.org. For any questions concerning THATCamp, contact Mark Gallimore at Ext. 8353.
We’re looking forward to seeing you there!

This summer, Canisius ITS acquired Qualtrics, an advanced online survey application for use by students, faculty and staff.
Qualtrics is ideal for research surveys conducted by academic researchers but it’s also useful for students, faculty, staff and administrators who wish to collect information for use in campus business.
You can access Qualtrics by going to my.canisius.edu where, in All Applications & Services, Qualtrics has an icon. The FacTS Center runs workshops to help users get up and running in Qualtrics. For links to text and video tutorials and our workshop signup sheet, go to canisius.edu/surveys.
Checkbox, our old online survey tool, is no longer available.
