T-Square: upcoming training

Friday, August 24th, 2007

CETL is running several classes on T-Square, including basic classes as well as sessions focused on more specific topics. If you’re wondering what the extent of T-Squares capabilities are, they can answer your questions and provide a place to suggest improvements.

T-Square is Georgia Tech’s implementation of the open-source project, Sakai, which we develop here on campus. We expect to be able to change and develop its feature set over time to better suit your needs as Faculty members. So if you have suggestions, questions, or ideas for how you’d like T-Square to function, the training classes are a great place to become more familiar with the current features and make suggestions for future ones.

There’s also the T-Square Remedy request form under the Support link at
https://t-square.gatech.edu/portal

The ticket form can be used to report a problem, request help with a course setup, or make feature requests.

Zero-Day virus warning: Are you getting emails for website accounts that you didn’t request?

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

Are you seeing spam emails giving you account login information for MP3 and game websites? We’ve just gotten word that a few of these are making their way through the GT email system. As usual, they contain a link that will send you to a webpage which tries to download a virus to your computer.

The virus in question is currently a “zero-day” threat, meaning that antivirus corporations like McAfee haven’t created an antidote or prevention definition yet. So please be careful not to click on links in unexpected emails, both at Georgia Tech and at home!
