CIT Newsletter 4/2024: New this year, another scholarship program and transfer of e-mail aliases

This year we have equipped more classrooms with technology for hybrid learning

Since the summer we have been working on equipping the lecture halls with technology for hybrid teaching. This has added 12 additional classrooms that can be used comfortably for this type of teaching. Nevertheless, if you encounter a problem with the technology in these (and of course other) classrooms, please report it to us using the form. Please see the article on the website for details of what's new.

We have opened another round of applications for the scholarship programme

We have re-opened the scholarship programme, where you can apply for projects involving the use of technology in teaching. When designing your project, you can use the method sheet for distance and combined learning, which we link to on the website.

Looking back at the conference E-learning in practice III

We are looking for teachers who want to share their e-learning ideas

We are preparing a meeting in February where teachers will be able to share their experiences with e-learning. Each of the speakers will give a short presentation of their tips, ideas and experiences that the colleagues present can later use in their teaching.

Read interviews with Digital Humanities experts

How can digital technologies be used in the humanities? Four interviews on the Digital Humanities website explore the possibilities of modern technology in research and practice in different areas of the humanities.

We have added two new services to our offer

This year we have made several changes to our service offerings. Among the most notable are the introduction of the E-mail Aliases service at FF and Methodological Consultations in Teaching with Technology. Both can be found as usual in the catalogue of IT services on it.muni.cz.

Converting aliases to M365 - nothing to wait for!

The several times announced transfer of e‑mail aliases is approaching its final stage. Therefore, we ask users who have not yet managed to convert their email alias to M365 to do so as soon as possible. One of the reasons for the conversion is the possibility of shutting down the faculty server in the future. In the event of a shutdown, all aliases that have not been converted to M365 will then cease to function. All the details on how to make the transfer can be found in the detailed description on the website.

University switches from Hotjar to Clarity

If you are using a university license of Hotjar to analyze your site visits, please note that the university is migrating to Clarity across the board. The reason for this is to reduce costs and also because Clarity (from Microsoft's suite of tools) offers all the features you are used to in the basic version of Hotjar more conveniently. If you are interested in using Clarity, please contact our colleagues at the ICS MU using the attached form.

History of CIT: How time went with the mail server

The origins of the faculty mail server go back to 1992, when we started to operate e-mail services at the faculty. Back then, the servers were equipped with older technology and their performance was not very impressive compared to today, but it was sufficient for that time. In 2005, the equipment was upgraded and the improved server, which some of you know as Roseret, is still in use today. We also used to run the online Webmail interface on the server. However, there is a need to move forward and offer the best possible service to users - for this reason we are working on converting all email addresses and aliases to the M365 environment so that the faculty server can be shut down.
