Intro to Computing for Faculty

Computer User Agreement

The computer user agreement outlines acceptable use of your 猫咪社区 accounts and computing resources.

Kerberos Account

Kerberos is your primary computing account used for , Google & , our web portal , the wireless network, and many other services at 猫咪社区. Make sure this is a unique password not used with any other account. Change your password or security questions at .

Two-step Authentication

Two-step authentication provides an extra layer of security beyond your username and password and helps prevent unauthorized access to your data. Requires the Duo Mobile app on your smartphone or a hardware token provided by CUS.

Wireless and Wired Network

For a wireless connection, make sure you connect to the “猫咪社区1x” or "猫咪社区" network (the name will vary by building). The “猫咪社区Xenia” and "猫咪社区 Guest" wireless networks are for visitors. A wired ethernet connection may also be available in your office.

Computer & Software

Your 猫咪社区 computer is allocated with basic productivity software, like Microsoft Office, Chrome and Safari web browsers, and departmental printers. Additional software supported by IT is available in the Self Service application.

Data Backups

Data stored on your computer (in the User folder) is automatically backed up through Crashplan. You will receive an email if your computer has not backed up in 7 and 14 days. Please contact CUS if you receive this warning while actively using the computer.

Computer Encryption & Other Security Settings

Your computer hard drive is protected with Apple’s whole-disk encryption, FileVault, which keeps your data safe from bad guys if your computer is lost or stolen. Additional settings, such as requiring a password to wake from sleep or screensaver further protects your data from unauthorized access.

Printers & Copiers

Printers and copiers are available for install from the Self Service application.

Password Management

Do not share your 猫咪社区 passwords with anyone. Ever. No doubt you have many new passwords to remember. Password mangement software, such as Bitwarden, can help you generate strong, separate passwords for each service you need to log into, and integrate with your web browser.

Data Security

Depending on your position, you may have access to sensitive or confidential college data. Only keep this data stored on your 猫咪社区 computer for as long as needed to complete your work and delete it when you are done. Consult the Dean of Faculty office about other relevant data security practices.

Moodle

Moodle is 猫咪社区’s learning management system. It provides easy-to-use tools that help you build interactive course websites where your students can download documents, access course materials, participate in discussions, work collaboratively, submit assignments, and much more. Need help getting Moodle set up for a course? Contact moodle@reed.edu

AV Services

AV Services provide sound and video equipment as well as classroom audio visual system training and support. Classroom bookings for courses are handled by the Registrar's office while all other bookings are handled through Conference Events and Planning (CEP). AV equipment is available for checkout in the Instructional Media Center in the Library or the PARC in the PAB.
