-====== Computing Support Transition to CSE Information ======+~~NOTOC~~ 
 + 
 +====== Computing Support Transition ====== 
 + 
 +===== Summary ===== 
 + 
 +  * The main focus will be on transitioning **redundant** services such as email, class management/grading and windows desktop support to University supported methods and applications. 
 +    * There will also be a focus on providing a better user experience and updated applications in many computing applications 
 +    * Computing support will also be available at greater  
 + 
 +<box 40% right green round|**Contact Information**> 
 +  * [[net@physics.umn.edu]] remains the main contact email 
 +  * 626-1139 should be used for **urgent** requests 
 +  * PAN 370 is currently the main SPA support office 
 + 
 +  * [[http://www.physics.umn.edu/people/bren.html|Jesse Bren]] is the Unit Service Leader (USL) 
 +  * [[http://www.physics.umn.edu/people/sull0153|Chad Sullivan]] is the Transitional Service Leader (TSL)

 +===== Transitional Services Statuses ===== 
 + 
 +At this time no services have changed. 
 + 
 +===== Service Transitions ===== 
 + 
 +==== Email and Collaboration Services ==== 
 +=== Email === 
 +  * Over time all email accounts will be migrated to University supported email services 
 +  * The benefits to this are far reaching: 
 +    * Higher reliability/uptime 
 +    * Enhanced malicious email scanning 
 +    * Availability on multiple devices 
 +    * Time/Effort/Resources saved on local IT support 
 +    * Etc. 
 +  * At this time there is no requirement to change, however many of these benefits can be realized simply by setting up email forwarding in [[https://www.physics.umn.edu/resources/myphys/physacct_email.html|MyPhys]] 
 + 
 +==== Class Management ==== 
 +  * The University offers these services at no charge for the school as well as various training when necessary 
 +=== Class Pages === 
 +    * Moodle is what has been used in the past 
 +    * Canvas is what will likely be used in the future 
 +  * CSE-IT and Physics IT are exploring options to move the **class page archives** to an updated website interface 
 +=== Grades === 
 +  * This type of data is too sensitive to maintain on local servers and websites
