As we once again fall into the start of school, it’s a good idea to take a deep breath and revisit some of the most salient facts about IT at Miami. One of the biggest services we provide—arguably the most important—is tech support for the systems and software we're responsible for.

How do you get support? Let’s review.

1. Check the IT Help portal

From this page, you can view contact info for the support desk, search the Knowledge Base directly, find links to reset your password, and much more. There is even a section of helpful KB articles curated for different times of the school year. For instance, right now, there are several links relating to remote learning and work that you will find appropriate for the current environment.

Visit the site now at MiamiOH.edu/ITHelp.

2. Search the Knowledge Base!

With over 1,600 public articles on common Miami tech topics (like how to conduct Zoom meetings, where to find your Banner+ number, or how to use Webex in Canvas), chances are you’ll find the answers to your questions in the Knowledge Base.

Search the KB now at MiamiOH.edu/KnowIT.

3. Check the Remote Tools Updates blog

As we move forward with working and learning remotely, and even as we begin to return to campus, you may find yourself confused about which conferencing tool to use for what situation, or where to go for help. We have collected all this information into one place: the Remote Tools Updates blog. The blog will update twice per week with valuable tips about the web conferencing applications we use at Miami (Webex, Zoom, and Google Meet).
