We strongly recommend that you speak to the TRC prior to making any technology purchases (hardware or software). IT will support only those purchases which are made through our department or with our approval. Why purchase through IT?
IT will arrange a meeting to orient each new employee, provide accounts, and set up equipment. Adjunct faculty may request a loaner laptop during the terms that they are teaching. New faculty may contact the Technology Resource Center, technology@hartwick.edu, to arrange computer assignment and orientation to their accounts, WebAdvisor, and D2L, the College’s learning management system.
Faculty and Staff Supported Technology
Note: Only supported and legally-licensed software should be installed on Hartwick-owned computers.
D2L is the College’s learning-management system. It offers course and content authoring tools, gradebook, electronic assignment dropboxes, online discussion board, tests, and surveys, as well as other course tools. Hartwick College also owns the reporting tool Insights and the lecture capture solution Capture. All faculty, staff, and students have D2L accounts. Access D2L at https://d2l.hartwick.edu using your Hartwick network username and password.
For academic courses, course shells are automatically generated by Datatel each semester, and rosters are uploaded and updated nightly to each course. Instructors can copy content from one semester to another without having to recreate materials.
Hartwick College also uses D2L for institutional ‘organizations’. These may be working groups that need a physical space to hold files or exchange information.
For assistance using D2L, try the handouts and tutorials in the D2L Online Help organization, https://d2l.hartwick.edu, or contact the TRC.
