Classroom Computer Login Method - Pilot Group

What additional information is available regarding the Classroom Computer Login Method fall 2024 pilot group?

During the fall semester of 2024, ITS will pilot a change to the software running on the dedicated computer inside 25 classrooms across campus. As part of the pilot, the instructor's computer in your classroom will be upgraded to Windows 11 and will require the instructor to log in using their BGSU username and password. This change will allow the use of additional tools and software available on the device while also making the device more secure. When an instructor is finished using the computer, they will also need to log out of the computer. As a reminder, a prompt has been added on a timer to log the computer out after it has been idle automatically. This process for logging in to the computer during each use is already in place in our computer labs and classrooms utilizing Mac computers, but if the process is new to you, we are happy to set up a training demonstration. 

If you are teaching in one of these rooms, please report any active issues experienced when using your classroom to ITS using our standard contact information or via the form to report an issue on www.bgsu.edu/classrooms.
