<p>This guide is designed for faculty to help them locate and use the college's computing resources. Topics in this guide include: computer network access, Banner Web, Email, classroom support (AV equipment), GeorgiaVIEW and more!</p>
<h4>Tutorial 1: Logging into the Network</h4>
<p><img alt="LCD" height="144" src="http://www.gordonstate.edu/images/uploads/LCD.jpg" width="120"/></p>
<p>When Human Resources and Academic Affairs has completed the processing of your employment information and the Computer Services Department has been notified, a Gordon network account will be setup for you.</p>
<h2>Your Gordon Network Account:</h2>
<ul>
<li>Gives you access to technology resources such as on-campus computers, Email, GeorgiaVIEW, secured online content, network shared folders/files, etc.</li>
<li>
<p>Network accounts consist of a username and password. Faculty usernames will follow the convention outlined below...</p>
<p><strong>First name initial + Last name</strong></p>
<p>- for example, faculty member <strong>John Doe</strong> will have a network username of <strong>jdoe</strong>.</p>
</li>
<li>Your <em>Gordon Network Account</em> information (username / password) will be provided to you by your Division's Administrative Assistant.</li>
<li>Gordon uses complex password standards for increased security. For more information on network passwords and how to reset your password visit the page at...<br/> <a href="../../departments/computer-services/network-password/index.html"><u>http://www.gordonstate.edu/departments/computerservices/network-password.asp</u></a>.</li>
<li>Network Account passwords expire every 122 days.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Accessing Network Folders:</h2>
<p>When you log on to a networked computer you will have access to...</p>
<h3>Personal Network File Storage (H: drive)</h3>
<p>Personal Network File Storage is basically local access to a drive on a remote Server that is accessible from your <em>My Computer</em> screen. Your personal storage folder is mapped as the H: drive. For information about network file storage and how to use it visit the web page at...<br/> <a href="../../departments/computer-services/gordon-network-file-storage-information/index.html"><u>http://www.gordonstate.edu/departments/computerservices/hdrive.asp</u></a></p>
<h3>Mapped Network Drives</h3>
<p>Any shared network folders that you have been granted access to will be available in the network drives list under <em>My Computer</em>. For example, faculty can gain access to any class folders that have been setup for them by opening drive letter N: on Hawk.</p>
<h3>Secure FTP</h3>
<p>Network folders are accessible from an off-campus computer by using the FTPS protocol. <a href="../../departments/computer-services/ssl-encrypted-ftp-client-instructions-accessing-resources-from-home/index.html"><u>Click here</u></a> for instructions on using FTP to access folders on the network.</p>
<h4>Tutorial 2: Logging into Banner Web</h4>
<p>Faculty will use Banner Web to post semester grades, enter office hours, view advisees and class rosters, etc. All faculty are provided a Banner Web Login account. To login to Banner Web, go to the Gordon State College website at www.gordonstate.edu. Click on <strong>My Gordon</strong>; click on <strong>Log in to Banner Web</strong>. Enter your User ID (your nine-digit GCID#). Enter your PIN. If you have never logged in to Banner Web before, your initial PIN is provided to you by your Division's Administrative Assistant. You will be prompted to change the PIN to a six digit number of your choice which will become your permanent PIN. If you have logged on to Banner Web before, use the permanent PIN you created. Click on Login.</p>
<h4>Tutorial 3: Checking your Email Account</h4>
<p>All faculty/staff and students are provided a Gordon Email account along with their network accounts. Gordon State College uses the Microsoft Exchange (Outlook) email system.</p>
<p>To log into your email, follow the specific instructions for on-campus and off-campus access located at... <a href="../../departments/computer-services/gordon-email-access-instructions/index.html"><u>http://www.gordonstate.edu/departments/computerservices/email_access.asp</u></a>.</p>
<h2>Additional information about using Gordon Email</h2>
<ul>
<li><a href="../../departments/computer-services/gordon-email-address/index.html"><u>Determining your Email Address</u></a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.gordonstate.edu/pdf/spamfirewall.pdf" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><u>Spam Firewall User Guide</u></a> (pdf)</li>
</ul>
<h4>Tutorial 4: Using the Classroom Multimedia Equipment</h4>
<p>Most classrooms at Gordon State College are equipped with multimedia capabilities for teaching. Multimedia classrooms include a network connected PC, a Document Camera system , DVD/VCR player, and a ceiling mounted projector for instructional presentations.</p>
<p>For instructions on operating the different multimedia technologies around campus - visit the Instructional Technology Support web page at <a href="../../departments/computer-services/instructional-technology-support/index.html"><u>http://www.gordonstate.edu/departments/computerservices/multimedia.asp</u></a></p>
<h4>Tutorial 5: Logging into D2L</h4>
<p>Brightspace by D2L is a University System of Georgia initiative, through the Desire2Learn Learning Management System, that gives instructors the ability to provide rich online course content to their students. D2L can be used for full online courses or as a supplement to face-to-face courses.</p>
<p>D2L at Gordon State College can be accessed from the address below.</p>
<p><a href="https://gordonstate.view.usg.edu/d2l/login"><u>http://www.gordonstate.edu/desire2learn/</u></a></p>
<p>You will use your <strong>Gordon Network Account</strong> to logon to D2L.</p>
<p>The campus's certified D2L Trainer will offer training sessions on using the system throughout the academic year. For more detailed information about D2L and support visit our web site at <a href="../../academics/e-learning/brightspace-by-d2l/brightspace-by-d2l-instructor-resources/index.html"><u>http://www.gordonstate.edu/departments/computerservices/georgiaview.asp</u></a></p>
<h4>Tutorial 6: Security Awareness</h4>
<p>Gordon State College has several security measures in place to protect your privacy and personal information. It is important to familiarize yourself with these measures and there are some things that you can do to stay protected.</p>
<p>Please read our Security Awareness Tutorial from the link below for important terms to know and for information on security best practices, symptoms of a compromised computer, security measures implemented at Gordon, and other tips.</p>
<p><a href="../../departments/computer-services/security-awareness-tutorial/index.html"><u>http://www.gordonstate.edu/departments/computerservices/securitytutorial.asp</u></a></p>
<h4>Tutorial 7: Software at Gordon</h4>
<p>Gordon State College has a licensing agreement for eligible Microsoft products on all Gordon owned computers. As part of this agreement, faculty can install one copy of the Microsoft Office Suite on a personally owned computer.</p>
<p>Some other software available to faculty include but is not limited to..</p>
<ul>
<li>SAS (limited licenses)</li>
<li>SPSS (limited licenses)</li>
<li>Respondus for D2L</li>
</ul>
<p><em>NOTE: Microsoft Office, Expression Web, and Respondus are the only software licensed for a home PC / Laptop installation.</em></p>
<p>Please contact the Computer Services Department if you have any questions about software licensing. Licensing agreements can change from year to year. Ask your faculty mentor about other possible software that you may need as well.<a href="http://www.gordonstate.edu/media/tutorials/PowerPoint.html" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><u></u></a></p>
<h4>Tutorial 8: Access your files from off-campus</h4>
<p>You can access several resources (network drives) from off-campus by using FTP (File Transfer Protocol). Any computer with an Internet connection will be able to use this service. You will need to have an FTP client installed on your computer that supports FTPS (FTP Over SSL). This will allow you to download and upload files from our Gordon Servers from home (or any location).</p>
<p>The link below provides instructions for two different FTP clients that we recommend and that are both freely available on the web.</p>
<p><a href="../../departments/computer-services/ssl-encrypted-ftp-client-instructions-accessing-resources-from-home/index.html"><u>http://www.gordonstate.edu/departments/computerservices/ftp_over_ssl.asp</u></a></p>
<p>The folders accessible via FTPS from off-campus are...</p>
<ul>
<li>Class Home Folders (N:\)</li>
<li>Class Web Sites (Q:\)</li>
<li>Faculty Home Folders (H:\)</li>
<li>Faculty/PT Faculty Web Sites (S:\)</li>
<li>Staff Home Folders (H:\)</li>
<li>Student Home Folders (H:\)</li>
<li>Temp Shared Folder (N:\)</li>
