ITS Update
Marc Pastor gave a brief overview of the newly remodeled AH-1120, now called the Learning Research Center. It is set up for collaborative learning with moveable furniture and white boards, LCD panels, wireless connectivity to the LCD panels in a private net that allows iPads to mirror the LCD panels, a short depth projector and a full Smartboard behind the Instructor's table. ITS is currently piloting the room - everything is off-line for now. The room will be officially on-line with classes in the Fall. Carol Tohsaku should be contacted for room reservations.
ITS has purchased a one year subscription to Atomic Learning. The MWSSLS attendees were provided a temporary username and password to access the tutorials. Eventually everyone can have their own username/password. Note: the Gmail training offered here is not focused on the Enterprise version that SDSU is using, so difference may be noticed. Carol Tohsaku is the point of contact for Atomic Learning.

Meeting Maker is shutting down on February 28th. It was mentioned that there is a way to archive Meeting Maker calendars and import Meeting Maker data to Google Calendar.

Student Health Services is now a HIPAA entity, which means if there is a breach in security at SHS, SDSU would be required to notify the Office of Civil Rights, an agency of the Department of Public Health. Depending on the issue, they could make a visit to campus and impose heavy fines. Also there are new breach notification laws with a January 1st start date that will require SDSU to notify the State Attorney General.
