Apple iOS14 Release Information

Apple released the iOS14 update, with many new features for iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iWatch). There has been a lot of confusion about one of the features as they haven’t advertised it well. A new default feature in iOS14 uses a private address when you join a Wi-Fi network. You would have a different private address for each Wi-Fi network that you would connect to. This is an important safety feature especially on public Wi-Fi networks.

We were under the impression that this private address would change every 24 hours, ultimately causing you to have to re-register on Widener’s network . After a full week of testing and working with technical support, we were able to determine that this feature will function on Widener’s Campus Wi-Fi.

The only change with this feature being ENABLED would be that you now have to register your device on each network. This would mostly affect the student population who travel from the residence halls (“wu-secure-resnet”) to the academic buildings (“wu-secure”).

You have the ability to disable this feature. Follow the directions below:

Turn private address off or on for a network

You can stop or resume using a private address with any network. For better privacy, leave the setting on for all networks that support it.

iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Open the Settings app, then tap Wi-Fi.
Tap the information button next to a network.
Tap Private Address. If your device joined the network without using a private address, a privacy warning explains why.
2. Uncheck the Private Address.

Apple Watch

Open the Settings app, then tap Wi-Fi.
Tap the name of the network you joined. If you haven’t joined the network yet, swipe left on its name and tap more .
Tap Private Address.
2. Uncheck the Private Address.

Wired & Wireless – Device Registration

Get connected to Widener’s network. For security reasons, Widener University has implemented a solution to protect your electronic devices from other devices that might not be secure. Every device you connect to the Wireless Network or Residence Hall Wired Network must be registered for compliance purposes.

Steps to register your device

Connect to the wireless SSID “wudorm” or “widener”, if you choose to connect via Ethernet cable you will need to put in a port request. (http://portrequest.widener.edu)
Open your internet browser and try to go to a website such as yahoo.com.
- You will be redirected to the Widener Registration site
- If you are not automatically redirected go to http://rr.widener.edu/registration
Follow the on screen instructions to register your device.

Device Registration Requirement Information:

All Microsoft Windows based Desktops and Laptops (Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10) are required to have up to date operating system patches (Windows Updates) and an up to date Anti-Virus program (free or subscription) not provided from the University. A persistent agent is required to be downloaded and installed in order to stay in compliance on the network. It will prompt you for your Widener Login Username and password, then it will scan for your operating system patches and verify an up to date Anti-Virus.
Phones & Apple Products (MacBook, iMac, iPad, iPhone), Non-Windows Tablets, eReaders will only require your Widener Login username and password to register on the network.
Most Gaming Devices (PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo products), Smart TV’s, and Streaming Devices (Apple TV, Amazon Firestick/TV, Echo, Roku) will be automatically registered on the network. Please connect them via ethernet cable or on the wireless SSID “WUDorm” and they will take up to 15 minutes to move from the registration network to the production network. If you still have issues connecting after patiently waiting, please reboot your device and see if it properly connects. If it still does not connect, please locate your MAC address for your device and open a support ticket by contacting the ITS HelpDesk at 610-499-1047 OR Submit a support ticket at http://QUICKticket.widener.edu

*PLEASE NOTE: Wireless printing in the residence halls is allowed, but we recommend securing them with a passcode to print (see your printer manufacturers’ instructions to setup). Otherwise; connect your printer via usb cable. CHROMECAST is designed to work in a home environment and given the size and complexity of our network, it will NOT work on Widener’s Network. WE DO NOT ALLOW PERSONAL WIRELESS ROUTERS ON WIDENER’S NETWORK. Not all SMART PLUGS AND LIGHTS are designed for enterprise network environments; therefore they may not work properly on our network. But we will work with you to get these devices securely on the network if possible.

Reporting Wireless Issues of registered devices:

We are always looking to improve our wireless network and with your help, we can make it better. In order to fix the issue, we need to know about it. Now you can quickly report the issue to us.

By going to My.Widener.edu and searching WiFi, you will find the link to FixMyWiFi.widener.edu where you can submit a ticket reporting the issue directly to the group that manages this environment. We want to make your wireless experience an enjoyable one, not a stressful one.

*For additional assistance, please visit the Student Technology Support Center. The Student Technology Support Center (STSC) is a walk-in support center where students can go for assistance with their computers and hand-held devices. The STSC is now located on the main floor of the Wolfgram Memorial Library on the Chester Campus. You may also visit the ITS HelpDesk located on the 2^nd floor of Academic Center North (ACN) Monday through Friday 8am to 5pm excluding holidays.

Video Captioning Service- Now Available!

Our goal is a simple yet important one: Make instructional video content more accessible. A collaboration of TLT, Library, and Disability Services is working on this process for proposal submission, review, and selection. Limited funding for video captioning and transcription services has been granted for the upcoming academic year, so get your proposals ready!

Things you need to know:

The proposals are semester based. To be considered for 19/Fall courses, you will need to submit a proposal by August 8, 2019. Mid-semester proposal will be considered if funding permits.
Based on funding limitations, we cannot guarantee all proposals will be accepted. Priorities will be based on the content frequency (required over several semesters or across multiple courses), the number of students in the course(s), the quality of the audio/video (compliance with best practices of instructional video), etc. For more details, please see the scoring rubric.
Two-step review: Once proposals are accepted to move on to the next steps, faculty members will be provided a Cielo24 account along with steps and a checklist for pre-upload review. At that point, faculty will be able to upload their proposed video to the platform for final review (The video uploads will be in a queue for our authorization, on the Cielo24 platform).

Additional Considerations:

Our team will also provide support for faculty to better apply instructional videos in their teaching. For example,
- TLT office will provide consultation on video editing and best video practices and tools.
- Wolfgram Memorial Library will provide information about copyright, fair use, and existing alternate content that may be more recent or otherwise helpful, etc.

Here is the first step – submit your proposal through this link.

Also, please visit the Instructional Media and Video course on Canvas for more information on best practices, multimedia tools, and copyright and fair use practices.

Say Hello to LinkedIn Learning!

On December 18th, Lynda.com will become LinkedIn Learning

We’re excited to let you know that we’ll be upgrading one of your learning and development benefits, Lynda.com, to LinkedIn Learning. LinkedIn Learning has the same great content as Lynda.com, and it will provide a more personalized experience.

Accounts will be upgraded on Tuesday, December 18th, at which time you will no longer be able to access Lynda.com. But don’t worry, all your learning activity and history will be seamlessly transferred to LinkedIn Learning. After the upgrade is completed (we expect it to take up to ~18 hours), you’ll receive an email to activate your LinkedIn Learning account.

More information on the upgraded LinkedIn Learning environment is available here. Answers to questions like “What if I don’t have a LinkedIn account?”, “Do I need to connect my LinkedIn profile?”, and “Will my administrator have access to view my LinkedIn activity on my personal account?” can be found in the LinkedIn Learning FAQs.

We look forward to the upgrade and seeing how LinkedIn Learning helps you continue your growth and success!

Migration of File and Network Print Services FAQ

Over the next year, ITS will discontinue the personal F/H/I-drive as well as the departmental J/L-drives for some clients. In addition, Novell GroupWise Messenger, MyFiles.widener.edu, and our current network printer software will be replaced. This FAQ should help to answer some of your questions.

Q: Do I need to contact ITS to move our department drives J/L?

A: Prior to the migration of drives (J/L), an ITS staff member will contact each department to schedule an initial meeting. During the meeting, they will review the current file structure of the drives to troubleshoot any issues that might arise prior to moving data to OneDrive. They will also explain the sequence of events that will happen during the migration.

Q: Why does the F(H/I/J)-drive have to go away?

A: The F-drive and our current print sharing services are based on a very old network directory called Novell. At this point, Novell is almost extinct. We have its replacement—Microsoft Active Directory—in place, which already supports our email system, OneDrive, and many other services. It no longer makes sense to pay the cost of running redundant services.

Q: What is Active Directory?

A: Active Directory (AD) is software developed by Microsoft that provides centralized network, file and print services, as well as identity management.

Q: Will it affect the way I do things today?

A: Yes. You will see a change in the way you access and share university data. You may also notice slight differences in the screens you see when you print.

Migration:

Q: Who will be migrated to Active Directory?

A: Everyone is already in Active Directory, but some of their services still live on the older file and print sharing platforms. ITS will coordinate initial meetings with select departments, on a schedule, in their move to AD. During this meeting, a migration plan for each department will be developed. Part of this plan involves joining your PC, if you use one, to the domain.

Q: How will this migration affect me as a Mac user?

A: The migration will not affect Mac users.

Q: What do I have to do for this prior to the migration?

A: Clients will need to clean up and move files and folders from their F-drive (Chester), H-Drive (Harrisburg), and I-Drive (Delaware) to their Widener OneDrive.

Q: What is the time frame for this Project?

A: We will start meeting with departments in October 2018, and we expect to have the migration complete by the Summer of 2019.

Q: How long will the migration take?

A: The process will take between 25 to 45 minutes.

Q: Do I have to be available during the migration?

A: Yes.

Access:

Q: I log in from home using VPN, will that change?

A: No, you will not see any differences when logging into the VPN.

Q: Will my login ID and password change?

A: No, your login ID and password will remain the same.

GroupWise:

Q: I use Novell GroupWise Messenger to connect with my colleagues during the day, will I still be able to use GroupWise?

A: No, this transition will retire GroupWise (Novell Messenger). Within the Office 365 suite is a chat application called Microsoft Teams, this will replace the GroupWise system.

Files:

Q: What happens to my OneDrive synced files after my computer is migrated to Active Directory?

A: The next time you log into OneDrive and the system authenticates you, your files will resync to your profile.

Q. Is there a size limit on a single file in OneDrive?

A: Yes, Microsoft is currently limiting single file size to 10 gigabytes.

Q: Will I be able to set up folder sharing?

A: Yes, we have instructions on how you can do this or you can put in a quick ticket to have our HelpDesk assist you. As we meet with each department, ITS will gather this information and help set these shares up with you during the migration.

Q: How can I access my Widener OneDrive files?

A: You will be able to access the data on devices that can access the internet or that have the OneDrive App available.

Q: Will I still be able to use myfiles.widener.edu?

A: No, your myfiles.widener.edu will no longer be available after Jan 1, 2019. It will be replaced with OneDrive.

Q: Will my department’s J-Drive (Chester), L-Drive (Harrisburg), L-Drive (Delaware) still be accessible?

A: No, the department data will be moved and will reside in OneDrive. ITS will work with each department to move the data.

Q: Will my department OneDrive data be backed up?

A: We will work with each department to communicate what data is backed up to the cloud during the migration phase, but we currently plan to back up data moved from each department’s J-Drive (Chester), L-Drive (Harrisburg), L-Drive (Delaware).

Q: What will happen to my data on the F-drive (Chester), H-Drive (Harrisburg), and I-Drive (Delaware)?

A: The data located on the drives in question will need to be moved to your Widener OneDrive on Office 365, which offers up 1 terabyte of storage and can be accessed from anywhere.

Q: How do I move the contents of my F-drive (Chester), H-Drive (Harrisburg), and I-Drive (Delaware) to my Widener provided OneDrive?

A: Upload your files to OneDrive or you can put in a quick ticket for the HelpDesk to assist you.

Printing:

Q: Will I still have access to my printers after the migration?

A: Your printers should automatically be installed on the first login after migration. This will be something that the ITS member will check before they leave your desk.

macOS High Sierra Announcement

Apple released macOS High Sierra (10.13) on Monday, September 25th, 2017. As with most new OS releases, we strongly recommend that you wait and not upgrade your University owned Mac.

Apple released macOS High Sierra (10.13) on Monday, September 25th, 2017. As with most new OS releases, we strongly recommend that you wait and not upgrade your University owned Mac. Information Technology Services cannot yet support High Sierra on University owned Macs until it has been sufficiently tested. Additionally, waiting until the first set of High Sierra updates are released allows Apple to fix initial stability problems and bugs before the OS even makes it to your machine.

Our currently deployed Macs cannot even benefit from the most significant changes in High Sierra – the new Apple file system (AFS). The enhanced speed, performance, security and reliability that High Sierra advertises is dependent on the new file system, which Apple does not support on our Mac hardware. In addition to not being able to realize the biggest benefits of the upgrade, the process itself could cause significant issues, making a complete system backup an absolute necessity. Furthermore, ITS is already aware of a number of issues with network printing and older software programs, including incompatibility with all versions of Microsoft Office released before 2016. Software compatibility issues resulting from this upgrade are more complex than a basic update can fix. These compatibility issues are similar to those experienced when Apple moved to Intel processors and Power PC programs no longer worked. All of this leads us to our recommendation that you wait and not upgrade at this time.

One of the best updates – Safari’s ability to mute autoplayed videos – doesn’t even require High Sierra. The new “Autoplay Blocking” is part of Safari 11, which is available in the App Store for systems running Sierra (10.12) or El Capitan (10.11).

Once we are confident that High Sierra will work well in our environment, ITS staff will be happy to assist with a safe and coherent upgrade process for our faculty and staff.
