Instructors,
Please use the checklist below to make sure your class is successful with its information technology needs. For assistance with any of these resources, please contact us at ews@illinois.edu or (217) 333-1313. Have a great semester!
1. Designate your course staff at https://my.engr.illinois.edu/classtools/ (under “Edit staff”)
- Use our self-service web tool to identify TAs and co-instructors. Enabling course staff here grants them access to all Engineering IT class administration functions (course file space, web hosting, adjusting class groups, etc.)
- For help and more information on using Class Tools, see here: https://go.illinois.edu/ews-instructor-tools.
2. Review Recommended Teaching Resources and Tools
3. Confirm your EWS lab reservations are scheduled - please note our computer labs are limited to 15 - 30% of their normal capacity due to COVID-19
- If your course uses EWS labs for instruction, please confirm these reservations are present on our calendars. Be sure to check for recurring or one-time events.
