Here is a brief review of what was covered during your initial iPad orientation

Apple Distinguished School

ICOM is proud to be recognized as an Apple Distinguished School for our innovative use of technology to enhance the learning, teaching, and school environment.

ICOM IT Ambassadors

IT Ambassadors are the direct link between students and IT. Each class has representatives that meet regularly with IT to help improve the overall experience for students. The responsibilities include advising on student technology issues, application transitions, and current IT projects. If you are interested in participating in this program, send an email to help@icom.edu.

iPad Setup

When setting up your iPad for the first time, here are a few things you should know

1. At the Remote Management screen, sign in with your ICOM email and password
2. We recommend setting up an alpha-numeric passcode
3. Turn on Location Services. This will help locate your iPad if it ever becomes lost.

Apple Account

You do not need an Apple Account to use your iPad at ICOM. If you would like to create or use a personal Apple Account so that you can sync with iCloud or download apps from the app store, you can do so. Doing this will not interfere with any of your ICOM resources.

iPad Acceptance Agreement

On your iPad you will find a WebClip that is labeled "iPad Agreement". Fill out and submit this form as soon as possible

Touch ID

In Setting > Touch ID & Passcode, you can set up Touch ID. We recommend this to speed up the authentication and MFA process

MyApps

You can use the MyApps WebClip to access important ICOM applications. Using the user icon in the upper right, you can switch to account settings where you can manage your password and authentication factors.

Panopto

Panopto is our lecture capture system where you will be able to rewatch recorded lectures. To access Panopto for the first time, you will need to click on the Panopto tile in MyApp to create your account. After that, you can use the Panopto app and sign in.

Robin

We use an application called Robin to manage group study room bookings. From this app, you will be able to see rooms that are available and book them directly. Please ensure that you are following the guidelines in the Group Study Rooms policy. https://policies.icom.edu/hc/en-us/articles/9916526598935-Group-Study-Rooms

TopHat

TopHat is our student response system. Use the WebClip with the orange top hat to set up your account initially. When setting up your account, use your full legal name and student ID from SONIS so that your grades can be associated correctly. When prompted for a Join Code, use 940367 for initial setup. You will receive a new Join Code for each course that uses TopHat

Webex

We use Webex for collaboration. This is how you will connect to hybrid lectures and virtual meeting. The Webex app is also used for messaging, either with groups or 1:1

Self-Service

The Self-Service app is like ICOM's private app store. You can choose to download optional applications. In the Productivity tab, you can find things like Microsoft Word and Notability. In the Book category, you can find the Anatomy Dissectors. Once you download one, it will show up in the Library section of the Books application.

Microsoft Office

You Office license allows you to download these applications directly to your iPad from Self-Service or download them to a personal device. To download on a personal device, login to office.com.

Notability

Most student like using Notability for note taking but you can use whatever application is most useful for you. The Notability you get from ICOM is a device license. If you would like to sync your notes to other devices, you will need to purchase an additional license from Notability. We recommend sync'ing Notability with Google Drive or an iCloud account so that you do not lose notes in case of an emergency or device replacement.

Printing

The printer in located in the workroom inside the library. You are allowed $25 worth of printing each semester. If you need more printing money, send an email to help@icom.edu or find someone in the IT office and we can add another $10 to your account.

When you use the printer the first time, you will need to associate your badge with your account. Follow the instructions posted on the wall by the printer to associate your badge.

HELP

If you need help at any time, you can search through out helpdesk articles for self-service resources at help.icom.edu. If you need to ask a specific question, you can send an email to help@icom.edu or come by the IT office for support.
