I&P Operations during COVID-19

Information & Planning is maintaining operations while transitioning as many staff to remote work as possible.  We know that our division’s continued operation is essential in supporting students, staff, and faculty in this new way of working.  Read on for what we are doing. Follow us on Twitter @WoosterITAlerts and @woosteredtech for updates.

Morgan 4th will have very limited staffing  Monday – Friday 8:30 AM- 5:00 PM EDT, but to maintain social distancing, our doors and elevator stop will be locked, as will Morgan Hall. We have made provisions for drop off and pick up of equipment (see below).

While all of us may not be here physically, we will be connected via email and Microsoft Teams. Do not hesitate to contact us.

The HelpDesk

  • will be staffed 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM EDT Monday – Friday. Phone (330-287-4357) and email assistance (helpdesk@wooster.edu) will continue. We are adding a “chat” feature and will let everyone know when it is available and how to use it.
  • will have extended phone support hours, from 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM EDT Monday – Friday to assist students’ transition to remote learning beginning Tuesday, March 24 through Tuesday, March 31 (we will assess continuation based on numbers of calls received)

Educational Technology

  • All staff are working remotely (email a staff member directly or initiate a Teams chat)
  • The Digital Media Bar will not be staffed during this time. For assistance, you may schedule consultation time with a Digital Media Assistant (http://tiny.cc/EdTechSTABooking)

Information & Planning

  • We’ll be here and online. It is business as (un)unusual.
