IT News for February 2010
IT
has announced a new student-to-student
forum, TechQuest, a technology forum
where University students can post
technology related questions, answer
each other's questions, or just discuss
a technology related topic. Students
can post questions, answer other
students' questions, elaborate on other
students' answers, and discuss
technology issues with each other.
Issues discussed so far have included
topics such as switching e-mail to
Google Apps @UDel.edu, setting up a
smart phone, using a wireless router,
logging into Sakai@UD, and upgrading or
using Windows 7.
