HumTech is here to help with moving Humanities finals and instruction online as a result of COVID-19, and we are coordinating with all other support teams on campus.
Here is a targeted list of options for getting help. When in doubt, email ritc@humnet.ucla.edu.
Loaner Equipment
There is still some loaner equipment available from UCLA. For those who still need a device, you should complete the library’s online form. Please note that to complete this form, you must create an account in the library ticketing system.

The pick-up location for equipment is the loading dock at Powell; a drive-up option will be available.
Consultation and training resources
ritc@humnet.ucla.edu or 310-825-4864. For any request or question related to moving your finals and/or spring classes online. Monitored by a team of seven HumTech experts in tools like Bruin Learn, Zoom, Respondus, Kaltura (for videos), etc. Request appointments for consultation here, too!
https://ucla.zoom.us/j/865893942. 9am-4pm M-F. Dedicated Humanities remote support channel for any question or consultation with our instructional team. Requires audio capability; video is nice but entirely optional. (Note: Zoom works well on mobile devices, which have audio built in!)
Schedule a department training! We have already visited several faculty/department meetings to do Zoom and CCLE training. Email ritc@humnet.ucla.edu to request yours. Provide desired dates/times and what you’d like us to cover. We’ll do our best to be there!
