Help Moving Humanities Instruction Online

Open

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.

Below is a targeted list of options for getting help. When in doubt, email ritc@humnet.ucla.edu.

Loaner Equipment

There are a limited number of loaner equipment available from UCLA. For those who still need a device, you should complete the library’s online form. Please note that in order 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

• Email ritc@humnet.ucla.edu for any requests or questions related to moving your finals and/or spring classes online. This is a team of seven HumTech experts in tools like Bruin Learn, Zoom, Respondus, and Kaltura (for videos). You may request appointments for consultation.

• https://ucla.zoom.us/j/865893942 during the hours of 9am-4pm MTThF and 9am-1pm W. This is a dedicated Humanities remote support channel for any questions or consultations to help with instructional technology.

• Schedule a department training! We have already visited several faculty/department meetings to provide Zoom and CCLE training. Email ritc@humnet.ucla.edu to request yours. Provide desired dates and times as well as what you’d like us to cover. We’ll do our best to be there!
