5.Mon, 4/2/07 6:14 PMjust a general tutorial cd sent out with a "tour" is sufficient in my opinion

10.Mon, 4/2/07 6:32 PMThings other than what I normally use (Blackboard, Financial info, Registration, Class look-up)
11.Mon, 4/2/07 6:33 PMI'm pretty good at figuring things out for myself by playing around with different programs, but I'm sure there might be *something* that I don't know and could use. I obviously don't know *everything*.
12.Mon, 4/2/07 6:33 PMIf the training was my freshman year of college it would have been extremely helpful, but i have already learned to use it on my own.
13.Mon, 4/2/07 6:40 PMBlackboard

18.Mon, 4/2/07 6:50 PMhow to personally format it
19.Mon, 4/2/07 6:52 PMI think it would be nice to know exactly what all myusi is capable of helping us with. I'm going into my junior year and I'm still finding things I didn't realize I could access through there.
20.Mon, 4/2/07 6:54 PMDARS web
21.Mon, 4/2/07 6:56 PMIn depth training on email, grades, registration, etc.
22.Mon, 4/2/07 7:11 PMHelp or frequently asked question should be more explaintory.
23.Mon, 4/2/07 7:11 PMFor freshmen I feel it would be quit a help. I am a transfer student from IUPUI and MYUSI was very confusing at first. It would have been very helpful if I had someone properly train me in one short session.
24.Mon, 4/2/07 7:26 PMit's great
25.Mon, 4/2/07 7:34 PMEverything available on MyUSI.
26.Mon, 4/2/07 7:58 PMI struggle to get access from my home computer. MYUSI allows me to log on for a second but then kicks me off--even after I disabled the pop-up blocker.
27.Mon, 4/2/07 7:59 PMI feel that I know almost all there is to know about MYUSI, just from exploring myself; however, I feel that there could possibly be a few extra things that I could learn through training.
28.Mon, 4/2/07 8:03 PMI am proficient with accessing MYUSI.
29.Mon, 4/2/07 8:11 PMgrades and signing up for classes
30.Mon, 4/2/07 8:15 PMIt would be helpful becuase I do not understand what all is on myusi and what things I am missing out on using. I would not pay to learn more about it but if it were free I would go.
31.Mon, 4/2/07 8:23 PMblackboard as listed on previous page response. It would be great for the students to be able to create an online calendar/student organizer.
32.Mon, 4/2/07 8:24 PMHow to use things such as class registration, dropping classes, looking at your financial standing, and all of those aspects that are under the students info.
33.Mon, 4/2/07 8:37 PMHow to remove old classes from Blackboard or be given a quick delete button. Also knowledge of extra items such as digital dropbox and other items some teachers tend to use to cut back on carrying so many papers back and forth to class. Answer to the next question is: This is available? N/A--have not contacted the Computer Help Desk
34.Mon, 4/2/07 8:37 PMIt is pretty self explanitory so I don't think much training is needed.
35.Mon, 4/2/07 8:40 PMWhat MyUSI has to offer
36.Mon, 4/2/07 8:54 PMWith training, I would probably become aware of information that I did not knjow was available.
37.Mon, 4/2/07 9:16 PMmore about the campus construction
38.Mon, 4/2/07 9:16 PMhow to use the communication/discussion options
39.Mon, 4/2/07 9:20 PMAll the uses of it....
40.Mon, 4/2/07 9:41 PMJust all the different areas myusi can give me access to. I just don't feel i completely know what all it has to offer me.
41.Mon, 4/2/07 9:53 PMTraining on the little things in blackboard like groups and dicussion boards. The rest I had to already learn on my own.
42.Mon, 4/2/07 9:57 PMIt would be helpful to first time students at USI so they can learn all the resources available to them on the site.
43.Mon, 4/2/07 10:27 PMI would have like to lean more when I was first entering my freshman year. I feel comfortable with MYUSI now.
44.Mon, 4/2/07 10:37 PMblackboard
45.Mon, 4/2/07 10:40 PMThe first time I ever used MYUSI, I was definately lost. I didn't know how to get there and I didn't know how to access my email. Just maybe a one day course where you show all the features and aspects of MYUSI would be helpful. Or if you put like some part of that in the Orentation for freshmen.
46.Mon, 4/2/07 10:41 PMThe only thing I know how to use is my email and Blackboard
47.Mon, 4/2/07 10:48 PMSome of the links are hidden and it is extremely hard to contect with a particular link. In other words, the links are continously chained.
48.Mon, 4/2/07 10:59 PMMore on Rice Library access.
49.Mon, 4/2/07 11:06 PMMore about Breeze and chat More about databases

52.Mon, 4/2/07 11:49 PMnavigation
53.Tue, 4/3/07 12:12 AMI'd like to learn more about the process of registering for classes and how to view information, such as financial status, grades, and tax information for financial aid.
54.Tue, 4/3/07 12:52 AMthe features outside of email, sometimes the directions for the self-service, etc. are not very clear.
55.Tue, 4/3/07 12:52 AMI do not need training only because I have already been using MYUSI for a couple years, and I know how to use it efficiently.
56.Tue, 4/3/07 12:55 AMMy USI is only the page we can work on our assignments.if we fully dont understand or cant operate MYUSI than there is lot we lose and that could result in our falling grades.There are lot of other facilities which we dont even look at it and therefore every single thing of myusi has to be understood very well by the students.
57.Tue, 4/3/07 1:01 AMJust a basic description of the buttons such as finding out the housing, and the library how that works.
58.Tue, 4/3/07 1:01 AMhow to look up email addresses/contact info, how to summit things through blackboard, etc
59.Tue, 4/3/07 1:52 AMTell exactly how to sign up, where to find grades, and just other benefits
60.Tue, 4/3/07 2:00 AMI was a transfer student and i was never told about blackboard. If it werent for friends then i would have had no idea how to do my online class.
61.Tue, 4/3/07 2:22 AMI believe that the most valuable aspect to learn on the MYUSI website would be Blackboard.
62.Tue, 4/3/07 3:19 AMlooking up records
63.Tue, 4/3/07 3:47 AMhow to look at your email through microsoft outlook
64.Tue, 4/3/07 4:19 AMThe transcript access.
65.Tue, 4/3/07 6:46 AMI really was not aware of all the capabilities of MYUSI. I use it for email and blackboard primarily and before my freshman year I joined some posting groups I forget what they were called to meet people since I did not know anyone coming down here. I dont think it's overly complicated to use, so training isnt neccessarily useful for that but more for ways to use it.
66.Tue, 4/3/07 12:19 PMSoon will be graduating. Have what I need.
67.Tue, 4/3/07 12:54 PMWhen I first started using it I had many questions that I soon figured out myself. But how to access everything and maybe an online tour would have been great.
68.Tue, 4/3/07 3:15 PMBlackboard
69.Tue, 4/3/07 3:18 PMI just feel like maybe I'm not aware of all things I can access through MyUSI
70.Tue, 4/3/07 3:29 PMI managed to work my way through it and learn from the help which was sufficient for me. But I do see where someone who has not used the computer as much as I might have difficulty.
71.Tue, 4/3/07 4:17 PMWho to contact when you have problems.
72.Tue, 4/3/07 4:39 PMI would feel the training for blackboard would be most helpfull.
73.Tue, 4/3/07 4:58 PMI have learned most of what I know from friends and others who have taken online courses, as well as trial and error. Most instructors give a quick lesson before the course begins. I'm sure there are things that I can learn yet.
74.Tue, 4/3/07 6:29 PMcreating online groups, posting to online groups, sending out emails to the whole campus (as a group leader), etc.
75.Tue, 4/3/07 6:36 PMi hear many student asking questions about myusi. if we were to be trained, this would eliminate questions
76.Tue, 4/3/07 7:05 PMI use my usi all the time, but I am sure that there are many other things I can do, but just don't know that I can
77.Tue, 4/3/07 7:23 PMTo find out information about classes and majors.
78.Tue, 4/3/07 7:29 PMthe other tabs at the top... such as campus life or web life.

80.Tue, 4/3/07 9:33 PMHow to assess info about the library and how to pay bills and request loans.
81.Tue, 4/3/07 9:41 PMNavigation. This site is poorly constucted with links that are not clearly marked and fairly obscure.
82.Tue, 4/3/07 10:50 PMIt would help me be better prepared for my distance ed classes.
83.Wed, 4/4/07 1:07 AMlearning how to access different areas of my usi such as looking up teacher's email addresses, registering for classes, etc.
84.Wed, 4/4/07 1:22 AMemail - using the address book and retaining addresses
85.Wed, 4/4/07 2:50 AMMaking a web-site, research, etc...
86.Wed, 4/4/07 6:46 AMit would just help by allowing students to obtain the knowledge of how to access grades, personal finances, being able to enroll for classes on you own and so much more. Basicaly i think it would be helpful so you can know what all the My USI sights have to offer and what type of questions can be answered feom it.
87.Wed, 4/4/07 1:34 PMaccess to bulletin information, searching for department forms and information and locating people working on campus
88.Wed, 4/4/07 5:36 PMmainly just when they change things around like features such as the self-help tab
89.Wed, 4/4/07 5:47 PMResearching thru Rice Library not really difficult but sometimes lengthy searches.
90.Wed, 4/4/07 9:53 PMDuring Orientation, the AMIGOs help to teach how to register everything online; however, it may be beneficial to retrain. Also, when I came through, I was told to get on MY USI, and play around. They said that you couldn't really hit anything that you could mess up. That was the best advice I was given. I got on, played around, and figured everything out.
91.Wed, 4/4/07 10:47 PMthe most effective ways to utilize the site
92.Thu, 4/5/07 1:06 AMi figured out how to access blackboard so i could get the necessary points to pass the class by being able to take the quizzes and pre-labs. i have the feeling my usi offers more but i don't really know what to ask for.
93.Thu, 4/5/07 4:01 AMHow to access and navigate myusi and blackboard, especially the classes on blackboard the first time using myusi.
94.Thu, 4/5/07 4:31 AMIt could have been helpful when it was taught at the beginning of the course. Now I am learning to navigate the system and getting a little better but I still have a lot to learn.Learning is somewhat a slow process but hopefully I will gain mastery in no time.It is always good to think positive.
95.Thu, 4/5/07 5:15 AMBlackboard login and useage

113.Mon, 4/9/07 6:25 PMI would be helpful to know how to navigate for financial aid and holds. Also how to register gave me issues this semester.
114.Mon, 4/9/07 6:30 PMDARS
115.Mon, 4/9/07 7:06 PMonly if my professors were trained also so that they would use it to its full potential more.
116.Mon, 4/9/07 7:24 PMI pretty much have figured out MyUSI on my own. However, if there was a formal sort of training, it would have been faster and easier to learn about.
117.Mon, 4/9/07 7:33 PMIt would be nice if each tab was explained and how to access grades, transcripts, and registration for classes. There are several steps that one has to take to get to these places and it took me a while to figure it out on my own.
118.Mon, 4/9/07 7:43 PMIt would help to show how you can access the different colleges for different majors.
119.Mon, 4/9/07 9:09 PMI feel pretty comfortable on it just because I use it often and even play around with it for myself but there is always something I may have missed out on.
120.Mon, 4/9/07 10:24 PMIt just needs to be taught on the beginning. It is confusing if you have never taken an online class before. Discussion board has changed and I feel is more difficust than when I started a year ago.
121.Mon, 4/9/07 10:41 PMI have pretty much used it for 3 years now, so i don't need the training, but incoming freshmen or transfers would find it very beneficial

125.Tue, 4/10/07 1:35 AMThere may be items on myusi that I am not aware of.
126.Tue, 4/10/07 4:11 AMI would like to know all of the different services other than the basics such as email and basic blackboard use, that my usi offers.

139.Sat, 4/14/07 6:51 PMWhen I started I would have been very greatfull to have been able to attend a class to learn the basics. I am an adult returning to school and although I had computer use it was in the financial world. It was a bit overwhelming to begin classes, and tring to figure out how to use everthing at one time. With my classes the My USI Blackboard was a must as that is where we had to get all our sylibus, schedule of assignment,lecture notes, etc.
