As a graduate student, you have access to a wide range of technological tools. So where do you begin? That’s where the “starter kit” comes in – it will point you to some common tools that you may be using during your time at IU Indianapolis (IUI).

To explore more technology tools that you could use, check out UITS’ Getting Started Guide For Students.

Software

Indiana University provides different software options you can use for free as a student.

IUware allows you to download software programs such as Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat, and more. Log in with your IUI Network ID and passphrase to see what is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

IUanyWare is a virtual software portal that makes many applications available to IUI students, faculty, and staff. This is valuable if your computer isn’t hefty enough to run the programs you need for your courses, or if you have a Mac and the software you need to run is PC only (or vice versa). Learn how to set up and use IUanyWare today.

Cloud storage

Cloud storage options at IUI include many ways for you to have on-the-go access to your files from campus computers and apps.

You can link your personal Dropbox and OneDrive accounts to integrate them seamlessly into your IUanyWare desktop by configuring your cloud storage preferences.

Google at IU is an additional way for students, faculty, and staff to collaborate using Google Docs, Drive, Sites, Sheets, and many more Google apps.

Virtual meeting spaces

Zoom@IU is a video conference tool that allows you to meet with your teachers and classmates in a virtual space. You can create a free basic virtual meeting Zoom account by signing in with your IUI username and passphrase. For more on Zoom, see the IU Knowledge Base.
