Want a quick checklist to help you get started with your technology for classes?
Through the resources in this module, you will be able to connect with University IT support, discover information technology training and digital tools for learning, and begin setting up your IU Indianapolis accounts.
Your Technology starter kit
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.
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.
