Information for Instructors
Classroom-related Software
ITS administers the installation of classroom-related software and performs scheduled maintenance during break times when the labs can be shut down.
Instructors who wish to install software for use in a lab must obtain an appropriate license agreement from the software vendor that explicitly allows installation of the software. The license agreement and a complete set of software including all installation instructions and a working backup copy must be delivered to the URI Library, LL2 at least two weeks prior to the scheduled use date. One week prior to use, the instructor must test the software. At the end of each semester, software is deleted without further notification unless the instructor has applied for an extension of the storage time.
PoliciesITS provides facilities management services for the Library Student Computing Facility and the Memorial Union Student Computing Facility which are funded by the 1996 State of Rhode Island Bond Referendum. These facilities provide open access to URI students, faculty, and staff. Please consult the Computer Lab Reservation and the Computer Facilities Rental policies for more information on reservable facilities.
Lab Assistants are present in each facility to provide security and give basic assistance in using the facilities. URI faculty, staff, and students may use the facilities. Machines are available on a first-come, first-served basis. When necessary, a waiting list is maintained by the Lab Assistant. When a waiting list exists, a machine may be used for no longer than 60 minutes. All users must provide their own media for data storage.
The Lab Assistant is not expected to teach users how to use the equipment or provide in-depth consultation on problems. If you require consultation, need hands-on instruction for a group, or have comments on the operation of the facilities, contact the ITS Help Desk at helpdesk@uri.edu.
Please cooperate in keeping the facilities neat and in order. Under no circumstances are smoking, drinking, or eating permitted.
