Start the Semester Strong with Classroom and Teaching Resources from MSU IT

Posted by

As you prepare for the semester, a few simple steps can help you ensure a smooth experience for you and your students on the first day of class.

Before Classes Begin

  • Preview your classroom – use 25Live to virtually tour most of your classrooms, review available technology, and confirm the space meets your teaching needs.
  • Test classroom technology – whenever possible, use the classroom desktop computer rather than a personal laptop. It is configured for the room’s technology and provides the best compatibility with installed equipment.
  • Request assistance ahead of time – need help preparing your classroom technology? Schedule classroom support before classes begin.

Need Help During Class?

If you encounter a technology issue while teaching:

  • Select the IT Help Button on the classroom computer, or
  • Scan the QR code posted on the technology cart, or
  • Call 517-432-6200

The IT Help Button and QR code options automatically generate a support ticket and provide the classroom location, helping technicians respond as quickly as possible. Response by a technician is not always available, and some issues can only be resolved when the room is not occupied, so always have a backup teaching plan ready to go to keep your class on track.

Teaching and Learning Resources

MSU IT’s Educational Technology team provides support for in-person, online, and hybrid instruction. Whether you’re teaching your first course at MSU or looking to enhance an existing course, resources are available to help you succeed.

Thank you for all you do to support student success. We look forward to partnering with you throughout the semester.
