Announcements

Four tools administered by the UITS eLearning Services team will be retired over the next several months. Namecoach, VoiceThread, Examity, and Jamboard customers who are directly impacted have already been notified. See additional tool information at above link. Please contact instech@iu.edu if you have specific questions or concerns.

Although Knowledge Base URLs from the legacy system will redirect properly for the next year to the Knowledge Base in ServiceNow, full redirect mappings are available in a shared KB URL redirect mappings folder which you can reference if you need to update websites or other resources. If a legacy URL has no redirect, that particular article was archived sometime before the transition. Archived articles are no longer available in the new KB, but the KM team can access them if needed.
