Computing Resources and Help

Will I be given a college email address or have access to other computer resources?

Yes to both of these. When you are hired, the division assistant will begin this process.  Most faculty utilize a college email account, use SIS to get class rosters and record grades, and Blackboard, which is used to provide course materials, post grades and announcements, and administer assessments to students in your classes. These resources will be explained in much greater detail at the Adjunct Orientation Session offered at the beginning of the fall and spring semester each year.  Additionally, individual classes on various computer topics are held throughout the year.

How do I find out what my EMPLID (employee ID) is?

Either call your Academic Dean’s administrative assistant or contact the ICS Help Desk at 453-2327.

What if I would like help using instructional technology in my classes?

BRCC has an instructional technologist who can assist you with numerous aspects of instructional technology, including web sites and Blackboard content.  Simply contact Greg Cook at ext 2368 or by email at cookg@brcc.edu.

What computer resources are available in the presentation classrooms?

All classrooms at the Weyers Cave campus and several at AMC and Harrisonburg contain, at a minimum, a networked computer and LCD projector.  Many of the rooms also have VCR/DVDs, document cameras, and other audio visual equipment.  Technical support of the rooms is provided by the audio visual staff, Doris Cline and Ida Griffin, in room E103 or ext. 2275 or ext. 2334.

How can I store documents on the BRCC server?

BRCC has an academic server (Called K: Drive) where you can store documents that you would like students to access.  This public directory is not secure since anyone can access the documents you place in that folder.  Using Blackboard course management software is an alternate, more secure method to provide your students with access to documents.  We’ll have training sessions on how to use Blackboard at both the fall and spring adjunct orientation.
