MyEEE
MyEEE, the opening Web page for course management for faculty has been given a new look, in response to client requests.
Instructors use the EEE system to post course materials and assignments, make resources available, provide assessments, and/or extend class communications and collaborative learning beyond the physical classroom. The system has grown in popularity and useful features since its beginnings in 1995. Recent tools such as Chat, Quiz, and Course Evaluations have now joined the virtual office interface. “EEE has grown to be so full-featured, that we suspected some of the course management tools were being overlooked,” says Max Garrick, lead programmer. The redesign brings essential information to the front, making MyEEE much more effective for instructors.
The layout uses a new multi-module design displaying classes, date, time, location, and prominent links such as Course Web site, and tool links. Account owners may opt to customize their page content or reposition the columns and layout of the modules. The EEE Web site can be found at:
http://eee.uci.edu/
The new MyEEE will be the default setting this spring, but if users are comfortable with the old look, they will be able to switch back to “classic view” until fall quarter 2005.

NACS’s service request form (SRF) is now available on line. It is intended as a replacement for the current paper-based form. To use the new form, please visit:
http://www.nacs.uci.edu/service-request
Use the form to request new service or modify any of the telecommunication or network services offered by NACS. These services include, but are not limited to, telephone, voice mail, network, cellular service, and 800Mhz radio. You can track the status of a service request at:
http://www.nacs.uci.edu/tools/srf/
For more information on the services offered, please refer to the following:
http://www.nacs.uci.edu/telephone/
http://www.nacs.uci.edu/network/
The online form has several advantages over the paper version. Customers will see that it is easier to complete the online form than to print, fill out, and fax the paper form. NACS can streamline requests that are submitted electronically, and better track fulfillment.
NACS will continue to accept the paper service request form at least through June 30, 2005. Please direct questions or comments to NACS Telecommunications Customer Service at (949) 824-5123, or by email at NACS-TCS@uci.edu.
