IET Report : Non-IET Sponsored Projects Involving Campus Technology
- MyInfoVault upgrade launches June 30
- On June 30, Academic Personnel and IET will roll out the newest version of MyInfoVault (MIV), the system that creates faculty digital dossiers to support academic promotions and merit actions. The upgrade will improve the overall architecture and functionality of MIV, and will provide users with an enhanced, more intuitive look and feel. The updated features include a new special character palette, a better creation time for dossiers, an easier way to navigate the menu, as well as quick and easy data-entry updates. As part of the move to make MIV a true database repository, users no longer have to code their information in HTML to format data in the system. Schools and colleges representing 125 departments and 3,100 accounts use MIV; they have provided important feedback as the MIV group developed the upgrade.

- iTunesU launches early May
- UC Davis' iTunesU site was launched in early May, making the campus one of the first of 50 colleges and universities across the nation to use the site. iTunesU, which is accessed through the online iTunes store, lets campuses post content for free with the idea of making educational resources easily accessible and mobile for students. By taking advantage of iTunes' popularity, UC Davis can also reach a wide audience, from prospective students to alumni. The UC Davis iTunesU site provides audio, video and podcasts on campus news, faculty research, interviews, music, athletics, and academic courses. The site has been running smoothly since its launch, and so far 50 videos have been uploaded. The site continues to be updated and enhanced as requests come in through the University Communications department. For more information, visit itunes.ucdavis.edu.
