IT, Media and Classroom Services has significantly increased the campus community’s access to its Helpdesk this month — moving from an eight to twelve hour weekday schedule.
Helpdesk hours are now 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
The instructional, research and business activities at UBC’s Okanagan campus have grown dramatically over the past five years, and the expanded phone and walk-up Helpdesk hours reflect this.
Expanded hours will continue throughout the current academic term. IT, Media and Classroom Services will perform a review and analysis of this service expansion in January to determine how service delivery can be further improved.

IT, Media and Classroom Services will be working with UBC IT to upgrade the Okanagan campus’ email services.
This upgrade will require a migration of existing mailboxes to the new server and the migration will be coordinated with departments and units throughout the remainder of 2011 and early part of 2012.
Updates will be posted as the project progresses on the IT, Media and Classroom Services news blog. To find out more, contact Vanessa Lomas, project manager.

IT, Media & Classroom Services has created a campus-wide teleconferencing service that is now available to all researchers, faculty, and staff.
Dial-in teleconferencing allows campus community members requiring access to dial-in from a variety of locations. The service also allows teleconference organized to set a date and time for participants to join by having them call the conference system and entering an access code. There are also multiple ways to dial in to the conference system including a direct campus number, a local Kelowna and area phone number, or a North America toll-free number.
Currently IT, Media & Classroom Services has licensed 26 ports which will allow a total of 26 concurrent incoming phone calls to the teleconferencing server. Please note that wireless conference phones are also available.
To request a teleconference simply submit a “Request Teleconference” work order via the online helpdesk and your request will be processed within two business days.

The LibDub team is planning a day-long video project that will capture a day in the life of UBC’s Okanagan campus on Mar. 26.
Students at UBC’s Okanagan campus are taking school pride to a whole new level – they’re about to produce a “LipDub” video that captures the spirit of the campus for an online audience worldwide.
“A LipDub is a type of video that combines lip synching and audio dubbing to make a music video,” says student Lauren Gaudet, one of more than a dozen students organizing a full day of video production on Mar. 26. “Universities across the world have done it. Now it’s our turn.”
The video’s theme is a day in the life of UBC’s Okanagan campus.
“It will be a fun and dynamic way to showcase the Okanagan campus and everything it has to offer,” says Gaudet.
A LipDub is made by filming individuals or groups lip-synching to a song, then dubbing over it in post-editing with the original audio of the song. Several hundred students and members of faculty and staff are expected to participate in the video production, which will be posted to the online video site YouTube.
Technical expertise for the project is provided by staff from the on-campus Media Centre, which produces video for the www.ubco.tv video website. The Mar. 26 production gets underway at 10 a.m. in the campus courtyard, and is expected to continue in various campus locations until 5 p.m. that day.
The students have already posted a 35-second promotional YouTube video about the project on their LipDub project website — www.ubcolipdub.com.
