New Website - New Name

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

We will be launching our new website and our new name for what has previously been called the LSC Virtual Campus. Starting on April 30, 2008 we will be called Lake Superior Connect. Our new website is pictured below:

We believe that this site will be more useful and more modern. A team of college representatives worked very hard to create this site under the direction of Steve Fudally, the Director of Web and Information Services.

The most immediate change that students and faculty will see is that the login to Desire2Learn looks different. You’ll find the new login fields in the upper right-hand corner of the screen, as shown below:

Just as a reminder for some of us with short memories, this is the top page of the website that is being replaced:

Accessing Online Course Surveys

Tuesday, May 1st, 2007

Students taking online classes at LSC are asked to submit the class evaluation survey during the period of May 1 - 14, 2007. The surveys are completely confidential and instructors will not receive the results until a few weeks after the end of the semester.

These surveys contain ten questions and should only take 3 or 4 minutes of your time.

To access the surveys, expand the listing called Surveys for the Spring 2007 semester listing, as shown below: (Click on images to view larger photo)

Great Firewall of China

Turns out that the Chinese won’t be reading our blogs here at LSC. You can go to the Great Firewall of China website to see if any URL is blocked in China. One thing I found on my trips over there is that things are not always bloacked in every location. However, it appears the the LSC blog site is blocked. Darn, and I was counting on some of those 1.3 billion people to drive up my page view numbers in the future.
