Wireless Network Status (01-06-2012)

We are pleased to announce several upgrades to the wireless network have been installed during the winter break. The ground floor of the main classroom building (classrooms 101, 102 and 103) and the atrium now have much more efficient wireless coverage.

We recommend you connect to the FSUSecure wireless network. Some of the features of FSUSecure include an encrypted wireless connection, automatic login (after initial setup), and greater mobility to stay connected when roaming around campus. Unlike FSUWIN, you can connect multiple devices at the same time. You must go through the necessary configuration in order to connect to FSUSecure. Instructions can be found here.

If you encounter any problems please contact the Technology Department by phone (850-644-7735), email (helpdesk@law.fsu.edu or visit room 339 of the Classroom building or A023 of the Advocacy Center. Also, feel free to submit a Problem Report online.

Laptop Requirement update for new OS (07-15-2012)

The exam software used by the FSU College of Law is not supported on Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion or Windows 8 as of yet. Please take this in to account if you are thinking about purchasing a new laptop. This notice will be updated when these operating systems are supported.

Update (7/30/2012): Extegrity is working diligently to certify Exam4 support for Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. Please understand it is necessary for Extegrity to verify compatibility with the version that was publicly released on July 25, not pre-release or beta versions. No change on Windows 8 since the last announcement. Windows 8 is being released in October and Extegrity will not have time to fully vet a new version for release before final exams. We encourage you to avoid upgrading to Windows 8 until after the first of the year.

Update (8/15/2012): Mountain Lion now supported! Extegrity has completed analysis of Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and Exam4 is now compatible. Support for Windows 8 has not changed and is expected that it will not be supported for this fall.

Recorded Classes now delivered via Smooth Streaming (01-05-2012)

We are pleased to announce that classes that will be video recorded will be delivered via Windows Smooth Streaming and Microsoft Silverlight. This method caters to a broader scope of operating systems and Internet Browsers. It also allows students and faculty to watch the videos over any network speed. The technology we used is similar to many popular on-demand video streaming services used by millions of people. We hope you enjoy the new, smoother experience and as always we value your input. Please feel free to contact us.

College of Law gets new Video conferencing equipment (08-19-2011)

The FSU College of Law is now using Tandberg as our main video conferencing equipment. The Tandberg video conferencing unit, paired with a new LCD TV, provides HD viewing to both parties involved and gives crystal clear voice without all of the choppiness one might experience during a consumer-grade video chat interaction.
