Course Information - Technology
Please provide us with your technology needs.
*If you need to use the DVD/CD player that's in your classroom, then please make sure that you are playing from a DVD/CD that is copyrighted in the US. If you don't, then you risk the DVD/CD either not work or stop playing unexpectedly. **If you are connecting your own laptop to the teaching station, then you will need to provide your own adapter (HDMI or USB-C/VGA).
Affiliate Account Information
There has been a change in the way that people sign into teaching stations. Previously, each computer had its own username and password that anyone could use. Now, each person must use their own log-in information given to them by the University. Also new is the requirement to use two-factor authentication when signing in.
Once your course has been confirmed, the OLLI office will start working on getting you individual access to the teaching stations via an "Affiliate Account." New instructors will have to be added to the system, and returning instructors will have to have their account reactivated, if expired.
Please Note: You will need this account set up prior to the first day of your course.
Course Information - Course Modality Specifics
Please Note: We only ask for vehicle information for parking purposes if you indicate that you are teaching an "In-Person" course or choose "Either." Similarly, we only ask about recording your course if you opt to teach online.
OLLI at UConn purchases a parking permit from Parking Services for all in-person instructors whose course is confirmed to run. Please make sure that the information entered is correct so you don't risk get a ticket. If you do not need a parking pass, then please enter "X" in each text box so that you can submit the form.
Please Note: Our online course offerings are greatly supported by our Technology Team, who volunteer their time helping instructors as Technology Assistants (TAs). With limited technology volunteers, we’re looking at ways to continue with online learning that doesn't require Technology Assistants. Many people are now comfortable using Zoom, and some of our instructors are already hosting their own OLLI courses. If you’d be comfortable managing your own Zoom classes, we can provide you with an OLLI at UConn Zoom license at no cost to you. Training in scheduling and running your course(s) on Zoom is available upon request. Please let us know if you would like to run your own online course(s), or if you require a Tech Assistant.
Please Note: If you have an email address that you are currently using with a personal/another Zoom account, we will need you to create a new email address to use with the OLLI at UConn Zoom account. This is because it isn’t possible to use the same email for two Zoom accounts.

Course Information - Course Promotion
Please answer the following questions regarding course promotion.
A promotional video is a short (~60 seconds) video that briefly outlines a little bit about you and your course. You can either film and submit the video yourself, or opt to work with someone from our Technology Team to film the video via a recorded Zoom session. Self-made videos are encouraged and can be emailed to the OLLI office at osher@uconn.edu.
If you opt to work with someone from the Technology Team, then they will reach out to you and work out a time to meet. If you are planning to submit the video yourself, then you can send it to osher@uconn.edu as soon as is convenient for you. Please note that sending in a video early allows the office to post it sooner and is strongly encouraged for timing and planning purposes.
If you have your promotional video handy now, then please feel free to upload it now. If you don't - no worries! You can email it to osher@uconn.edu when you have it ready.
