Course Information - Technology Please provide us with your technology needs.
Technology and/or Special Equipment Needed (please select ALL that apply)* *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. You may also need 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.
Personal Email*
Date of Birth* 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.
Would you be interested in offering this course as a Sample Session (during semester(s) that we have an Open House)? Yes No
Please Note: We don't hold an open house each semester and sample session slots are limited. If we are holding an open house, you indicate that you would like to offer this course as a sample session, and your course is chosen as a potential sample session, then someone will reach out to you to confirm a schedule.
If you need a parking permit, please provide the following vehicle information* 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.
Would you like a Technology Assistant (TA) for your Zoom course?* Yes No
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.
Email*
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.
