“I can haz all my online appointment and schedule information in one merged calendar in NINERMAIL?”

2013/09/06 plagwitz Leave a comment

Yes, you can! Overlay calendars, a much needed feature from Outlook Desktop (as we mentioned earlier) has finally made it into the web version of Outlook (in Office365 the migration of which from live@edu will be finished by the end off the month), as was announced today: “Users can have multiple calendars in a merged view.”
Example: In Outlook Desktop (not available to students), you can not only add a calendar like, icsexport.ics to the right, but, if you click on the (1) little black arrow, add/merge icsexport.ics to the (2) already overlaid calendars on the left, which is much more usable if you need to aggregate content from different sources:
And now also in OFFICE365 NINERMAIL:
This should make the sharing of calendar information much easier, not only for the about 100 LRC resource calendars, but also for other useful calendars that are published on campus:
1. the new LCS calendar
2. the registrar’s academic calendar
3. the campus-wide faculty calendar
4. last not least: your Moodle calendar (view all your moodle assignment deadlines in one place, the same place you check your email)
5. And more… ? Do you know of other calendars, and/or a way to discover them?
The details
1. yet need to be panned out. We assume the feature will “just work” like above in Outlook Desktop when you
  1. share a calendar or
  2. subscribe to a calendar.
2. We’ll provide more information and examples once we see this feature… TBA

How to organize your email by creating an Inbox rule in OWA

2013/05/28 plagwitz Leave a comment

This step-by-step GUIDE was written for filtering emails from our langlabemailer program (they happen to have “Your UNCC-LRC” in the subject) into a separate folder so that users of the LRC keep the overview:
1. students (longitudinally, for their language learner ePortfolios) ,
2. but especially teachers (of classes with up to 36 students, throughout the term).
But you can easily adapt the guide to any other email purpose.
1. Including other LRC workflows based on emails: LRC resource booking also relies on OWA emails. All email sent from LRC resource mailboxes have “LRC” at the beginning of the user name and email address.
In short: Options / Create an Inbox Rule / Click “ new” / choose a type / choose keywords / choose folder to sort the email into when it arrives. Or graphically:
