Hybrid Courses✯

Please read this page in its entirety before the start of your courses

Each classroom (in buildings A and B, not the common area) is equipped with:

  • a fixed "prof" PC connected to the student network
  • a network port identified as INVITE (formerly EDUSPOT) to allow you to have a wired connection from your personal laptop. See below for more explanations

Most classrooms are equipped with a video projector, with HDMI and VGA for most, and at minimum VGA.

  • The prof PC is connected to the video projector.
  • If your personal machine does not have HDMI or VGA video outputs, you can borrow adapters from the CRI (offices A109 and A115).

Prof PCs✯

Each classroom is equipped with a "prof" PC

  • In rooms without student machines, the only machine is the prof PC. This station is connected to the video projector.
  • In computer labs with fixed PCs, the prof PC is identified by the "PC PROF" label. This station is connected to the video projector.
  • In Tx rooms, the "prof" PC is identified by the "PC PROF" label. This is the only fixed PC in the room. This station is connected to the video projector.
  • Laptops can be borrowed from the CRI in A109 for common area rooms

Each "prof" PC has the following software installed:

  • Acrobat Reader
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Microsoft Office 2016
  • LibreOffice 6
  • VLC
  • Xournal++
  • Microsoft Teams
  • Wacom Driver (to connect a Wacom tablet)

You must use your UCA credentials to log in to the "prof" station. Warning: For the PCs in rooms A002 and amphi Garcia, the prof PC is not connected to the student network, and you cannot log in with your UCA credentials. You will find the generic Windows login credentials in the email "ADDENDUM organization of hybrid courses". Remember to log out at the end of the course.

In Linux/Windows rooms A112 and A204, make sure to boot the machine into Windows to access the above software (machines boot into Linux by default). When starting the PC, pay attention to a menu that will allow you to choose between Ubuntu and Windows 10 (menu entries are named as such).

Warning:

  • The first login can be relatively long (several minutes)

Connections to educational servers✯

You can use Guacamole https://guacamole.isima.fr to connect to ISIMA's educational servers (Linux: ada and turing, Windows: tse1)

Common Area✯

Prof laptops are available from the IT team in A109. Remember to come the day before before 5:30 PM if you need a machine for the next day at 8 AM

2 options:

  • Bring your personal machine to the classroom, and if needed borrow small equipment (webcam/speakerphone/tablet) from A109
  • Borrow a "prof" type laptop from the CRI in A109

INVITE Network✯

Some rooms have a wall-mounted network port identified as INVITE (some ports are still labeled EDUSPOT even though it's the INVITE network, changes are in progress). This port allows you to have a wired internet connection from your personal machine.

To use it:

  • plug the network cable into your machine
  • browse

If you don't get network access immediately, here's how to proceed (you'll likely need to do the same when you reconnect your machine in your ISIMA/LIMOS office):

  • on Windows:

  • open a command prompt by pressing the Windows key + R

  • type cmd then Enter
  • enter the command ipconfig /release

  • enter the command ipconfig /renew

  • on macOS:

  • choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Network

  • In the left list, select the network service that needs an IP address renewed

  • Click Advanced, then TCP/IP, then Renew DHCP Lease

  • on Linux:

  • in a terminal, enter the command sudo dhclient -r && sudo dhclient

Small Equipment (webcam/speakerphone/tablet/adapters/network cable)✯

Stock of this equipment is very limited, please follow these rules:

  • if you have a webcam in your office, you must bring it to classrooms.
  • webcams/speakerphones/tablets can be borrowed from the CRI in office A109.
  • make sure to return borrowed equipment to A109 at the end of your class to avoid penalizing other teachers and their students

Other small equipment has been ordered, delivery times may be extended due to the health situation.
