Mitch McConnell has promised Donald Trump that the Senate will vote on its broken healthcare bill.

That means three out of ten people who are addicted to opioids stand to lose medicaid coverage,

For people struggling with addiction, access to healthcare is paramount.

Without it, their risk of relapse and overdose substantially increases.

If the Senate bill passes, 22 million people will be robbed of their health insurance.

That's enough people to fill the states of Wyoming Vermont, Alaska, North Dakota,

South Dakota, Delaware, Montana, Rhode Island, Maine, New Hampshire, Idaho,

West Virginia, Nebraska, and New Mexico.

Combined.

The Senate's looming vote on this shameful legislation threatens to eliminate vital coverage,

cutting life-saving access to healthcare and overdose prevention for people most at-risk.

This bill will hurt you or someone you love.

Call your Senators today and demand that they oppose the Senate healthcare bill.

To contact your senator call (202) 224-3121 or visit www.drugpolicy.org.

Hello.

On behalf of the Center for Academic Technologies, welcome to CSU Monterey Bay!

At CAT you will find Instructional Designers, and Accessibility and Multimedia experts eager

to help you use the campus' wealth of technology to enhance your teaching, and your students'

learning.

All of us here at CAT have previously or currently teach at CSUMB, and so truly understand the

opportunities and challenges in transitioning to our wired university.

We will provide you with one-on-one support to quickly get you up and running during the

first few weeks...both in using the teaching workstations and projectors in our face-to-face

classrooms, and in getting your courses set up in iLearn, our online Learning Management

System.

CAT also provides a drop-in Learning Commons, just for faculty, where you can come, have

some tea, work on your classes, and get help as needed...including evening hours.

To get help or ask a question, email cat@csumb.edu, or call us at 831-582-4648, or drop by CAT

in Beach Hall - West (Building 21, next to the HR building).

We would love to hear from you.

So.... let's get you started.

To begin, go to CSUMB.edu.

Select "Login" and use your OtterID and password

If you do not know your OtterID, go to this link, which will be included in the description.

https://csumb.edu/it/accounts-and-passwords

Once you have logged into CSUMB.EDU, you will see your name at the top of the screen.

Click on your name and select "Dashboard" In this video, we will focus on the first

3 links in your dashboard: "iLearn," "CMS," and "Email."

iLearn/Moodle is our campus LMS (Learning Management System).

This is a password protected web space that allows you to communicate with your students,

post course materials, give quizzes, collect assignments, host forums, take attendance,

maintain a gradebook, and do just about anything you would expect from a virtual classroom.

On the front page of iLearn, you will find information on how to get free and discounted

software, including Virus protection, the Adobe Creative Suite, Camtasia video editing

software, and Microsoft Office.

CMS is our Common Management System.

It is the HR portal where you will enter your emergency contact information, keep track

of paychecks, print out the official student rosters for your classes, and is where you

will submit final grades at the end of the term.

We are a Google Campus, so if you are familiar with Gmail, this will be an easy transition.

Your campus Gmail and Calendar accounts are where you will receive all official communication,

and scheduled meetings.

In addition, you and each of your students have access to the complete Google suite,

of collaborative tools, including a personal YouTube Channel, and a Google Drive of unlimited

capacity!

Please take time now to: * review the pre-orientation resources below

* complete the questionnaire, so we can better serve your needs

* schedule a one-on-one appointment, so we can begin helping you set up your classes.

Again, welcome to CSUMB.

We look forward to working with you!
