Summer 2011 SIRS results were distributed to faculty and instructors by email on Monday, August 22, 2011. If you are expecting survey results please check your mail, and look in your "spam" or "junk" folder since they may get diverted there. We will place a copy of all online surveys in Sakai dropboxes for department administrators over the next few days.

Please contact us at info@brokenmail.rutgers.edu please replace brokenmail with ctaar.rutgers.edu or 732-932-7466 if you are unable to find your survey results.

Spring 2011 SIRS Results Published

The summary statistics for the Spring 2011 Student Instructional Rating Surveys are available for the university community to view at the SIRS Results web site, http://sirs.rutgers.edu/

"ScarletApps" now available to all faculty, staff and students

By Joseph Delaney on August 1, 2011 1:12 PM
ScarletApps for email, calendars, shared document editing, and more is a new system for all incoming students that will eventually replace "Eden", "Pegasus" and "Clam" email addresses. Beginning now, all current students, faculty and staff may also choose to use ScarletApps. 

ScarletApps is a version of the popular Google tools (Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs, etc.). Any instructor who would like to use a Google tool in the classroom should consider using a Rutgers ScarletApps account instead of a personal Google account. You can see a full list of the apps available through ScarletApps here, and other Google services will be added periodically as Google continues to improve the service. There is also some rudimentary integration of Google Docs into Sakai resources.

To use ScarletApps, you need to "activate" your account at https://netid.rutgers.edu/cgi/activate_netid.cgi . This will create a new email address for you, you can simply ignore the new address or choose to forward your existing Rutgers email to the new account (refer to forwarding information on RCI, Andromeda, Crab, Eden, Pegasus, Clam or whatever other system you are using).
