UTEP Go Mobile App
UTEP Go is a new mobile app to help students connect with university resources. Students can access their grades, class schedule, account summary, email, Blackboard, and Goldmine. Students can also find links for resources like shuttle tracking, health services, food services, financial services and more. The app is a way for UTEP students to have all the resources they need in an easy to use mobile app. UTEP Go is available to download free from Apple and Google stores. Use the link below for more information and to download the app.
Mobile Print
With UTEP Mobile Print, anyone can send their documents to UTEP lab printers straight from their mobile device. There are three different ways to use Mobile Print. The first is by going to the web site mobileprint.utep.edu and upload documents to be retrieved from any lab printer. The second way to use Mobile Print is to download the PrinterOn app to your phone. Search for the two UTEP printers, color and black & white, then upload from your phone and search for a black-and-white or color printer to upload your document to. The last option is to just email your documents to either wirelessbw@utep.edu or wirelesscolor@utep.edu . For more information on using UTEP Mobile Print, visit the info page below.

LockDown Browser
LockDown Browser is an internet browser that goes directly to UTEP's Blackboard and nowhere else. It allows students to take a test online while locking all other applications on the computer. Students can download LockDown Browser to their computer by going to the “Tools” section in Blackboard, outside of their course. We want to remind students to always check for updates before taking an exam. When you open LockDown, click on the “i” at the top of the browser, and then “Check for Update”. Students and faculty can use the link below for more information on LockDown Browser.

Zoom
Zoom is a tool faculty can use to have face-to-face classroom sessions online. Dr. Daniel Tillman, an Associate Professor in Educational Technology, uses Zoom to record his class sessions as well as short instructional videos for his class. With Zoom, after each session is recorded, it is automatically uploaded into UTEP's video repository, YuJa. Instructors can then embed and share videos with their students directly in a Blackboard course. Use the links below for more information on how Zoom can be used together with Yuja and Blackboard.
Blackboard Ultra Training
For all faculty, this November, Technology Support will host three half-days of training on the 4th, 11th, and 18th.
