Teaching in the IT teaching facilities

Create a request in time

1. If you need special software for your teaching, please contact Helpdesk at least four weeks before your class. The distribution of the application to the classroom cannot be guaranteed with less than one week’s notice. This especially applies at the beginning of terms. A list of software installed on classroom computers is provided at the end of these instructions.
2. Acquire any licences that are required and register free application if this is required by the software manufacturer.
   Read more about the acquisition of licences in Flamma.
3. Download the installation files and instructions, if any, ready for the IT Center for delivery.
4. Include the detailed information of the teaching room in the request. You can find information about the space reserved for your lessons in Sisu and on the course page, which you can access from the Teacher role page in Flamma.
5. Remember to also include your own contact details.
6. Furthermore, you should check that all the participants have a valid username. Usernames for any external participants must be acquired in time. Course usernames, for example, can be obtained for use in teaching. These Helpdesk instructions tell about the different types of usernames and how to apply for them.

When Helpdesk has received the request

1. The IT Center will contact you if any additional information is needed, and it will inform you of how to deliver any installation files which may be needed.
2. You will be notified when the software has been installed.
3. You must test the functionality of the software yourself before the beginning of teaching.
