Tech Bootcamp

OU IT Learning Spaces team has created a Tech Bootcamp that is available for all Faculty and Students, and new and incoming students will automatically be enrolled

Tech Bootcamp is a course on Canvas that is quick, simple and painless! It is designed to introduce you to the technology on your respective campus.

Students will learn how to connect to the internet, set up your accounts and so much more. This course will be a low-stakes environment for students to get experience in Canvas by learning how to post a discussion post, complete an assignment and take a quiz before jumping into the busy school semester.

 

If you are not automatically enrolled in the course you can find it here: https://canvas.ou.edu/courses/400526



LinkedIn Learning

A great resource students have during their time at OU is LinkedIn Learning! For incoming and transfer students below are some helpful LinkedIn Learning videos.

Additionally, LinkedIn Learning has introduced AI-powered coaching that can help you find courses and videos related to a potential career path.

This resource is available during your entire time at OU! Explore LinkedIn Learning and see what courses you can watch that will add to your education experience. LinkedIn Learning even has resources that will benefit you towards the end of your education like resume building and interview skills.
