Dmcgrego:

Department Shares are network storage spaces shared by small groups of users or departments.

==Advantages and Disadvantages of Department Shares==
====Advantages====
Department Shares provide password protected, backed up, collaborative work spaces for departments and small groups. The shares are accessed from users Home Directories and easily accessible from a campus network connection. Remote (off campus) access is available via Virtual Lab or Remote Desktop for employees.
====Disadvantages====
The size of most Department Shares are limited due to physical equipment costs and capacity limitations. Department Shares do not allow for real time collaboration. If multiple users are editing the same file, problems can occur. Access from off campus can be cumbersome, and different from on campus access. Shares can only be set up to allow campus community members access, non-campus users need different solutions.

==Accessing a Department Share==
There are two different department shares available. A department share is automatically created for each department based on the information in our ERP. There are also department shares available by using your [[Home_Directory#On-Campus_Access | Home Directory]].

[[Image:Bootcamp assistant20071016-1.gif|right]]
'''Boot Camp''' is a feature of [[Apple]]'s [[OS X]] operating system that allows a user to install [[Microsoft]]'s [[Windows]] on a [[Macintosh]] computer. This allows the user to have both OS X and Windows installed on the same computer.

== Requirements for Running Boot Camp ==

To run Windows, the user must have a [[Macintosh]] desktop or laptop with an [[Intel]]-based processor. It is because of the [[Intel]] architecture of the Mac that allows for Windows to be run natively on the computer. Mac OS X must also be installed before the use of '''Boot Camp'''.
These models of Mac computers are currently supported:
<div style="column-count:2;-moz-column-count:2;-webkit-column-count:2">
*Mac Laptops
**Macbook (2015 or newer)
**Air (2012 or newer)
**Pro (2012 or newer)
*Desktops
**Mac Mini (2012 or newer)
**iMac (2012 or newer)
**All iMac Pro computers
**Mac Pro (2013 or newer)
</div>

Boot Camp comes installed on Macintosh computers and can be found in '''Finder > Applications > Utilities'''.
To load the newest version of [[Windows]], you will need a USB drive with '''at least 16GB'''. This will be used to install all required Windows files.

Google Forms

2020-05-27T18:54:33Z

Dmcgrego:

Google Forms is a software provided by Google that allows users to create, edit, and share different types of forms to gather data.

Some of the basic templates offered are:

*Party Invites and RSVPs
*Feedback Requests
*Application Forms
*Contact Information
and many more...

==Creating your Google Form==
----
You can also create your own form from scratch.
#Navigate to [https://forms.google.com Google Forms].
#Sign in with your 麻豆视频 Account credentials (or another Google Account)
#Click the '''"Blank"''' sheet with a colorful plus in the center.
You now have your very own Google Form.
Here you can add a Name, Description, and many types of Questions to your form before sending it out. You will also see a default '''"Untitled Question"'''. This will be a Multiple Choice question and can be changed to any of the different question templates found below.
[[File:Google Form Blank.png|center|750px]]
Based on your intended use for this form, there are a variety of question templates to choose from. You can also create sections to split your form into multiple pages.

==Question Templates==
----
[[File:Google Form Questions.png|center|750px]]
===Multiple Choice Questions===
These are really good questions for giving users a specific number of options (chicken or fish). You can use these to gather simple demographic data as well as discover preferences of those you send the form to.

To insert one of these questions:
#Click the plus inside of a circle next to your current question.
#You now have another Multiple Choice question. This will be the default question every time you click the 'Add Question' plus button.

Now you can edit each possible answer or add an 'Other' option to your question.

===Dropdown Questions===
Dropdown questions are very similar to Multiple Choice questions as they can only have 1 answer selected. They may work better if there are a lot of possibilities that cannot be combined. This may be used for other demographic data that may have more possible responses. This may include: States, Countries, Height, Age, or many others that have a lot of options.

To insert one of these questions:
#Click the plus inside of a circle next to your current question.
#You now have another Multiple Choice question.
#Click the '''Multiple Choice''' box on the right side of your question box to reveal a dropdown menu.
#Select '''Dropdown'''

You will see a similar format to the Multiple Choice question template, but when sending the survey the user will see a list to select from instead of all of the options.

===Checkboxes===
These questions give users a chance to select multiple responses instead of the singular answer given with Multiple Choice questions. These are really good for marking off available times or selecting a few options from a large number available.

To insert one of these questions:
#Click the plus inside of a circle next to your current question.
#You now have another Multiple Choice question.
#Click the 'Multiple Choice' box on the right side of your question box to reveal a dropdown menu.
#Select 'Checkboxes'

Now you can add, delete, and edit your answers. You can also add an 'Other' option.

===Linear Scale===
Linear Scale questions are typically used to gather qualitative data as a rating of something. This gives the user a line of choices corresponding to the numbers set (range 0 to 10). You can also name the poles of this response ('Never' to 'Extremely often').

To insert one of these questions:
#Click the plus inside of a circle next to your current question.
#You now have another Multiple Choice question.
#Click the 'Multiple Choice' box on the right side of your question box to reveal a dropdown menu.
#Select 'Linear Scale'

You will now see the numbers used for ranges as drop-downs directly under the question. Below these you can set the names of each side of the line.

===Multiple Choice Grid===
Multiple Choice Grids give users a chance to select a single column response for each row provided. This type of question may be useful in place of a number of Linear Scale questions for collecting ratings data as well as other objectives.

To insert one of these questions:
#Click the plus inside of a circle next to your current question.
#You now have another Multiple Choice question.
#Click the 'Multiple Choice' box on the right side of your question box to reveal a dropdown menu.
#Select 'Multiple Choice Grid'

===Checkbox Grid===
Checkbox Grids give users a chance to select multiple response within each row or column provided. This type of question may be useful for building a weekly schedule or similar block-type answers.

To insert one of these questions:
#Click the plus inside of a circle next to your current question.
#You now have another Multiple Choice question.
#Click the 'Multiple Choice' box on the right side of your question box to reveal a dropdown menu.
#Select 'Checkbox Grid'

===Short Answer===
Short Answer Questions give users a chance to enter short responses, typically 1 to 3 sentences. Users will only be able to see a small part of their response at a time as the text scrolls, keeping the cursor on the screen. This type of question may be useful for short descriptions of an image as well as many others.

To insert one of these questions:
#Click the plus inside of a circle next to your current question.
#You now have another Multiple Choice question.
#Click the 'Multiple Choice' box on the right side of your question box to reveal a dropdown menu.
#Select 'Short Answer'

===Paragraph===
Paragraph Questions give users a chance to input longer bodies of text while seeing the entire response. This type of question may be useful for essays and explanation questions as well as questions with multiple parts.

To insert one of these questions:
#Click the plus inside of a circle next to your current question.
#You now have another Multiple Choice question.
#Click the 'Multiple Choice' box on the right side of your question box to reveal a dropdown menu.
#Select 'Paragraph'

===Date and Time===
These questions are best for gathering specific dates and times from the recipients. Date questions require mm/dd/yyyy and may be best for birthdays planning future events. Time questions will output as 12-hr clock (7:00 pm), even if entered as 24-hr (19:00).

To insert either of these questions:
#Click the plus inside of a circle next to your current question.
#You now have another Multiple Choice question.
#Click the 'Multiple Choice' box on the right side of your question box to reveal a dropdown menu.
#Select 'Date' or 'Time'

===File Upload===
A file upload question is a good way to connect files to your form. After adding one of these questions, you will see a few options for restricting file submissions.

#'''Allow only specific file types''' allows you to specify whether you would like a .pdf, .docx, or any other common file type like video and audio files.
#'''Maximum number of files''' will restrict the number of files able to be uploaded in a single submission.
#'''Maximum file size''' will restrict files larger than this size. If allowing multiple file types, this maximum file size may need to be larger to accommodate all file types.

'''The default Total File Size is set to 1GB which may not be enough for larger classes or multiple large files. To change this, click 'Change' and you can select a limit up to 1TB (1024 GB).'''

===Require 'Valid Responses'===
For most of the question templates, you will be able to restrict the answers provided. This is found within the Question Settings menu (three dots in the bottom right corner of the question box). This will allow you to set minimum and maximum limits on the Short Answer and Paragraph questions as well as response minimum and maximum limits on Checkbox questions. Here, you will also find the ability to customize an error message if the user response is not valid. ("Sorry, the character limit on this question is 500. Please refine your answer and try again." "This question requires 3 boxes to be checked. Please review your selection and try again.")

==Sections and Subsections==
----
[[File:Google Form Section.png|center|750px]]
Sections allow you to split your form into multiple pages. This can be done to show progress on longer forms as well as tailoring one form that covers multiple sections of users (student, faculty, professor).

===How to Create Sections===
To create a section, select the '''Create New Section''' button on the right side of the screen. This will be found in the same menu as the '''New Question''' button.
You will now have created Section 2 which will be blank. You can also duplicate a section to gather data separately (resident hall of student juniors). To do this, you can create a section to separate students from faculty and staff. You can then link this 'student' answer to another section.

==Linking Questions and Sections==
----
You can create links between sections and answers to send users to a specific section of the form based on their answer to a question.

===Linking by answer===
Certain questions allow you to link a section to the user's response. These can be found in '''Multiple Choice''' questions as well as a few other basic question formats.

To link a section to an answer:
#Navigate to the question that you want to use.
#Click on the three dots in the bottom right corner of the question box.
#Click '''Go to question based on answer'''. You will now see all answers have '''Continue to next section''' to the right of them. This drop-down will also contain '''Submit form''' as well as each section of the form.
#Behind each answer, click the drop-down.
#Select where you want the question to send the user.
You will now be able to send users to different sections based on their answers!

Example:
*If the user picks the 'Student' answer:
*Send the user to the 'Grade' section.
*If the user picks 'Junior' in the 'Grade' section: *Send user to 'Junior Residence Halls' section

This will give you data on the residence halls specifically selected by Junior Students.

===Linking by progress===
You can also specify where to send a user after each section. To do this, navigate to the bottom of the section that you would like to link. You should see a small drop-down with '''Continue to next section'''. After clicking this, you will see all of the places that you can link this section to.

Example:
*After 'Student Information' is complete:
*Send the user to 'Emergency Contact' section.

====Finish Form====
If you would like to specify final pages and sections to your form, you can do this by selecting '''Submit form''' at the bottom of any section. You can also select '''Submit form''' in any of the questions that allow '''Go to section based on answer'''.
Selecting this will submit the form and give a thank you message. This may be useful for sections pertaining to specific users.

Example:
*If 'Faculty' answer is selected, send the user to the 'Faculty' section.
*After completing the 'Faculty' section, submit the form.

==Data Collection==
----
Google Forms allows you to collect the data from the responses. You can receive an overview of this data by clicking on '''Responses'''. This will give you an overview of the entire form. You can also view the data for each question or from each respondent by clicking '''Question''' or '''Individual''' respectively.

===Data Output===
Data from questions will be represented in the '''Overview''' as follows by default:
*Short Answer and Paragraph will be shown as text.
*Multiple Choice and Dropdown will be shown in a Pie Chart.
*Checkbox questions will be shown in a bar graph (horizontal bars).
*Linear Scale and Grid questions will be shown as a column graph (vertical bars).

==Exporting Data==
In addition to this visual approach to the data, you can export the data for easier analysis as well.

===to Excel===
To export the data to an Excel file:
# Click '''Responses'''.
# Click the three dots (Settings) on the top right side, next to the green box.
#Click '''Download Responses (.csv)'''.
#Open the .csv file.
'''Excel may not be able to edit the .csv file and may need a compatible file type. To change this, simply:'''
*Click '''File''' > '''Save As'''
*Save the file as '''.xlsx'''.

===to Google Sheets===
To export you data to a Google Sheet:
#Click '''Responses'''
#Click the Green Box on the right side of the screen. (This will create a new Google Sheet and export the Form data to this Sheet)

==Demo Form==
[https://forms.gle/NZizhAWFND9cnEHQ7 This form] will demo all of the steps listed above. The form is anonymous and is meant to show what the user will see when filling out each question. You are able to change your answers after submitting. You are also able to see a summary of the results (including one stock response to show the output), this will be what you can see from your own form. Selecting the best question template for the kinds of data you wish to collect is important as different question templates will produce different graphs and data. Hopefully this demo will help with that decision!

Dropdown questions are very similar to Multiple Choice questions as they can only have 1 answer selected. They may work better if there are a lot of possibilities that cannot be combined. This may be used for other demographic data that may have more possible responses. This may include: States, Countries, Height, Age, or many others that have a lot of options.

To insert one of these questions:
#Click the plus inside of a circle next to your current question.
#You now have another Multiple Choice question.
#Click the '''Multiple Choice''' box on the right side of your question box to reveal a dropdown menu.
#Select '''Dropdown'''

You will see a similar format to the Multiple Choice question template, but when sending the survey the user will see a list to select from instead of all of the options.

===Checkboxes===
These questions give users a chance to select multiple responses instead of the singular answer given with Multiple Choice questions. These are really good for marking off available times or selecting a few options from a large number available.

To insert one of these questions:
#Click the plus inside of a circle next to your current question.
#You now have another Multiple Choice question.
#Click the 'Multiple Choice' box on the right side of your question box to reveal a dropdown menu.
#Select 'Checkboxes'

Now you can add, delete, and edit your answers. You can also add an 'Other' option.

===Linear Scale===
Linear Scale questions are typically used to gather qualitative data as a rating of something. This gives the user a line of choices corresponding to the numbers set (range 0 to 10). You can also name the poles of this response ('Never' to 'Extremely often').

To insert one of these questions:
#Click the plus inside of a circle next to your current question.
#You now have another Multiple Choice question.
#Click the 'Multiple Choice' box on the right side of your question box to reveal a dropdown menu.
#Select 'Linear Scale'

You will now see the numbers used for ranges as drop-downs directly under the question. Below these you can set the names of each side of the line.

===Multiple Choice Grid===
Multiple Choice Grids give users a chance to select a single column response for each row provided. This type of question may be useful in place of a number of Linear Scale questions for collecting ratings data as well as other objectives.

To insert one of these questions:
#Click the plus inside of a circle next to your current question.
#You now have another Multiple Choice question.
#Click the 'Multiple Choice' box on the right side of your question box to reveal a dropdown menu.
#Select 'Multiple Choice Grid'

===Checkbox Grid===
Checkbox Grids give users a chance to select multiple response within each row or column provided. This type of question may be useful for building a weekly schedule or similar block-type answers.

To insert one of these questions:
#Click the plus inside of a circle next to your current question.
#You now have another Multiple Choice question.
#Click the 'Multiple Choice' box on the right side of your question box to reveal a dropdown menu.
#Select 'Checkbox Grid'

===Short Answer===
Short Answer Questions give users a chance to enter short responses, typically 1 to 3 sentences. Users will only be able to see a small part of their response at a time as the text scrolls, keeping the cursor on the screen. This type of question may be useful for short descriptions of an image as well as many others.

To insert one of these questions:
#Click the plus inside of a circle next to your current question.
#You now have another Multiple Choice question.
#Click the 'Multiple Choice' box on the right side of your question box to reveal a dropdown menu.
#Select 'Short Answer'

===Paragraph===
Paragraph Questions give users a chance to input longer bodies of text while seeing the entire response. This type of question may be useful for essays and explanation questions as well as questions with multiple parts.

To insert one of these questions:
#Click the plus inside of a circle next to your current question.
#You now have another Multiple Choice question.
#Click the 'Multiple Choice' box on the right side of your question box to reveal a dropdown menu.
#Select 'Paragraph'

===Date and Time===
These questions are best for gathering specific dates and times from the recipients. Date questions require mm/dd/yyyy and may be best for birthdays planning future events. Time questions will output as 12-hr clock (7:00 pm), even if entered as 24-hr (19:00).

To insert either of these questions:
#Click the plus inside of a circle next to your current question.
#You now have another Multiple Choice question.
#Click the 'Multiple Choice' box on the right side of your question box to reveal a dropdown menu.
#Select 'Date' or 'Time'

===File Upload===
A file upload question is a good way to connect files to your form. After adding one of these questions, you will see a few options for restricting file submissions.

#'''Allow only specific file types''' allows you to specify whether you would like a .pdf, .docx, or any other common file type like video and audio files.
#'''Maximum number of files''' will restrict the number of files able to be uploaded in a single submission.
#'''Maximum file size''' will restrict files larger than this size. If allowing multiple file types, this maximum file size may need to be larger to accommodate all file types.

'''The default Total File Size is set to 1GB which may not be enough for larger classes or multiple large files. To change this, click 'Change' and you can select a limit up to 1TB (1024 GB).'''

===Require 'Valid Responses'===
For most of the question templates, you will be able to restrict the answers provided. This is found within the Question Settings menu (three dots in the bottom right corner of the question box). This will allow you to set minimum and maximum limits on the Short Answer and Paragraph questions as well as response minimum and maximum limits on Checkbox questions. Here, you will also find the ability to customize an error message if the user response is not valid. ("Sorry, the character limit on this question is 500. Please refine your answer and try again." "This question requires 3 boxes to be checked. Please review your selection and try again.")

==Sections and Subsections==
----
Sections allow you to split your form into multiple pages. This can be done to show progress on longer forms as well as tailoring one form that covers multiple sections of users (student, faculty, professor).

===How to Create Sections===
To create a section, select the '''Create New Section''' button on the right side of the screen. This will be found in the same menu as the '''New Question''' button.
You will now have created Section 2 which will be blank. You can also duplicate a section to gather data separately (resident hall of student juniors). To do this, you can create a section to separate students from faculty and staff. You can then link this 'student' answer to another section.

==Linking Questions and Sections==
----
You can create links between sections and answers to send users to a specific section of the form based on their answer to a question.

===Linking by answer===
Certain questions allow you to link a section to the user's response. These can be found in '''Multiple Choice''' questions as well as a few other basic question formats.

To link a section to an answer:
#Navigate to the question that you want to use.
#Click on the three dots in the bottom right corner of the question box.
#Click '''Go to question based on answer'''. You will now see all answers have '''Continue to next section''' to the right of them. This drop-down will also contain '''Submit form''' as well as each section of the form.
#Behind each answer, click the drop-down.
#Select where you want the question to send the user.
You will now be able to send users to different sections based on their answers!

Example:
*If the user picks the 'Student' answer:
*Send the user to the 'Grade' section.
*If the user picks 'Junior' in the 'Grade' section: *Send user to 'Junior Residence Halls' section

This will give you data on the residence halls specifically selected by Junior Students.

===Linking by progress===
You can also specify where to send a user after each section. To do this, navigate to the bottom of the section that you would like to link. You should see a small drop-down with '''Continue to next section'''. After clicking this, you will see all of the places that you can link this section to.

Example:
*After 'Student Information' is complete:
*Send the user to 'Emergency Contact' section.

====Finish Form====
If you would like to specify final pages and sections to your form, you can do this by selecting '''Submit form''' at the bottom of any section. You can also select '''Submit form''' in any of the questions that allow '''Go to section based on answer'''.
Selecting this will submit the form and give a thank you message. This may be useful for sections pertaining to specific users.

Example:
*If 'Faculty' answer is selected, send the user to the 'Faculty' section.
*After completing the 'Faculty' section, submit the form.

==Data Collection==
----
Google Forms allows you to collect the data from the responses. You can receive an overview of this data by clicking on '''Responses'''. This will give you an overview of the entire form. You can also view the data for each question or from each respondent by clicking '''Question''' or '''Individual''' respectively.

===Data Output===
Data from questions will be represented in the '''Overview''' as follows by default:
*Short Answer and Paragraph will be shown as text.
*Multiple Choice and Dropdown will be shown in a Pie Chart.
*Checkbox questions will be shown in a bar graph (horizontal bars).
*Linear Scale and Grid questions will be shown as a column graph (vertical bars).

==Exporting Data==
In addition to this visual approach to the data, you can export the data for easier analysis as well.

===to Excel===
To export the data to an Excel file:
# Click '''Responses'''.
# Click the three dots (Settings) on the top right side, next to the green box.
#Click '''Download Responses (.csv)'''.
#Open the .csv file.
'''Excel may not be able to edit the .csv file and may need a compatible file type. To change this, simply:'''
*Click '''File''' > '''Save As'''
*Save the file as '''.xlsx'''.

===to Google Sheets===
To export you data to a Google Sheet:
#Click '''Responses'''
#Click the Green Box on the right side of the screen. (This will create a new Google Sheet and export the Form data to this Sheet)

==Demo Form==
[https://forms.gle/NZizhAWFND9cnEHQ7 This form] will demo all of the steps listed above. The form is anonymous and is meant to show what the user will see when filling out each question. You are able to change your answers after submitting. You are also able to see a summary of the results (including one stock response to show the output), this will be what you can see from your own form. Selecting the best question template for the kinds of data you wish to collect is important as different question templates will produce different graphs and data. Hopefully this demo will help with that decision!

Dmcgrego:

Google Forms is a software provided by Google that allows users to create, edit, and share different types of forms to gather data.

Some of the basic templates offered are:

*Party Invites and RSVPs
*Feedback Requests
*Application Forms
*Contact Information
and many more...

==Creating your Google Form==
You can also create your own form from scratch.
#Navigate to [https://forms.google.com Google Forms].
#Sign in with your 麻豆视频 Account credentials (or another Google Account)
#Click the '''"Blank"''' sheet with a colorful plus in the center.
You now have your very own Google Form.
Here you can add a Name, Description, and many types of Questions to your form before sending it out. You will also see a default '''"Untitled Question"'''. This will be a Multiple Choice question and can be changed to any of the different question templates found below.

Based on your intended use for this form, there are a variety of question templates to choose from. You can also create sections to split your form into multiple pages.

==Question Templates==
===Multiple Choice Questions===
These are really good questions for giving users a specific number of options (chicken or fish). You can use these to gather simple demographic data as well as discover preferences of those you send the form to.

To insert one of these questions:
#Click the plus inside of a circle next to your current question.
#You now have another Multiple Choice question. This will be the default question every time you click the 'Add Question' plus button.

Now you can edit each possible answer or add an 'Other' option to your question.

===Dropdown Questions===
Dropdown questions are very similar to Multiple Choice questions as they can only have 1 answer selected. They may work better if there are a lot of possibilities that cannot be combined. This may be used for other demographic data that may have more possible responses. This may include: States, Countries, Height, Age, or many others that have a lot of options.

To insert one of these questions:
#Click the plus inside of a circle next to your current question.
#You now have another Multiple Choice question.
#Click the '''Multiple Choice''' box on the right side of your question box to reveal a dropdown menu.
#Select '''Dropdown'''

You will see a similar format to the Multiple Choice question template, but when sending the survey the user will see a list to select from instead of all of the options.

===Checkboxes===
These questions give users a chance to select multiple responses instead of the singular answer given with Multiple Choice questions. These are really good for marking off available times or selecting a few options from a large number available.

To insert one of these questions:
#Click the plus inside of a circle next to your current question.
#You now have another Multiple Choice question.
#Click the 'Multiple Choice' box on the right side of your question box to reveal a dropdown menu.
#Select 'Checkboxes'

Now you can add, delete, and edit your answers. You can also add an 'Other' option.

===Linear Scale===
Linear Scale questions are typically used to gather qualitative data as a rating of something. This gives the user a line of choices corresponding to the numbers set (range 0 to 10). You can also name the poles of this response ('Never' to 'Extremely often').

To insert one of these questions:
#Click the plus inside of a circle next to your current question.
#You now have another Multiple Choice question.
#Click the 'Multiple Choice' box on the right side of your question box to reveal a dropdown menu.
#Select 'Linear Scale'

You will now see the numbers used for ranges as drop-downs directly under the question. Below these you can set the names of each side of the line.

===Multiple Choice Grid===
Multiple Choice Grids give users a chance to select a single column response for each row provided. This type of question may be useful in place of a number of Linear Scale questions for collecting ratings data as well as other objectives.

To insert one of these questions:
#Click the plus inside of a circle next to your current question.
#You now have another Multiple Choice question.
#Click the 'Multiple Choice' box on the right side of your question box to reveal a dropdown menu.
#Select 'Multiple Choice Grid'

===Checkbox Grid===
Checkbox Grids give users a chance to select multiple response within each row or column provided. This type of question may be useful for building a weekly schedule or similar block-type answers.

To insert one of these questions:
#Click the plus inside of a circle next to your current question.
#You now have another Multiple Choice question.
#Click the 'Multiple Choice' box on the right side of your question box to reveal a dropdown menu.
#Select 'Checkbox Grid'

===Short Answer===
Short Answer Questions give users a chance to enter short responses, typically 1 to 3 sentences. Users will only be able to see a small part of their response at a time as the text scrolls, keeping the cursor on the screen. This type of question may be useful for short descriptions of an image as well as many others.

To insert one of these questions:
#Click the plus inside of a circle next to your current question.
#You now have another Multiple Choice question.
#Click the 'Multiple Choice' box on the right side of your question box to reveal a dropdown menu.
#Select 'Short Answer'

===Paragraph===
Paragraph Questions give users a chance to input longer bodies of text while seeing the entire response. This type of question may be useful for essays and explanation questions as well as questions with multiple parts.

To insert one of these questions:
#Click the plus inside of a circle next to your current question.
#You now have another Multiple Choice question.
#Click the 'Multiple Choice' box on the right side of your question box to reveal a dropdown menu.
#Select 'Paragraph'

===Date and Time===
These questions are best for gathering specific dates and times from the recipients. Date questions require mm/dd/yyyy and may be best for birthdays planning future events. Time questions will output as 12-hr clock (7:00 pm), even if entered as 24-hr (19:00).

To insert either of these questions:
#Click the plus inside of a circle next to your current question.
#You now have another Multiple Choice question.
#Click the 'Multiple Choice' box on the right side of your question box to reveal a dropdown menu.
#Select 'Date' or 'Time'

===File Upload===
A file upload question is a good way to connect files to your form. After adding one of these questions, you will see a few options for restricting file submissions.

#'''Allow only specific file types''' allows you to specify whether you would like a .pdf, .docx, or any other common file type like video and audio files.
#'''Maximum number of files''' will restrict the number of files able to be uploaded in a single submission.
#'''Maximum file size''' will restrict files larger than this size. If allowing multiple file types, this maximum file size may need to be larger to accommodate all file types.

'''The default Total File Size is set to 1GB which may not be enough for larger classes or multiple large files. To change this, click 'Change' and you can select a limit up to 1TB (1024 GB).'''

===Require 'Valid Responses'===
For most of the question templates, you will be able to restrict the answers provided. This is found within the Question Settings menu (three dots in the bottom right corner of the question box). This will allow you to set minimum and maximum limits on the Short Answer and Paragraph questions as well as response minimum and maximum limits on Checkbox questions. Here, you will also find the ability to customize an error message if the user response is not valid. ("Sorry, the character limit on this question is 500. Please refine your answer and try again." "This question requires 3 boxes to be checked. Please review your selection and try again.")

==Sections and Subsections==

Sections allow you to split your form into multiple pages. This can be done to show progress on longer forms as well as tailoring one form that covers multiple sections of users (student, faculty, professor).

===How to Create Sections===
To create a section, select the '''Create New Section''' button on the right side of the screen. This will be found in the same menu as the '''New Question''' button.
You will now have created Section 2 which will be blank. You can also duplicate a section to gather data separately (resident hall of student juniors). To do this, you can create a section to separate students from faculty and staff. You can then link this 'student' answer to another section.

==Linking Questions and Sections==
You can create links between sections and answers to send users to a specific section of the form based on their answer to a question.

===Linking by answer===
Certain questions allow you to link a section to the user's response. These can be found in '''Multiple Choice''' questions as well as a few other basic question formats.

To link a section to an answer:
#Navigate to the question that you want to use.
#Click on the three dots in the bottom right corner of the question box.
#Click '''Go to question based on answer'''.
You will now see all answers have '''Continue to next section''' to the right of them. This drop-down will also contain '''Submit form''' as well as each section of the form.
#Behind each answer, click the drop-down.
#Select where you want the question to send the user.
You will now be able to send users to different sections based on their answers! (If 'Student', send the user to 'Grade' section. If 'Junior' send user to 'Junior Residence Halls' section.)
This will give you data on the residence halls specifically selected by Junior Students.

===Linking by progress===
You can also specify where to send a user after each section. To do this, navigate to the bottom of the section that you would like to link. You should see a small drop-down with '''Continue to next section'''. After clicking this, you will see all of the places that you can link this section to.

Example:
*After 'Student Information' is complete:
*Send the user to 'Emergency Contact' section.

====Finish Form====
If you would like to specify final pages and sections to your form, you can do this by selecting '''Submit form''' at the bottom of any section. You can also select '''Submit form''' in any of the questions that allow '''Go to section based on answer'''.
Selecting this will submit the form and give a thank you message. This may be useful for sections pertaining to specific users.

Example:
*If 'Faculty' answer is selected, send the user to the 'Faculty' section.
*After completing the 'Faculty' section, submit the form.

Garageband

2020-04-30T19:29:34Z

Dmcgrego:

[[Image:Garageband2.png|thumb]]
'''Garageband''' is an audio recording and editing program which is part of the [[iLife]] media editing suite. Garageband allows users to add their own vocal or instrumental tracks, as well as mix tracks using the built in sound effects. The three main project types in Garageband are '''music project''', '''podcasts''' and '''movie score'''.

==Podcasts==
[[Image:GaragebandPodcast1.png|thumb|The podcast creation interface]]
The podcast creator is one of the easiest to use features of Garageband. Although the interface may look complicated, it is actually not very difficult to use to make simple recordings. The key is to realize that you do not have to use every option that is available in order to create a high quality sound recording. Options available include multiple audio tracks, personal sound recording, and the ability to import outside audio, pictures and video into the podcast. The podcasts can then be saved as AAC files, which is a compressed file type which works with [[iTunes]] on both [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] and [[Macintosh]] operating systems.

===Voice Recording===
To record a single vocal track, open the Podcast option and select one of the open audio tracks (these tracks are, by default, titled "Male Voice", "Female Voice", "Jingles" and "Radio Sounds" but you may re-name them by editing the name in the "Track" box below the main recorder, however this name will not be the final name of your project)

Once you have selected a track you may begin recording by clocking on the record button (the red circle). When you are done, hit the play button to stop the recording. When you have finished you may move the cursor back over the recording to playback what you have just recorded.

[[Image:GaragebandPodcastRecord.png]]

If you wish to delete your recording and star over you may do so by clicking on your recording and hitting the delete key.

===Importing External Audio===
[[Image:GaragebandPodcastImportSong.png|thumb|Importing a sound file]]
If you would like to import an external audio file, such as an assignment file or background music for your podcast, you may do so in one of two ways. The first way is to use the built-in '''Media Browser'''. To open the Media Browser, go to the '''Control''' menu at the top of your screen and choose '''View Media Browser''' the media browser should then appear on the right-hand side of the screen. To import music, click on the '''Audio''' tab at the top of the browser. This should give you a list of the sound files found in your Garageband and iTunes music folders. To add one of these songs to your project, click on it and drag it into the desired track within your project. You may also import music by simply dragging the file from '''Finder''' into the project. Once inside your project, the sound track may be shifted around so as to best fit within your podcast.

===Importing Image Files===
Much like importing external sound files, you may use either the '''Media Browser''' or drag and drop from '''Finder''' to add images to your Podcast project. Images may be added as one basic image for the whole episode, or as a slide-show of images to appear at different points during the audio playback.

===Saving and Re-playing Podcasts===
To save your file as an [[iTunes]] friendly AAC (.m4a file) podcast, go to the '''Share''' menu and choose '''Send Song to iTunes'''. This will compress and convert your file and open it automatically in iTunes. Once it is in iTunes you can get to the file itself through '''Finder''' by looking in the iTunes music folder.

If you are planning on uploading this file to another server such as the 麻豆视频 podcast server, you may want to choose '''Export Podcast to Disk''' and save the file as an AAC or MP3 to a convenient location. This is the same as choosing '''Send Song to iTunes''', except you choose the location of the file instead of going into [[iTunes]] automatically.

By choosing the "Save" from the file menu you will be saving the whole project as a .band file, which you can only open again in Garageband and tends to be too large for e-mail, and will quickly fill your 麻豆视频 Home directory quota. If this happens, you may delete the .band files on your own, or see a center assistant for help.

===Publishing a Garageband Podcast on iWeb===
To post your recording to your [[iWeb]] web site, go to the '''Share''' menu and choose '''Send Song to iWeb'''. This will compress and convert your file and open it automatically as a new podcast on your iWeb page.

VideoCue

2020-04-30T19:27:40Z

Dmcgrego:

[[Image:VideoCue.gif|right]]
'''VideoCue''' is a computer program for [[Mac OS X]] that is used in conjunction with a webcam to quickly make compressed videos, ideal for video blogs, vodcasting, or just practicing speeches and presentations. 麻豆视频 has two stations set up for people wishing to use VideoCue: one in the ground floor of the [[Folke Bernadotte Memorial Library]], and one in the [[Culpeper Language Center]]'s [[Media development station]].

==Using VideoCue in the Library==
*Sit down, log into the computer, position the iSight to your liking, and click start.
*The program will start recording when the words reach the red area and the camera comes on.
*When you are done, hit ''stop''. The program will then ask if you would like to view the video, re-do the video, or save the video.
*When you are satisfied with the product, choose to save the video. The program will then automatically save it to a web folder and e-mail you the link. With that link you can view, share, or download the video.
*The link will remain valid until the end of the semester.

==Using VideoCue in the Culpeper Center==
*VideoCue is currently only available on the Media Development Station computer in the Culpeper Center.
*Launch the VideoCue program from the ''Dock'' or the ''Applications'' folder.
*Position the iSight to your liking.
*Hit the red record button, the program will start recording when the ''Start speaking now'' text reaches the red zone.
*The program is by default set-up to record for 10 minutes or less if you want to record for longer, please see the center assistant for help.
*When you are done recording, hit the square stop button.
*Once you hit stop, a save box will open. Name your file and save it to the appropriate place. If you save it to the local hard drive, please save to HD2, it will remain there until the end of the semester. Assuming you have the available space, it is recommended that you save it to your Home Directory.
*When you are done, quit the program.

'''Mac the Ripper''' is a [[DVD]] copying program for [[Mac]] computers. It will "rip" a DVD to the [[hard drive]] of your computer so that you can copy it. Mac the Ripper is installed in the Mac computer in the [[Media development station]]. At the [[Culpeper Language Center]] this program is most often used to make a region-free copy of a region encoded DVD. The program is to be used for '''educational purposes only''' and '''not''' to be used to make copies of library DVDs!

==Copying a DVD==
#To get started, put the DVD in the computer's DVD drive. The DVD player program may automatically open, exit that program before continuing.
#Click on the ''Mac the Ripper'' program in the ''Applications'' folder.
#Once the program is open, it should recognize that there is a DVD in the drive. Click the ''Go'' button. The program will then rip the DVD and place the files in the ''Movies'' folder.
#Once you have made a copy to your hard drive, use [[DVD2one]] to burn a new copy of the DVD.

Dmcgrego:

One of the included programs that comes on every machine, as a part of the Mac OS X operating system is '''Address Book'''.

Address Book is built for two key purposes:
#Store all your contacts
#access contacts anywhere

The application allows you to import information from other applications (i.e. Google, [[iCloud]], etc.), create distribution lists for you clubs and groups, print address labels and envelopes, and more.

This application also allows syncing on your Mac with your [[iPhone]] or other mobile phone, [[iPad]], or [[IPod Touch | iPod touch]].
