The ATLAS Help Desk has relocated within the Foreign Languages Building (FLB) to room G89 in the northwest corner of the basement. Walk-ins are welcome and our e-mail & phone remain the same: atlas@illinois.edu & 217-333-6300.

The team that provides support to LAS faculty that use Moodle and teach LAS Online courses has a new office in FLB room G8c. If you have a Moodle or LAS Online related question please get in touch with us at atlas-tlt@illinois.edu

FLB G8 Student Area

Our open computing lab has been renovated and relocated in FLB G8d. It provides workstations for walk-in use as well as lounge type seating for students. We continue to offer for-charge printing in this space. This summer, we also upgraded some of our classrooms to enhance the experience of our students and faculty with innovations that include Apple TV, new flexible furnishings and HD projection.

ATLAS has released two new department websites this summer.  Check out the Departments of Math and East Asian Languages and Cultures.  We want to thank all the staff in both departments that worked with us to update and move content and make the migrations a success.  If you are interested in learning more about ATLAS web services, please contact atlas-web@illinois.edu.

ATLAS seeks proposals for new LAS Online courses to be developed in the January-June 2018 time frame. We invite faculty members to share their plans and propose the development of an online course by filling out a form at http://go.las.illinois.edu/developonline   or by contacting us at atlas-tlt@illinois.edu. For full consideration, please submit your plans by Wednesday, August 30.

ATLAS remains committed to ensuring that all of our faculty and staff have computers that are no more than 5 years old.  We have secured excellent quotes for business class desktops that ATLAS will purchase on behalf of our units.  Each year ATLAS will review the existing computers in each department and ATLAS will purchase a new one to replace the ones that meet the eligibility requirements.  Additionally new faculty hires will also be eligible to participate in the ATLAS care program.  Questions about this program can be directed to Dan Wood danwood@illinois.edu.

Be it a 1,200 student lecture hall or a thirty student computer lab, keeping all the names and faces straight can seem an overwhelming task. ATLAS Photo Roster can bridge these gaps and create an empowering environment for both students and faculty alike. ATLAS Photo Roster provides a simple to use, yearbook style format of photos to help instructors associate the names and faces of their students!

 If you’re listed in campus data as an instructor in a course for a given semester – you don’t need any special access or permissions. Simply log in at the following link to view your photo rosters for this semester:
