Present for Live Student Webinars
Presenting student webinars is a great opportunity for faculty and staff to connect with students, provide supplemental instruction, encourage student connections, and meet yearly performance goals. Training on presenting student webinars will be provided. We are looking for faculty and staff presenters to hold webinars on a variety of topics, including computer literacy, reading comprehension, study skills, writing, health and wellness, and more. If you are interested in presenting student webinars, please complete the Academic Success Center Student Webinar form here. We look forward to your contributions.
Managing Multiple Google Profiles
Managing access between a personal Google account and your Purdue Global account can be challenging. Some resources are shared openly, which allows access from your personal Google account, while other resources require Purdue Global credentials to access. Setting up Chrome profiles will allow you to more easily move between accounts. The video and document below outline the steps to set up and use Chrome profiles.
