Since Information Technology is not budgeted to fund the acquisition of courseware licenses, you must secure the funding for the licenses from other sources. Courseware packages are usually installed on the network. Installing courseware on the network provides students with access to the courseware from any public lab, residence hall lab, or networked computer on campus. A network install also conserves disk space on the lab computers, and requires less time to make any needed installation changes. Some software packages cannot be installed on the network, either due to technical problems or legal restrictions.
Access is needed to the courseware disk media set and manuals to perform the installation.
The disk media set and manuals will be returned to you upon completion of the installation. The installer usually makes an archive copy of the media set and a copy of the installation instructions, in case changes need to be made after the initial install. You also might consider ordering extra manuals for students to use in the computer labs. Your help is needed in testing the courseware, once it is installed. It is important to us that you are satisfied with the specifics of the installation before actually making the courseware accessible.
