UITS news for September 6, 2023
Hi! My name is…
Even what we think of as simple names can be mispronounced by those who are not used to saying them. Avoid this issue by recording your name with NameCoach.
Recordings will appear in Canvas, the IU directory, anywhere you choose to share your NameBadge, and in advising and commencement records. Learn how NameCoach works with this video and simplify introductions.
Keep your student org organized
Did you know that student groups can use Microsoft Teams to stay organized and centralized? Keep chat channels, meeting notes, and files all in one place. No more massive group texts or losing files when leaders graduate.

AI-powered Bing Chat Enterprise now available in preview mode at IU
Bing Chat Enterprise is now enabled for IU faculty and staff. Like ChatGPT, you can use it to write and summarize content, create code, and answer complex questions. It is the recommended generative AI tool for IU because it has safeguards to prevent the unauthorized exposure of personal and IU data and it does not use or retain chat data for AI model training. Bing Chat Enterprise is available in preview mode for no additional cost to IU.

Invite students to record their names
NameCoach is a tool designed to help instructors and students learn how to pronounce each other’s names.
To get started, invite students to record their names or create a NameCoach assignment in Canvas. Encourage students to record their names as classes get under way.
