Furman provides a number of technology tools to aid collaboration.
Blogs
ITS provides a free WordPress blog server for faculty and staff use. See our ITS Self Help Guide, or contact the IT Service Center for more about Furman blogs.
Box
The Furman Box is our premiere collaboration tool. All students, faculty, and staff have access to Box accounts. You can share information and have threaded discussions with colleagues on campus, and also with people outside the campus community. For more information about Box, please see our IT Self Help Guide or contact the IT Service Center.
Moodle
All Furman classes automatically have space in our Moodle Learning Management System.
Shared Network Drives
Each Furman department has a network storage space for sharing information within the department (a.k.a., “the Q: Drive”.) This space is not intended for personal file storage and is only accessible using a Furman username and password. For more information about using network shares, see our IT Self Help Guide.
Virtual Private Networking (VPN)
Virtual Private Networking (VPN) lets off-campus faculty and staff securely connect to protected Furman network resources. These resources include shared network drives and campus administrative systems. Please refer to our IT Self Help Guide for more information.
Web Content Management System
Academic and administrative departments use the University’s web content management system (WordPress) to create department web sites. The www.furman.edu website is managed by University Communications
