Message from Information Communication Technology Services:
Wireless Service
In a collaborative effort between ICTS and Hewlett-Packard
(in association with Commander Australia Ltd), a wireless
service to the UNSW@ADFA network has been undergoing trials
(as a Proof of Concept) since late November 2005. The trials
are focused on security, performance and reliability in
the Library and the outdoor concessionaire area. The trials
will continue until the service meets the requirements of
security, performance and reliability before release to
the wider UNSW@ADFA community.
Computer Based Training Service
ICTS has established a computer based training service
that will provide interactive training packages for staff
and students on the campus.
At this stage, the service provides courses on the use
of Microsoft XP and the Microsoft Office 2003 suite of software.
As new computer based courses become available and are requested
by the community, they will be included in the portfolio
of interactive training courses.
The service can be accessed using staff terminals located
on the campus at: www.unsw.adfa.edu.au/ict/ict_online/cbt.html
Automatic Password Reset Service
ICTS will provide the automatic password reset function
to assist users that cannot recall their ADFA password to
reset the password themselves instead of contacting the
ICTS Service Desk to do the work. This functionality will
be included in the Self Help Online service shown at www.unsw.adfa.edu.au/ict/ict_online/index.html
The service and documentation on its use will be available
at the ICTS Service Desk by Session 1 2006.

Student Exchange
A French researcher (Alain Yaouanc, e-mail: alain.yaouanc@cea.fr)
based at Grenoble has contacted me concerning the possibility
of one or both of his daughters spending some time with
an English-speaking family during the 2006 European summer.
It could be as exchange or otherwise. Julie is 18 and at
first year university level, studying maths, physics and
chemistry. She stayed in the USA for one month in the summer
of 2004. Isabelle is 16 years old. She is in an applied
art section before the university level and has never practiced
English in a real situation. Both of them went to Russia
for about two weeks last year. In addition to English, they
learn Russian. They are quite serious girls and are used
to travel. If you are interested in helping out or arranging
an exchange, feel free to contact Alain directly or give
Glen Stewart, School of PEMS a call (6268 8770, g.stewart@adfa.edu.au).
