Email and online scams (phishing attacks) are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Two-step login (Duo), also known as two-factor authentication, adds a second layer of security when you log into secure systems. It combines an additional verification with your username and passphrase, and helps prevent anyone but you from logging in. Beginning February 2, 2017, CAS logins for all IU faculty, staff, student employees, retirees, and affiliates will require Two-Step Login (Duo).
At Indiana University, Two-step login (Duo) adds this second layer of security for some university systems, and also for your personal information and financial data (Bursar direct deposit, for example). The Duo Mobile app for smartphones or tablets is recommended, but if you don't have such a device, regular cell phones and landlines are also supported. For step-by-step instructions for the various ways to begin, see Getting started with Two-step login (Duo) at IU.
The UITS Support Center will have a support table stationed in the Center for Teaching and Learning located on the first floor of University Library in UL1125 on Wednesday, February 1, 2017 from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. Come get help with your Duo setup, adding a second device to your profile, and getting answers to any other questions you have about Duo authentication.

Promoting academic and professional integrity in students is a desired, but implicit, course outcome in every discipline. A common form of academic misconduct particularly in writing-intensive courses is plagiarism. This behavior is not always obvious when you are in the midst of grading student work. This workshop will provide an overview of the types of academic misconduct defined by IUPUI's code of conduct, specifically discussing issues of plagiarism, and consider best practices to prevent, manage, and report plagiarism. Attendees will learn how to use Turnitin, IU's plagiarism detection tool within their Canvas course. Attendees will have the opportunity to examine and interpret Turnitin's report for a variety of example compositions.
