Setting Up Multi-Factor Authentication

Before you Begin:

Review the information provided in the What is Multi-Factor Authentication and Why Do We Need IT? article prior to going through these instructions. Also, take the time to review the instructions before going through the steps.

Instructions:

Everyone must visit the MFA Setup Page to configure at lease one secondary verification method. You can choose to use the Microsoft Authenticator app (Option 1 below) and/or choose a text or call to your phone (Option 2 below). Best practice is to set up both using the Microsoft Authenticator App as the default method with a phone verification (SMS or Call) as a backup.

Please read the instructions below carefully prior to following the steps.

Option 1: Microsoft Authenticator App

Once installed, this will be set as your default sign-in method. You can change this if you prefer to use a different method as your default.

  1. Visit the MFA Setup link and sign in with your Office 365 username ([username]@goucher.edu) and password. Click NEXT.
  2. From the Security info page, click Add Method then select Authenticator App.
  3. Then click the Add button.
  4. You will then be prompted to download the app to your phone. From your phone, launch the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store.
  5. Search for and download the Microsoft Authenticator app. Once downloaded, click Next on the Microsoft Authenticator window on your computer. Then click Next again.
  6. Open the Microsoft Authenticator app and select to allow notifications (if prompted).
  7. Select Add Account from the Customize and control icon (3 vertical dots) in the upper-right corner.
  8. Then select Work or school account (Android) or Scan a QR Code (iPhone).
    NOTE: If this is the first time setting up the Microsoft Authenticator app, you might receive a prompt asking whether to allow the app to access your camera (iOS) or to allow the app to take pictures and record video (Android).  Please select “Allow” so the authenticator app can access your camera to take a picture of the QR code in the next step.
  9. Scan the QR code provided on the screen which will add the account to the device automatically. Once this is complete, click Next on your computer.
  10. From your phone, click Approve to allow your account to be added to the Authenticator app.

Tip: If you are not able to scan the QR code or are denied access, you can still receive approval by providing the one-time password code found in the Microsoft Authenticator app.

Option 2: Phone (As Default or Backup Method)

As a backup option to the Microsoft Authenticator app, it is recommended to add a second method. To receive a phone call or text to verify your identity, follow these steps:

  1. Visit the MFA Setup link and sign in with your Office 365 username ([username]@goucher.edu) and password.
  2. For first time users: Click NEXT, and then click “I want to set up a different method” link.


    For users who already setup the Authenticator app    : From the Security info page, click Add Method

  3. Select Phone from the dropdown.

  4. Enter your cell phone number and choose the option to either Text me a Code or Call Me.
    • If you choose the text option, you will receive a message on your phone with the code you need to enter.
    • If you choose the call option, you will get a phone call for verification. Please follow the prompts to continue.

Your Security info page should look like this once both methods are set up:

Verifying Your Identity

Once all the methods are set up, you can then attempt to access your Goucher email. If you are off-campus, you should be prompted to enter your password, then an option should appear to verify your identity. Here’s how the app should look once it’s been set up:

If the authenticator app is installed on your phone and set as the default sign-in method, then you’ll be prompted to approve access. If you selected a different identity method, then a verification code will be sent via text or phone call.

You will only be prompted for MFA once the feature is enabled for your account. If you do not receive a prompt while off-campus then it hasn’t been enabled for you yet.

Troubleshooting tip: If you already have your Goucher email setup on your phone, you may experience a problem with the authentication. If that is the case, remove the Goucher account from your email app then add it back again.

For instructions on how to remove and add your Goucher account back on your phone please check the following link https://blogs.goucher.edu/knowledgebase/2018/07/05/adding-your-office-365-email-account-to-your-mobile-device/

Please contact the Help Desk at helpdesk@goucher.edu if you experience a problem during setup.

PDFelement FAQs

PDFelement is an alternative application to Adobe Acrobat. It allows you to create, edit, sign, convert, and OCR documents. We are currently testing this application with a limited number of licenses. Here are some common questions that will help current users.

What is the difference between PDFelement and Acrobat?

The main difference is that Acrobat is a product of Adobe and PDFelement is provided through a company called Wondershare. Wondershare has created PDFelement as a low-cost alternative to Acrobat while providing all of the same features that Acrobat provides. Anything that you’ve been able to do in Acrobat, you will be able to do with PDFelement.

I need to add my signature to documents. Can I get a PDFelement license?

Not necessarily. Since we have limited licenses, we can only provide it to faculty and staff who do a lot of editing of PDFs. You do not need PDFelement to add signatures to a document. Adobe Reader provides that functionality as well as commenting and some editing features. If you’re not sure if Adobe Reader will do everything you need, please contact the Help Desk for guidance.

I get a message about a watermark when I try to save a document? How do I fix this?

You could be getting this message because PDFelement is unable to verify the license. Please check the upper right corner to make sure that your username is listed. If it states “Log in” then your license isn’t applied. Click the Log In button and enter your Wondershare ID and password. Note: This is different from your Goucher username and password.

My Goucher username and password aren’t working to login. Do I need to reset my password?

Your Goucher username and password will not work with PDFelement. When the license was first assigned to you, you should have received an email with your Wondershare ID and your initial password. Your Wondershare ID will always be your Goucher email address in the format firstname.lastname@goucher.edu. You should always change your initial password to prevent anyone else from logging in as you. If you can’t remember your Wondershare password, click Log In to access the Account window. Then click the Forgot Password? link and follow the steps to reset your password.

I get an error when I try to add a signature after combining PDFs? What am I doing wrong?

You are doing the steps correctly. There is a known bug that is causing the error. Here is a workaround until the bug is fixed:

  1. Open the first document in PDFelement.
  2. Click the thumbnail view.
  3. Right-click the document and choose Insert pages and select From PDF and select the second document.
  4. Click OK to complete the insert process.
  5. Follow steps 2-4 again for any additional documents that need to be inserted.
  6. Select the document in thumbnail view go through the steps of applying the signature.

How can I find out how to use PDFelement?

Wondershare has an extensive video library on their YouTube channel. You can access it by going to Wondershare PDFelement.

Can I install PDFelement on more than one computer?

You can install PDFelement on as many computers as you like. However, Wondershare only allows you to be logged in on two computers at a time. So, if you want to use a different computer then you’ll need to log off one or the license will be revoked as soon as you sign in on another computer.

PDFelement takes a while to load on my computer. Why is that?

We’ve noticed that this happens mainly on Windows computers for some reason. Although Wondershare stated that they improved the performance, it still opens slower than expected. One reason why it could take longer is because once PDFelement launches, it has to check in with the Wondershare licensing server to make sure that a) your license is valid and b) your license is not active on more than two devices. Once it does that, any subsequent documents that you open or save tend to process much quicker.

I’m getting errors for things I’ve done before. What could be causing this?

Make sure you’re running the latest version of PDFelement. Wondershare will usually prompt if there’s an update. You can select “Later” but then you’re also be delaying a fix that you need. Take the time to run the updates as they come quite regularly. If after installing the latest updates and you still get an error, please open a ticket with our Help Desk so we can reach out to Wondershare support for a possible fix.

Join A Test Meeting

You can join a test Zoom meeting to familiarize yourself with Zoom controls and test your microphone/speakers before joining a Zoom meeting. You can also test your video or audio while in a Zoom meeting. Note that users in a Zoom test meeting are added as participants, not hosts, so host features such as sharing and recording are not available for testing.

Use Zoom Outlook Plug-In

The Outlook Plug-in for Zoom is available to add to your Outlook calendar for synchronized meeting scheduling. The plug-in is available to download and install on the Goucher Zoom site meetings screen. When prompted to Sign In, click the “Sign in with SSO” button underneath the password fields, and then type goucher as the company domain to proceed.

Add Live Transcriptions to Your Meeting as a Host

Zoom hosts can enable a side panel in their meetings that automatically transcribes spoken words to text for participants to follow (much like closed captioning).  Here’s how…

IN-MEETING FOR HOSTS

When hosting a meeting, click the LIVE TRANSCRIPT button on the host toolbar (1), and then select ENABLE AUTO-TRANSCRIPTION from the pop-up window (2). If your window is too small to display the entire host toolbar, you will need to click the MORE (3) button first.

IN-MEETING FOR PARTICIPANTS:

When enabled by the host, you will see a notification above Closed Caption/Live Transcript in the meeting controls, informing you that one of these services is available. If live transcription is available, click Live Transcript, and then select Show Subtitle.

 

VIEWING IN CLOUD RECORDINGS:

Audio transcription is turned on for cloud recordings by default*. When recordings are played, the transcribed text appears on the right-hand side of the video. To display the transcript as closed captions while playing a recording, click the CC icon at the bottom right of the screen.
*Note that the audio transcript may take additional time to process after the cloud recording video/audio has processed.

For more detailed information on downloading, viewing, and editing audio transcription saved to a cloud recording, visit this Zoom Support article.

Get Training and Technical Assistance

Have a question about using Zoom? We rely on the Zoom Help Center to provide technical assistance for our Zoom users. Refer to this this page first for helpful instructions, training videos, and answers to questions about how to use Zoom. The video tutorials are particularly useful.

Goucher users can submit a support request to Zoom by online submission or by initiating a chat using the chat bubble available on the Zoom web page.

Questions not answered after contacting the Zoom Help Center should be directed to helpdesk@goucher.edu.

How to Connect to a Remote Mac Lab Computer

Need to access an application that you don’t have installed on your own computer? Here’s a way you can still access the software you need off-campus.

Step 1: Download and Connect to Cisco AnyConnect VPN

You must first connect to the Cisco AnyConnect VPN network so you can connect to the Goucher network. Click the link below if you do not already have the VPN client installed on your personal computer.

Setting Up a VPN Connection

Step 2: Download and Install Teamviewer

In order to connect to a specific computer in a Mac lab, you will need to:

  1. Download and install a free remote client named Teamviewer.
  2. During installation, make sure default installation is selected and then select Personal/Non-commercial use in the How do you want to use Teamviewer? section.
  3. Then select Accept/Finish to complete the install. Windows users, select Yes if you have User Access Control enabled.

Note: you do not need to create an account to use this application.

Step 3: Connect to Mac

A special teamviewer ID is needed to connect to a specific computer. For a list of available Macs with their associated teamviewer ID click the link below:

Teamviewer IDs for DAC

Once you have selected the computer that you would like to connect to, copy the ID and enter it into the Partner ID field in the Control Remote Computer section of the Teamviewer client.

teamviewer window

Make sure that Remote control is selected, then click Connect. A window will appear requesting a password. Enter GoucherRemote2020 in the password field and click Log On to connect.

Enter Password

During Remote Session

Please keep the following items in mind while in your remote session:

  1. There is no sound available. This is not a limitation to Teamviewer. This is just how Macs handle remote sessions.
  2. Do not close the teamviewer client running on the Mac. If you close the client, then it will automatically end your session and no one else will be able to remote until we can re-launch it.
  3. Log in to Creative Cloud with your Adobe ID. If you need to use an Adobe product, you will need to log in to Creative Cloud first. If you do not have an Adobe ID, follow the link to create one.
  4. Deny others from logging in. Teamviewer allows more than one person to log on to the same computer. There is no way for us to prevent this. However, if you are logged in to a Mac and you receive a message that someone wants to connect, simply deny the request so you can continue your session.
  5. Log out of the Mac when done. You must log out of the Mac by going to the Apple menu at the top left of the screen and select Log Out from the menu. DO NOT select any other option. If you do not log out, then this prevents others from logging in after you. Then you can end the Teamviewer remote session.

If you experience any problems during setup or use of the Mac, please send an email to helpdesk@goucher.edu for assistance.

    6. You may be prompted with a security one like the ones below:
      Certificate Warning on MacOS
      Certificate Warning on WindowsClick Continue or Yes depending on which certificate warning your receive. Dismissing this message, in this case, is safe. So, you can connect to the computer.
    7. Once connected, the remote window will appear. Please be patient as it will take some time for you to log onto the computer and for the contents to load.
    8. Once you’re done with your remote session, Go to the Start menu and log out of the computer so it can become available for the next user. DO NOT select any other option.

    If you experience any problems during connection, please contact the Help Desk at helpdesk@goucher.edu for assistance.

How to Install Mac Updates

IMPORTANT MAC UPDATES (January 2021)

As the Spring 2021 semester starts, it is important to make sure that you are running the latest supported version of both Mac OS and Microsoft Office.

In this article, we will cover how to check your current versions, and then perform updates to make sure that you are running the latest supported version.

Please note that as of this time (January 2021), Goucher College is NOT supporting Mac OS 11, Big Sur, due to incompatibilities with Goucher specific systems.

HOW TO CHECK YOUR OS VERSION

  1. Click on the Apple menu at the upper left corner of the screen and choose “About This Mac.”
  2. The window that pops up will show you what version of MacOS you are running. Goucher IT suggests running MacOS 10.14.6 Mojave or 10.15 Catalina.
  3. If you are running an earlier version of Mojave (10.14.1 through 1.14.5), then you can update by clicking the “Software Update” button.
  4. If you are running an earlier version of MacOS (10.9 through 10.13), then follow the instructions in the next section to update your OS.

HOW TO UPDATE TO CATALINA

  1. Before you begin, it is best to make sure that any important files on your computer are backed up, whether that means you upload them to Box, another server, copy them to a USB drive, or anywhere else off your computer. Problems and failures are not expected, but it is best to be prepared in the unlikely event that they occur.
  2. Make sure you will not need to use your computer for up to one hour, this update can take a long time to complete.
  3. Use any web browser, navigate to https://apps.apple.com/us/app/macos-catalina/id1466841314?ls=1&mt=12. The Mac App Store will open and then click on the download button in the upper right corner of the window.

  1. After the download is complete, a window will pop up welcoming you to MacOS Catalina and guide you through the process. Continue through the installer process until a timer appears.
  2. Your computer will restart multiple times during the install process. This is normal. When the process is complete, you will be at a setup window, where your Mac will ask you about some personalized settings, such as choosing to use Dark Mode, or allowing Siri to be active. You can choose whatever you like.

UPDATING OFFICE TO THE LATEST SUPPORTED VERSION

  1. Open any Microsoft Office application. In this example, we will use Word, but you can use whatever application you would like.
  2. Open the Help menu at the top of the screen, and choose “Check for Updates”
  3. The Microsoft AutoUpdater will run, check what versions of applications you are running, and allow you to update them. Please make sure all of your work in any Microsoft Office application is saved before continuing.
  4. You may need to run the updater multiple times to be fully up to date. Please run the updater multiple times, until it informs you that all apps are up-to-date.

How can I make a Portfolium assignment in Canvas (faculty)?

The best way to create a graded Portfolium assignment is to have students share the link to their uploaded project with you. When a URL is submitted as an assignment, Canvas takes a screenshot of the web page at the time it was submitted. Below are the steps to creating an online assignment in Canvas and a screenshot to use as a guide for getting started.

  • Begin by adding an assignment as usual.
  • Set the following settings:
    • Set Submission Type to “Online”
    • Online Entry Options will appear. Check “Website URL”.
  • Complete the rest of the assignment settings as you like, and then Save & Publish.

As long as students haven’t set their project’s visibility to “private”, you will be able to view their project from the URL they submit in the assignment area. You can even view and grade their work from Speedgrader like any other assignment. For more information, visit https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-an-online-assignment/ta-p/950#select_online_submission_type.

Can I add my Resume (and other stuff) to my Portfolium (student)?

To edit your Profile section, you must first login to Portfolium. Once you are logged in you can add and edit your profile’s information such as Education, Volunteer Work, Accomplishments, and more!

Just pick and choose which modules you’d like to add to your profile. You can even upload a resume you’d like to share,  as well as edit and attach work samples into your portfolio to show off some of your great work!

For more details visit:

 

How do I make a collaborative project?

Want to highlight the collaboration done in a project? No problem!

Teammates in Portfolium are the collaborators, friends, and classmates that you’ve worked with on a project. Just tag them in you entry to show who you’ve collaborated with (Note: the tag entry you make will show up in your teammate’s  Portfolium as well).

To tag your teammate(s) in your entry,  just add the name(s) of your teammate(s) in the Teammates section near the bottom of page when in Project Editor mode (Note: the teammates you tag must be a member of Portfolium).

Quick Answer: Go to Me > Settings > Privacy

Privacy is part of your profile settings. Find your profile picture in the upper right corner and select  Me > Settings > Privacy. If you check the option labeled “Only allow people I’m connected with to view my profile“, a link will appear under this option for you to use to share your portfolio with anyone you wish, whether they have their own Canvas eportfolio or not.

For more details, visit: https://portfolium.com/settings/privacy

How can I change a single project’s visibility setting (student)?

Adjust the privacy options of your entries by using the settings cog in the upper-right hand corner in your entry detail’s page.
