SIS Tutorials

Welcome to the School of Information Sciences Tech Tutorials

Here we provide tutorials for software commonly used in courses at SIS, help walk you through any issues you may be experiencing with software in a virtual meeting setting, and can help you communicate with C&IT if you need help being more prescise.
