Technology Advances
Since the launch of the new student portal, mySirius, in June 2006, the University of Northwestern Ohio information technology advancements continue at a rapid pace.
MyUNOH is the campus portal to online student services. The improved customer service for UNOH students has been a tremendous asset. Students now can register and pay for classes online, get their class schedules online, receive financial aid award letters online, and order books for classes online through Barnes and Noble at UNOH.
UNOH online degrees allow students to earn their degree from anywhere in the world. In 2011, UNOH also launched its 100% online MBA program, providing graduate students the option to earn their MBA without stepping foot on campus.
The university has also added Atomic Learning, Presidium, Proquest, SMARTTHINKING, and OhioLINK to its online services. Atomic Learning offers online tutorials for common applications for Microsoft Office products, Digital Imaging like Photoshop, and basic HTML tutorials. Presidium is a 24 x 7 technical support service provided to support students who need assistance with online campus services. Proquest is an online research library allowing students to search through a vast selection of newspaper and magazine articles, as well as text from books. This powerful research tool is a great source for gathering information students need to finish projects and papers. SMARTTHINKING provides live, person-to-person, tutoring over the Internet for help with course work at any time of day or night. UNOH has also recently joined OhioLINK, a collaboration of libraries, which will give its students access to over 46 million resources across Ohio.

Famous quotes containing the words technology and/or advances:
“Technology is not an image of the world but a way of operating on reality. The nihilism of technology lies not only in the fact that it is the most perfect expression of the will to power ... but also in the fact that it lacks meaning.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
“The protection of a ten-year-old girl from her father’s advances is a necessary condition of social order, but the protection of the father from temptation is a necessary condition of his continued social adjustment. The protections that are built up in the child against desire for the parent become the essential counterpart to the attitudes in the parent that protect the child.”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
