Dissemination of University Notices
ITS will assist to distribute university notices in a timely manner through the eNotices System.
Increase of Computer Resources
ITS will keep close monitoring on the usage trend of the campus network, HKUVPN, SIS, Moodle, Panopto, HCM and other mission critical systems and will respond immediately to introduce any possible facility enhancement whenever a need arises. These could include increasing the email quota and disk quota of Moodle for staff and students to facilitate their teaching and learning online.
