Last winter, the College of Medicine reached out to Learning and Collaborative Environments (LCE) in OTDI to assist with an audiovisual technology upgrade in one of its large, 254-seat lecture spaces in Meiling Hall. The college was interested in leveraging the AV standards that the LCE team has developed for approximately 310 classroom pool spaces across the Columbus campus.
The Meiling system was completely redesigned. Most notably, it now can better support a remote experience for students and can produce higher quality recordings.

The Time Tracking Funding Overrides report has been updated so users can now search for worktag overrides for positions they own. This can be run each pay period to ensure biweekly workers have not erroneously entered worktag overrides on their timesheets. Payroll accounting adjustments should be processed to correct erroneous overrides.
Historically the report returned all workers with time entered but a new prompt titled "Only Include Time Blocks with Funding Overrides" will narrow results down to return only workers with worktag overrides.
As a reminder, the best option is to run the report by the "Organizations by Type" prompt to capture all the positions owned by your college or cost center.
Beginning Wednesday, November 20 , users will be required to enter the five required worktags (company, cost center, fund, balancing unit, function) for costing allocations and period activity pay. These worktags must be entered on each row of costing. If you have any questions regarding worktag entry, please reach out to your Cost Center Manager.
