Recently, some users at Wright State began receiving emails from
Microsoft recommending a new service for email called “Clutter”. Clutter
attempts to remove items from your Office 365 inbox that you are likely
to ignore and places them into their own folder. If you receive an email
about Clutter and click on the link to sign up, you are taken to a log
in screen that then asks for your Office 365 log in information. If you
are already logged in to your Office 365 account, then you will be taken
directly to a page allowing you to enable Clutter.
At this time, CaTS has not used or tested the Clutter service, and we
are not sure of the impact this service will have on your email inbox.
Also, please note that Clutter is not turned on by default for your
account; you must take action to do so. As we obtain more information
about this service we will keep the university updated.
If you have already enabled Clutter and would like to disable it,
here’s how:
1) Log in to your Office 365 account either through WINGS or by going
out http://outlook.wright.edu
2) Click on the gear icon in the top right corner
3) Click on “Options”
4) Click on “Mail” and then “Automatic Processing”
5) Click on “Clutter” and choose whether to enable or disable the service
6) Click “Save”

CaTS will be replacing our existing WINGS portal platform with a new Drupal-based portal. Many of you may know that Drupal was used to rebuild the university’s websites over the past few years. The primary reason for this WINGS portal platform replacement is that the existing platform is antiquated, inflexible and costly.
Course Studio, which is built directly into the current WINGS portal, will not be available in the new Drupal-based portal. Many have felt for some time, including sentiments frequently expressed by students, that consolidation into a single Learning Management System would be beneficial. The Center for Teaching and Learning has a plan to help transition Course Studio users to Pilot. This plan includes the availability of a simplified course home page, along with relevant training and workshops. The CTL will be providing more information on this plan soon.
Currently, CaTS anticipates releasing a beta version of the new WINGS portal in early 2015. Both the existing WINGS portal with Course Studio and the new portal will be available through 2015 Spring Semester. No Course Studio classes will be generated for the 2015 Summer Semester. The old WINGS platform will be retired during the Summer Semester, allowing faculty and anyone with a group in Group Studio to collect any content of value. Once WINGS is retired, the content in Course Studio and Groups will no longer be available. CaTS will soon be announcing a new collaborative platform that can serve as a replacement for WINGS Groups.
Finally, CaTS and CTL will be soliciting feedback from the campus community over the coming months. We hope that you will actively participate, helping us to make this transition as easy as possible for all of you.
