Atomic Learning is now available both on-campus and off-campus with your BigRedID! Within MyDenison, simply select “Atomic Learning” from the My Apps dropdown list and a new tab will open and you will automatically be signed in to Atomic Learning.

Denison provides access to Atomic Learning – a third party service with a large collection of online tutorials on software and technology topics – to Denison students, faculty, staff at no charge. The content is provided in brief 1-5 minute video segments organized into larger courses so you can find a quick answer to a specific question or take more time to learn an application in greater depth.

Previously Atomic Learning was only easily accessible on-campus. ITS is pleased to open up the service so it can be accessed both on- and off-campus through MyDenison. Please note, the prior URL to Atomic Learning (www.atomiclearning.com/highed) will no longer provide access to the service. Please use the “Atomic Learning” link in the “My Apps” dropdown list in MyDenison.

ITS has received numerous reports of a new phishing attack that is being directed towards Denison email accounts. This one has a subject of “[Office360] Email Account Disability!” and provides a link to “Enhance to new version of Microsoft Office 365”.

This is another scam email. Please DO NOT REPLY or CLICK THE LINK in the email. Instead, in Gmail please click the dropdown arrow next to the Reply icon and select “Report Spam” or “Report Phishing” to report the email to Google.

If you have already clicked on a suspicious link, please…

• change your BigRedID password immediately (in MyDenison, choose “My Apps” then “Change my BigRedID password”)
• contact the ITS Help Desk if you are concerned that your system may be infected.
