New Versions of MS Office for Mac!

MS Office 2008 for Mac now available!

Although MS Office 2007 for Windows has been available for a while, it's been a long time coming for those on the Mac-side of things, but Microsoft has finally released Office 2008 for Mac. The being made available is Office 2008 Standard and is freely available for all IU affiliates. For the IU community both Windows and Mac versions of MS Office are available for download at the IUware website.

The new version of Office 2008 for Mac has many new features all which bring it up to similar functionality with MS Office 2007 for Windows. This new version is completely compatible with MS Office 2007 for Windows files (docx, xlsx, pptx).

UPDATE (02/05/2008):

This IUware installer incorporates a custom fix for the security issue detailed in the following article: Security issue in MS Office 2008 Installer for Mac.

The original installer provided by Microsoft to IUware prior to 02/05/08 did not contain this fix. If you have previously installed Office 2008 you should run this custom installer found here: Office 2008 Standard Security Fix.

Thanks,
-IC Staff

New staff, new blog, same great taste :)

Willkommen!

The Office of Instructional Consulting (IC) in the School of Education has created a new blog, and merged my previous blog (Pedagogy 2.0) into this one. So at this point we at the IC would like to welcome our new readers in the SoE, and wish our existing readers well in the hopes that they have wandered over from the old blog.

I would also like to take this moment to introduce the new members of the IC staff. Please help me welcome our new GA Peter van Leusen. Peter comes to us from Germany (by way of Delaware and Kentucky), and is a first-year doctoral student in IST. My name is Mark Millard, and I will be serving as the Assistant Director of the IC. Mark and Peter will be joining Dr. Karen Hallett (IC Director), and Ji Young Chong (GA), who are continuing in their current positions. Please stop in and say hello.

Best,
Mark
