Google Keep - Note Taking

How nice would it be if we were offered a service that would help take notes? How awesome would it be if that service was linked to an email account that has unlimited cloud storage? Well, folks, that time is here. Be sure to download Google Keep, or use it in your browser, to help organize your academic life! Google Keep allows you to create specific labels to help you organize, allows you to add handwritten notes (with supported accessories), add images to notes, share your notes with others, record audio for your note, and more. All of these notes and their attachments are stored in your Google Drive, which has unlimited cloud storage due to us being in higher education!

Be sure to utilize these amazing features that Google gives Emporia State University students. Follow this link to learn more about Google Keep.

Web Presence Update!

As the Fall semester is in full-go, I am sure many of those here at Emporia State are wondering... What is going on with the websites? Luckily, we provide a web page, Web Presence Projects, that provides information on Hornet 365 and our public website. Examples of information provided are timelines, future enhancements, progress pages, and much more. We're very excited that Hornet 365 had a successful launch, and we are excited to launch the public website!

Don't forget to provide any feedback on our website by using this form. This helps us determine what you all want and helps us fix any bugs/issues. Good luck this semester, pay attention to the coming changes to Emporia State's web presence, and Stingers Up!

New Hornet 365

A couple weeks ago we unveiled our most up-to-date version of Hornet 365. The latest version includes upgrades to accessibility, loading speeds, and even more helpful 'tiles' for each page. Every day we work on adding more content to create an even better University Portal. The feedback we have received for Hornet 365 has been helpful with a lot of great suggestions that we've been able to immediately add to the site. We thrive on the feedback because that is our best way to satisfy our audience, you. Within the first seven days of launch, Hornet 365 had over 10,000 pageviews! This is great to see as this University Portal will be the easiest way to find any online service that the university provides. We're very happy with the results thus far, but we are always looking to improve our services. Head over to hornet.emporia.edu to check it out and leave feedback!
