After a late push in May to enroll people in SharkPass, we’re pleased to report that everyone at Simmons is now protected by two-step verification. This added step when logging into services keeps your information—as well as sensitive College data—safer than ever in the face of frequent cyber attacks.

As a reminder, please take a moment to add a backup device to SharkPass—like a landline phone—or send yourself backup codes. Having a backup means that you’ll still be able to log in even if you don’t have access to your phone or if you get a new phone and haven’t yet registered it in SharkPass. If you get a new device, remember to register it (see step-by-step iPhone and Android instructions) and download the Duo Mobile app for iPhone or Android.

If you need any help with two-step verification, contact the Service Desk at 617-521-2222 and our technicians can guide you through the process.

If you haven’t enrolled in SharkPass two-step verification yet, you only have a week left to take action.

To enroll, visit sharkpass.simmons.edu and follow the step-by-step instructions. Be sure to have your mobile device with you before getting started. When you enroll, you should also add a backup device (like a landline phone) or send yourself backup codes. Having a backup means that you’ll still be able to log in even if your primary device isn’t nearby or if its battery is dead. To get help, contact the Service Desk at 617-521-2222and our technicians can guide you through the process.

We strongly encourage you to enroll as soon as possible. On June 1, anyone with a Simmons account who hasn’t signed up will be automatically enrolled. This means that you’ll have to set up SharkPass before you can log into Simmons’ web-based services, including email, Simmons Connection, and AARC.

In the asynchronous classroom you may find yourself asking: Are my students really getting it? How will I know?

This session will showcase effective ways to engage the student with the material even when they are not being graded.

It will highlight interactive delivery methods such as animated case studies, student panels, branching and gaming scenarios—all with checkpoint options that require the students to interact with the content and each other.

This session is open to ALL faculty—whether you teach online or on-campus. Visit the Faculty Fellows Hub to get complete details on all the sessions being offered.
