Zoom: I am struggling with poor performance when learning from home, what can I check?

Learning form home relies on a good internet connection, there are times of the day when this may slow down which could be contributing to poor experience when zooming into classes. A good connection is needed for zoom, anything with a download and upload speed of 4-5 Mbps. The higher the number the better the connection. If multiple people are using the internet at the same time this may also be a factor in why performance may be poor.

General Assistance & FAQ

How Do I Repair My Device?

As BYOD devices are purchased external to the college they come with a warranty and manufacturer guarantee bound to them. If you encounter a fault with your device we recommend getting in touch directly with the manufacturer for the fastest response, rather than talking to the place you bought it from as this can delay the repair.

For Apple devices we always recommend talking with Apple first and allow them to diagnose the fault remotely if possible. If they are unable to do this they can then direct you to their approved and authorised repair agent. If you take it back to the place you bought it from such as JB HiFi or Harvey Norman we have observed that the wait time is extended by several weeks. For a fast and quick repair click here to start the process with Apple.

While the device is away the college can prepare a loan device to ensure schoolwork and homework are not interrupted. These devices are for 2 weeks but can be extended if the repair is taking some time to complete - simply drop into the ICT helpdesk with the loan unit and we can perform a quick check and then extend the loan. 

Requesting Access To Blocked Websites

We are able to unblock websites that show a message advising the website is blocked. All requests need to be sent from a member of staff to ictservices@tatachilla.sa.edu.au with the website URL being access, the year levels JS, MS or SS that it to be unblocked for and a timeframe. Most websites are simple to do, however there may be some with different content that may cause it to be blocked by several rules and may need some additional work.

Using Social Media, iMessage, And Similar Services

These platforms are not available on the college network

Phishing Emails

Phishing emails are emails designed to capture your information by appearing real, when in fact they are not. There are thousands of different types but generally they ask you to do something like click a link, open an attachment, update your details or act urgently due to something happening. Here are some good rules of thumb to follow:

Too Good To Be True - Lucrative offers and eye-catching or attention-grabbing statements are designed to attract people’s attention immediately. For instance, many claim that you have won an iPhone, a lottery, or some other lavish prize. Just don't click on any suspicious emails. Remember that if it seems to good to be true, it probably is!
Sense of Urgency - A favorite tactic amongst cybercriminals is to ask you to act fast because the super deals are only for a limited time. Some of them will even tell you that you have only a few minutes to respond. When you come across these kinds of emails, it's best to just ignore them. Sometimes, they will tell you that your account will be suspended unless you update your personal details immediately. Most reliable organizations give ample time before they terminate an account and they never ask patrons to update personal details over the Internet. When in doubt, visit the source directly rather than clicking a link in an email.
Hyperlinks - A link may not be all it appears to be. Hovering over a link shows you the actual URL where you will be directed upon clicking on it. It could be completely different or it could be a popular website with a misspelling, for instance www.bankofarnerica.com - the 'm' is actually an 'r' and an 'n', so look carefully.
Attachments - If you see an attachment in an email you weren't expecting or that doesn't make sense, don't open it! They often contain payloads like ransomware or other viruses. The only file type that is always safe to click on is a .txt file.
Unusual Sender - Whether it looks like it's from someone you don't know or someone you do know, if anything seems out of the ordinary, unexpected, out of character or just suspicious in general don't click on it!

How Do I Check The Warranty On My Apple Device?

How Often Should I Restart My Device?

It is recommended to restart your device regularly. Sleep technology and power saving on laptops has come a long way in the past few years. However a restart of your laptop cleans the slate, clears out any potential problems and ensures that your device is ready to go anytime. A significant number of issues can be prevented by a simple restart each day.

A good practise that users can employ is that at the end of the day, save your work and shut your device down. When you start again in the morning turn it back on and it will be in the best state for you to begin your day.

iPads don't need a restart as often as laptops do, however a restart can resolve any issues you may with apps crashing or the device slowing down. See here on how to restart.

When saving your files, simple is always better. We recommend separating each year into its own folder such as 2019, 2020 etc and then each subject in that year into its own folder like Maths, English or Drama. Each document you make should also be named according to the assignment, such as 12English_Shrek_criticalreview.docx

This will help you not only navigate to where you need quickly and without guessing but will also mean if you need to search for a 12 English document it will appear easily.

ViVi

Advice For Smoother Video Playback On ViVi

  • Open the ViVi Client
  • Login if required
  • Select the room that you are in
  • Enter the PIN for the room displayed on screen
  • Present your screen and ensure it shows on the tv/projector
  • Click room on the ViVi client
  • Select Movie Mode

Note: this adds a delay into your presentation, meaning you can move your mouse on your laptop and it may take 1-3 seconds to happen on the screen. For long presentations of video content this delay may expand to absorb any buffering and stop/start issues with playback.

Advice For Smoother DVD Playback On ViVi

DVD playback through ViVi can sometimes stutter during playback and stop and start and generally make for poor viewing at times. This is because the Vivi is trying to play the DVD and present your screen at the same time, but purely depends on the DVD quality as well.

We highly recommend if you cannot find the movie on ClickView (You can ask the library staff to upload your DVD there, making it easier the next time you need to view it) to turn Movie Mode on within the Vivi software. This is designed exactly for this scenario and adds an extra allowance into the Vivi to be able to absorb and take away the stutter.

After connecting to the room and presenting our screen:

  • Click the Room button
  • Check the box next to movie mode

Please note this adds a small delay, otherwise known as a buffer, into the playback. Normally from 1-5 seconds, this is normal and not your computer being slow.

How Do I Connect To ViVi?

  • On your device, open the ViVi App.
  • If required, log in with your College username and password.
  • Select the section of the College, then the classroom that you are located in.
  • A 4-digit PIN will be displayed on the ViVi screen, enter that PIN on the ViVi App on your device.
