What do I need to work remotely?
- A computer
- Internet serviceaccess
- If you have a laptop, it will work with your wireless connection. Depending on the laptop and your router, you may also be able to plug directly into the router (for a more stable connection).
- If you have a desktop computer, you will need to determine whether you can use a network (AKA ethernet) cable or will require a wireless adapter.
- Power
- Please be sure to safeguard your home and your Drew equipment with a surge protector.
- Your Drew login credentials (username and password)
- If you have separate credentials for additional services (ex, PyraMED), be sure you know these as well.
- Everyone enrolled in Duo also needs their Duo approval method (For most people, this is their personal cell phone or a University-provided token.)
- If you will be asked to participate in video calls, you may will need a video camera (webcam) and/or microphone that work with your computer (or a level of comfort using your cell phone with the chosen platform). Laptops usually have this equipment built in.
This list focuses on the technology needs. OWL Labs includes a monitor, headset, keyboard, mouse, desk, chair, lighting and a surge protector in their equipment list. Many articles have been published with recommendations for setting up an office space at home - away from your bedroom is one common suggestion - so that you can work efficiently and comfortably. Here is one home office setup list from OWL Labs.
