PART 2: Technology Back-Up Plan

Unfortunately, computers crash and Internet connections fail—usually at the most inconvenient times. It is important to have a plan in place, just in case. After all, instructors expect assignments to be turned in on time, regardless of technical difficulties. 

Fortunately, there is lots of help available if you know where to look for it. Completing this worksheet and printing it out will provide you with essential information when you most need it. 

Tips: 

  • Update this information each time you revise your plan.
  • Contact your Instructor immediately if you have a technology      emergency, such as if your computer crashes.

  

Walden Website   Addresses

If your computer is not   working, you may need to access your online courses and other university   services from a different computer. Usually, we do not memorize these   addresses as they are bookmarked on the computer. You will need this   information if you lose your bookmarks.

File Backup System

Backup or save your course files weekly to an   external drive (recommended),   recordable CD or DVD, Flash or USB drive, or a cloud service. or other data   storage device. This ensures you will have access to important files even if   you cannot access your computer.

File Backup   Schedule

It is important to back up your files regularly. A   best practice is to select a time and day each week to complete this task,   then write it on your weekly calendar.

Contact Information

It is important to have contact information printed   out for reference in case of a technology failure.

Tip: Contact your Instructor immediately when you have a technology   emergency, such as if your computer crashes. Check the spelling of the   instructor’s name in the email address. A typo in an email address means the email won’t get through.
