COA hosts four monthly collaboration calls:
Coffee & Conversation – Hosted the first Friday of the month
Each monthly call is themed and serves as a way for SUNY COA Members to informally connect on a regular basis. COA Coffee and Conversation started out of a desire to establish more connections across all of SUNY. This was the first COA Collaboration group and its success led to the development of other groups.
TeamDynamix (TDX) Collaboration Group – Hosted the second Friday of the month
With the shift from other ITSM tools by many campuses to the TeamDynamix platform, this group has been formed to provide a forum for new and existing TeamDynamix campuses to make the best of their instances and processes. This is a great place to share ITSM, asset management, change management, and project management best practices and experiences. The facilitators for this group are Aimee Swan (Aimee.Swan@oneonta.edu ) from ITEC and Varya McCaslin-Doyle from Cortland (varya.mccaslin-doyle@cortland.edu)
M365 Collaboration Group – Hosted the third Friday of the month
Modeled after the National Microsoft Office Hours, this collaboration group spawned out of changes in the Microsoft Campus Agreement entitlements. This group informally discusses different Microsoft technologies from the on-campus perspective. Community members present and share tips, tricks, best practices, and we all celebrate each other’s successes. This group has also been a big success as we see participation grow each month. Want to share something awesome your campus is doing or looking for a group to discuss a particular topic? Contact the M365 Group facilitators Deb McClenon from Oneonta (Deb.McClenon@oneonta.edu) and Krystal Perlman from Brockport (Kperlman@brockport.edu)
Google Collaboration Group – Hosted the fourth Friday of the month
Modeled after our M365 Collaboration group, this collaboration group is focused on all things Google and maybe a little bit of how to get Google and M365 to play together. We hope to apply the same formula that has seen such great success in assisting campuses leveraging the Google Suite of collaboration services. The facilitators for this group are Tina Tomassetti from Broome (tomassettitm@sunybroome.edu) and Deb McClenon from Oneonta (Deb.McClenon@oneonta.edu)
