|content=<br />
<hr /><br />
===Step-by-Step Guides===<br />
====Creating & Designing====<br />
Forms start at '''[https://forms.office.com forms.office.com]'''<br />
* '''[https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/create-a-form-with-microsoft-forms-4ffb64cc-7d5d-402f-b82e-b1d49418fd9d Create a new form]:''' Choose between a standard form or a self-grading quiz.<br />
* '''[https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/use-branching-logic-in-microsoft-forms-16634fda-eddb-44da-856d-6a8213f0d8bb Add branching logic:]''' Send respondents to different questions based on their previous answers.<br />
* '''[[Using the Evergreen Form Template]]:''' Ensure your form meets college branding and security standards.<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
====Sharing & Security====<br />
* '''[https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/adjust-your-form-or-quiz-settings-in-microsoft-forms-f255a4ba-e03c-4e12-b880-f7e8b62e0665 Adjusting Settings:]''' Control who can see your form (Evergreen-only vs. Anyone with the link) and set closing dates.<br />
* '''[https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/share-and-collaborate-911d4817-6bbb-4286-80a7-3251afd89e9d Sharing for collaboration:]''' Invite colleagues to help edit the form questions.<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
====Send & Collect Responses====<br />
When you are ready to go live, click the '''Collect Responses''' button.<br />
* '''[https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/send-a-form-and-collect-responses-2eaf3294-0cff-492d-884d-a1dee909e845 Send and Collect Responses]:''' choose who can respond and how to send your form.<br />
* '''Shorten URL:''' Check the Shorten URL box to generate a cleaner, more professional link that is easier to share in emails or on printed materials.<br />
* '''File Uploads & Security:''' If you need to add a File Upload question, Microsoft requires the form to be set to '''"Only people in my organization can respond."'''<br />
** '''Why?''' Because uploaded files are stored in a secure SharePoint or OneDrive folder, the system must authenticate the user to ensure the files are handled safely and mapped to the correct respondent.<br />
**''Note: You cannot collect attachments from "Anonymous" or external respondents.''<br />
<br /><br />

[ ] Is the '''Shorten URL''' box checked?<br /><br />
[ ] Did you '''Preview''' both the computer and mobile views?<br />

<br />
====Managing Responses====<br />
* '''[https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/check-and-share-your-form-results-02859424-341d-406f-b32a-9a0fbaf357af Check and share your form results]:''' <br />
**Open the form for which you want to review the results, and then select '''View responses'''.<br />
** See a high-level summary of charts and graphs directly in your browser.<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
----<br />
===Best Practices===<br />
====Collaborative Ownership (Don't Fly Solo)====<br />
A common mistake is creating a form under an individual's account. If that person leaves the college or is unavailable, the form and its data become inaccessible.<br />
* '''Best Practice:''' Create a form in a Microsoft 365 Group or transfer ownership to a Team.<br />
* '''Why?''' This ensures that all members of your department or project team can manage the form and view responses, preventing "orphaned" forms.<br />
* Learn how to '''[https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/move-your-form-to-a-group-921a6361-a4e5-44ea-bce9-c4ed63aa54b4 Move your Form to a Group]'''<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
====Working with Results & Excel====<br />
Every form automatically compiles results into an Excel spreadsheet. You can view these in real-time.<br />
<br />
<div class="alert alert-danger" role="alert"><br />
⚠️ '''CRITICAL: Do Not Edit the Linked Spreadsheet'''<br /><br />
Manual changes to headers or row structure in Excel will break the connection to your form.<br />
</div><br />
To keep your data syncing correctly, '''do not manually add columns, delete rows, or rename headers''' directly in the Excel file that is connected to your form.<br />
<br />
* Doing so '''can corrupt the sync connection''', causing new form responses to stop appearing in your spreadsheet.<br />
* If you need to analyze or manipulate the data, Export a copy of the data or use a separate "Pivot" sheet to pull data from the original.<br />
* See also: [https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/microsoftformsblog/how-to-update-to-the-new-solution-for-syncing-forms-responses-to-excel/4229844 Troubleshooting Form Sync issues]<br />
<br />
=== Forms from Microsoft Lists ===<br />
If you are managing data within [[Microsoft Lists]], you can create a form directly from the list to streamline data entry. See: [https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/spblog/collect-information-like-a-pro-%E2%80%93-new-microsoft-lists-forms-experience/4086659 Create a Form from a Microsoft List]<br />
====When to use Forms vs. When to use Lists====<br />
* '''Forms''' are for '''one-way data collection''' (surveys, simple registrations).<br />
* '''Lists''' are for '''ongoing data management''' and tracking.<br />

<br />
<br /><br />
====Send and Collect Responses====<br />
When you are ready to go live, click the '''Collect Responses''' button.<br />

* '''Shorten URL:''' Check the Shorten URL box to generate a cleaner, more professional link that is easier to share in emails or on printed materials.<br />
* '''File Uploads & Security:''' If you need to add a File Upload question, Microsoft requires the form to be set to '''"Only people in my organization can respond."'''<br />
** '''Why?''' Because uploaded files are stored in a secure SharePoint or OneDrive folder, the system must authenticate the user to ensure the files are handled safely and mapped to the correct respondent.<br />

===Best Practices===<br />
====Collaborative Ownership (Don't Fly Solo)====<br />
A common mistake is creating a form under an individual's account. If that person leaves the college or is unavailable, the form and its data become inaccessible.<br />
* '''Best Practice:''' Create a form in a Microsoft 365 Group or transfer ownership to a Team.<br />
* '''Why?''' This ensures that all members of your department or project team can manage the form and view responses, preventing "orphaned" forms.<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
====Working with Results & Excel====<br />
Every form automatically compiles results into an Excel spreadsheet. You can view these in real-time.<br />
<br />
<div class="alert alert-danger" role="alert"><br />
⚠️ '''CRITICAL: Do Not Edit the Linked Spreadsheet'''<br /><br />
Manual changes to headers or row structure in Excel will break the connection to your form.<br />
</div><br />
To keep your data syncing correctly, '''do not manually add columns, delete rows, or rename headers''' directly in the Excel file that is connected to your form.<br />
<br />
* Doing so '''can corrupt the sync connection''', causing new form responses to stop appearing in your spreadsheet.<br />
* If you need to analyze or manipulate the data, Export a copy of the data or use a separate "Pivot" sheet to pull data from the original.<br />

<hr /><br />
<br /><br />
===Step-by-Step Guides===<br />
====Creating & Designing====<br />
Forms start at '''[https://forms.office.com forms.office.com]'''<br />
* '''[https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/create-a-form-with-microsoft-forms-4ffb64cc-7d5d-402f-b82e-b1d49418fd9d Create a new form]:''' Choose between a standard form or a self-grading quiz.<br />

* '''[[Using the Evergreen Form Template]]:''' Ensure your form meets college branding and security standards.<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
====Sharing & Security====<br />
* '''[https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/adjust-your-form-or-quiz-settings-in-microsoft-forms-f255a4ba-e03c-4e12-b880-f7e8b62e0665 Adjusting Settings:]''' Control who can see your form (Evergreen-only vs. Anyone with the link) and set closing dates.<br />
* '''[https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/share-and-collaborate-911d4817-6bbb-4286-80a7-3251afd89e9d Sharing for collaboration:]''' Invite colleagues to help edit the form questions.<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
====Send and Collecting Responses====<br />
When you are ready to go live, click the '''Collect Responses''' button.<br />
* '''[https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/send-a-form-and-collect-responses-2eaf3294-0cff-492d-884d-a1dee909e845 Send a Collect Responses]:''' choose who can respond and how to send your form.<br />
* '''Shorten URL:''' Check the Shorten URL box to generate a cleaner, more professional link that is easier to share in emails or on printed materials.<br />
* '''File Uploads & Security:''' If you need to add a File Upload question, Microsoft requires the form to be set to '''"Only people in my organization can respond."'''<br />
** '''Why?''' Because uploaded files are stored in a secure SharePoint or OneDrive folder, the system must authenticate the user to ensure the files are handled safely and mapped to the correct respondent.<br />
**''Note: You cannot collect attachments from "Anonymous" or external respondents.''<br />

<br />
====Managing Responses====<br />
* '''[https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/check-and-share-your-form-results-02859424-341d-406f-b32a-9a0fbaf357af Check and share your form results]:''' <br />
**Open the form for which you want to review the results, and then select '''View responses'''.<br />
** See a high-level summary of charts and graphs directly in your browser.<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
----<br />
===Best Practices===<br />
====Collaborative Ownership (Don't Fly Solo)====<br />
A common mistake is creating a form under an individual's account. If that person leaves the college or is unavailable, the form and its data become inaccessible.<br />
* '''Best Practice:''' Create a form in a Microsoft 365 Group or transfer ownership to a Team.<br />
* '''Why?''' This ensures that all members of your department or project team can manage the form and view responses, preventing "orphaned" forms.<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
====Working with Results & Excel====<br />
Every form automatically compiles results into an Excel spreadsheet. You can view these in real-time.<br />
<br />
<div class="alert alert-danger" role="alert"><br />
⚠️ '''CRITICAL: Do Not Edit the Linked Spreadsheet'''<br /><br />
Manual changes to headers or row structure in Excel will break the connection to your form.<br />
</div><br />
To keep your data syncing correctly, '''do not manually add columns, delete rows, or rename headers''' directly in the Excel file that is connected to your form.<br />
<br />
* Doing so '''can corrupt the sync connection''', causing new form responses to stop appearing in your spreadsheet.<br />
* If you need to analyze or manipulate the data, Export a copy of the data or use a separate "Pivot" sheet to pull data from the original.<br />
<br />
=== Forms from Microsoft Lists ===<br />
If you are managing data within [[Microsoft Lists]], you can create a form directly from the list to streamline data entry. <br />
*[https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/spblog/collect-information-like-a-pro-%E2%80%93-new-microsoft-lists-forms-experience/4086659 Create a Form from a Microsoft List] (Microsoft documentation)<br />
====When to use Forms vs. When to use Lists====<br />
* '''Forms''' are for '''one-way data collection''' (surveys, simple registrations).<br />
* '''Lists''' are for '''ongoing data management''' and tracking.<br />

<div class="alert alert-danger" role="alert"><br />
⚠️ '''CRITICAL: Do Not Edit the Linked Spreadsheet'''<br />
Manual changes to headers or row structure in Excel will break the connection to your form.<br />
</div><br />
To keep your data syncing correctly, '''do not manually add columns, delete rows, or rename headers''' directly in the Excel file that is connected to your form.<br />
<br />
* Doing so '''can corrupt the sync connection''', causing new form responses to stop appearing in your spreadsheet.<br />
* If you need to analyze or manipulate the data, Export a copy of the data or use a separate "Pivot" sheet to pull data from the original.<br />
<br />
=== Forms from Microsoft Lists ===<br />
If you are managing data within [[Microsoft Lists]], you can create a form directly from the list to streamline data entry. <br />

====When to use Forms vs. When to use Lists====<br />
* '''Forms''' are for '''one-way data collection''' (surveys, simple registrations).<br />
* '''Lists''' are for '''ongoing data management''' and tracking.<br />

====Creating & Designing====<br />
Forms start at '''[https://forms.office.com forms.office.com]'''<br />
* '''[https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/create-a-form-with-microsoft-forms-4ffb64cc-7d5d-402f-b82e-b1d49418fd9d Create a new form]:''' Choose between a standard form or a self-grading quiz.<br />
* '''[https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/use-branching-logic-in-microsoft-forms-16634fda-eddb-44da-856d-6a8213f0d8bb Add branching logic:]''' Send respondents to different questions based on their previous answers.<br />
* Form Settings: Set deadlines, shuffle questions, or customize "Thank You" messages.<br />
* '''[[Using the Evergreen Form Template]]:''' Ensure your form meets college branding and security standards.<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
====Sharing & Security====<br />
* '''[https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/adjust-your-form-or-quiz-settings-in-microsoft-forms-f255a4ba-e03c-4e12-b880-f7e8b62e0665 Adjusting Settings:]''' Control who can see your form (Evergreen-only vs. Anyone with the link) and set closing dates.<br />
* '''[https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/share-and-collaborate-911d4817-6bbb-4286-80a7-3251afd89e9d Sharing for collaboration:]''' Invite colleagues to help edit the form questions.<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
====Collecting Responses & Attachments====<br />
When you are ready to go live, click the '''Collect Responses''' button.<br />
<br />
* '''Shorten URL:''' Check the Shorten URL box to generate a cleaner, more professional link that is easier to share in emails or on printed materials.<br />
* '''File Uploads & Security:''' If you need to add a File Upload question, Microsoft requires the form to be set to '''"Only people in my organization can respond."'''<br />
** '''Why?''' Because uploaded files are stored in a secure SharePoint or OneDrive folder, the system must authenticate the user to ensure the files are handled safely and mapped to the correct respondent.<br />
**''Note: You cannot collect attachments from "Anonymous" or external respondents.''<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
====Managing Responses====<br />
* '''View results:''' See a high-level summary of charts and graphs directly in your browser.<br />
* '''Troubleshoot Sync Issues:''' What to do if your Excel file stops updating.<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
----<br />
===Best Practices===<br />
====Collaborative Ownership (Don't Fly Solo)====<br />
A common mistake is creating a form under a personal account. If that person leaves the college or is unavailable, the form and its data become inaccessible.<br />
* '''Best Practice:''' Always Create a form in a Microsoft 365 Group or transfer ownership to a Team.<br />
* '''Why?''' This ensures that all members of your department or project team can manage the form and view responses, preventing "orphaned" forms.<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
====Working with Results & Excel====<br />
Every form automatically compiles results into an Excel spreadsheet. You can view these in real-time.<br />
<br />
<div class="alert alert-danger" role="alert"><br />
⚠️ '''CRITICAL: Do Not Edit the Linked Spreadsheet'''<br />
</div><br />
To keep your data syncing correctly, '''do not manually add columns, delete rows, or rename headers''' directly in the Excel file that is connected to your form.<br />
<br />
* Doing so '''can corrupt the sync connection''', causing new form responses to stop appearing in your spreadsheet.<br />
* If you need to analyze or manipulate the data, Export a copy of the data or use a separate "Pivot" sheet to pull data from the original.<br />
<br />
=== Forms from Microsoft Lists ===<br />
If you are managing data within [[Microsoft Lists]], you can create a form directly from the list to streamline data entry. <br />

====Collaborative Ownership (Don't Fly Solo)====<br />
A common mistake is creating a form under a personal account. If that person leaves the college or is unavailable, the form and its data become inaccessible.<br />
<br />
* '''Best Practice:''' Always Create a form in a Microsoft 365 Group or transfer ownership to a Team.<br />
* '''Why?''' This ensures that all members of your department or project team can manage the form and view responses, preventing "orphaned" forms.<br />
<br />

</div><br />
To keep your data syncing correctly, '''do not manually add columns, delete rows, or rename headers''' directly in the Excel file that is connected to your form.<br />
<br />
* Doing so can corrupt the sync connection, causing new form responses to stop appearing in your spreadsheet.<br />
* If you need to analyze or manipulate the data, Export a copy of the data or use a separate "Pivot" sheet to pull data from the original.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Forms from Microsoft Lists ===<br />
If you are managing data within [[Microsoft Lists]], you can create a form directly from the list to streamline data entry. <br />

[[File:Microsoft-Forms.svg|75px|left]] '''Microsoft Forms''' is a lightweight tool used to create surveys, quizzes, and polls. While easy to start, following these best practices ensures your data remains secure and accessible to your team.<br />
|content=<br />
<hr /><br />
<br /><br />
===## Step-by-Step Guides===<br />
====Creating & Designing====<br />
* '''[https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/create-a-form-with-microsoft-forms-4ffb64cc-7d5d-402f-b82e-b1d49418fd9d Create a new form]:''' Choose between a standard form or a self-grading quiz.<br />
* '''Add branching logic:''' Send respondents to different questions based on their previous answers.<br />
* Form Settings: Set deadlines, shuffle questions, or customize "Thank You" messages.<br />
* '''[[Using the Evergreen Form Template]]:''' Ensure your form meets college branding and security standards.<br />
<br />
====Sharing & Security====<br />
* '''Adjusting Settings:''' Control who can see your form (Evergreen-only vs. Anyone with the link) and set closing dates.<br />
* '''Sharing for collaboration:''' Invite colleagues to help edit the form questions.<br />
<br />
====Collecting Responses & Attachments====<br />
When you are ready to go live, click the Collect Responses button. Consider these critical settings:<br />
<br />
* '''Shorten URL:''' Check the Shorten URL box to generate a cleaner, more professional link that is easier to share in emails or on printed materials.<br />
* '''File Uploads & Security:''' If you need to add a File Upload question, Microsoft requires the form to be set to '''"Only people in my organization can respond."'''<br />
** '''Why?''' Because uploaded files are stored in a secure SharePoint or OneDrive folder, the system must authenticate the user to ensure the files are handled safely and mapped to the correct respondent.<br />
**''Note: You cannot collect attachments from "Anonymous" or external respondents.''<br />
<br />
====Managing Responses====<br />

<div>When conducting official college business, '''always use the Evergreen-approved template.''' This ensures the security of sensitive data (like user emails) and helps respondents verify that the form is an official college document.<br />
<br />
'''IMPORTANT:''' Start with the template first. You cannot apply Evergreen branding to an existing form later. If you’ve already started a form, you will need to copy and paste your questions into a new one created from the template.<br />
<br />
=== Quick Start Guide ===<br />
#'''Access the Template:''' Please submit a [https://forms.office.com/r/N978eF6R9h technology support request] to receive the link.<br />
#'''Create Your Copy:''' Click the '''More Options (...)''' icon on the template tile and select '''Copy'''. This creates a duplicate for your own use.<br />
#'''Personalize:''' Open your duplicate and rename it to match your project.<br />
#'''Build & Share:''' Add your questions and adjust branching logic. Once ready, you can share via:<br />

Tips for navigating the usage of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) and academic work.<br />
|content=<br />
<br /><br />
===Understanding Your Syllabus===<br />
*All Evergreen courses and programs have a syllabus outlining the learning plan and the faculty’s expectations. Make sure to read it thoroughly.<br />
*Many syllabi will include rules for using AI. If AI isn’t mentioned, ask your faculty about it immediately to avoid misunderstandings.<br />
<br />
===Navigating AI Policies===<br />
*'''Varied Policies:''' Expect that AI policies will vary between faculty, offerings, and even specific projects and assignments.<br />
*'''Course/Program-Specific Rules:''' Some faculty members will encourage or even require the use of AI, while others will prohibit it. These decisions are based on the learning goals for the course or program.<br />
*'''Stay Organized:''' Keep track of the AI policies for each course/program and assignment to avoid confusion and ensure compliance.<br />
<br />
===Ethical Guidelines for Using AI===<br />
*'''Originality:''' Ensure all submitted work is your own, reflecting your unique voice and ideas. If you use AI tools for assistance, do not use it to do the work for you, unless explicitly permitted by your faculty.<br />
<br />
*'''Acknowledgment and Attribution:''' Follow your faculty's rules for acknowledging or citing AI use. If unsure, ask for clarification. [https://apastyle.apa.org/blog/how-to-cite-chatgpt APA], [https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/qanda/data/faq/topics/Documentation/faq0422.html Chicago], and [https://style.mla.org/citing-generative-ai/ MLA] provide guidelines for citing generative AI work.<br />
<br />
*'''Data Security and Safety:''' Be cautious with the information you share with AI tools, as it may no longer be private and could be used in ways beyond your control. Never share sensitive, personal, or confidential information with AI systems. Use Evergreen's enterprise license for [[Microsoft Copilot with Data Protection]] for greater protection.<br />
<br />
<br />
''By following these guidelines, you'll be better prepared to navigate the varying AI policies at Evergreen and responsibly and ethically incorporate AI into your academic work.''<br />

You don’t need a desk phone to stay connected. Teams Phone works on the devices you already have:<br />
<br />
* '''Laptops:''' Built-in microphones are supported.<br />
* '''Headsets:''' OIT issues a one-time wired headset upon request. Contact your manager if you require a wireless model.<br />
* '''Desk Phones:''' Reserved for special circumstances. The Teams App is our primary and most efficient calling method.<br />
<br />
===Step 3: Install & Sign In===<br />
