Our online training library, Lynda.com, is now LinkedIn Learning! This upgrade completes a transition made several years ago when LinkedIn purchased Lynda.com. You’ll still maintain access to the same great learning content, just under a different name. 

What’s new? 

With LinkedIn Learning, you’ll have access to thousands of tutorials and courses on a variety of topics, from technology to business skills. However, you may notice two things: 

ITS is pleased to announce the beta launch of a new cloud storage tool, Microsoft OneDrive. OneDrive lets you store, share, and collaborate on files in the cloud, saving your valuable hard drive space. It also integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Office.

OneDrive is the preferred method for storing WCM high-risk data, like PHI and PII. In this beta launch it can be used to share files with Weill Cornell Medicine students, staff, and faculty. We are working rapidly to evolve the service, and enable additional features such as external sharing with affiliates like NYP.

Apple has announced and released its latest mobile devices, operating systems, and a security advisory for keyboard applications:

Devices:

• iPhone 11 
• iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max 

Operating System:

• iOS 13.1.1
• iPadOS 13.1.1 

Effective Thursday, September 19th, the Weill Research Gateway (WRG)’s Conflicts Survey will be updated to add more specific questions focusing on foreign affiliations, foreign research support and other foreign components. These questions will help the institution manage “foreign influences” in research.

If you have any questions concerning conflicts of interest and financial disclosures, please reach out to the Conflicts Management Office at conflicts@med.cornell.edu.

The WCM File Transfer Service has moved from transfer.med.cornell.edu to transfer.weill.cornell.edu. 

As of Monday September 16th, you will log in to the new service at transfer.weill.cornell.edu. You will see a redesigned interface and an improved user experience. Our file transfer service is the WCM-approved application for sending large files securely (up to 35 GB).
