In the Practicalities section. This section gives you access to the principal practical information.

What is the InfoDesk? Is the practical information the same whatever the path? The practical information is always the same. It is mainly gathered in the InfoDesk - www.desk.usi.ch - and the Faculty website provides a “targeted” point of access to them. InfoDesk - www.desk.usi.ch - is the web portal collecting practical information for the whole academic community. The InfoDesk features a series of highlights. You can search by keywords or using the available filters, “Targets”, “Faculties”, and “Tags”, and can be organized as "more relevant", "most viewed", "last modified" and "last viewed". Where can I find the Directory (search for people)? The link to the Directory is at the top-right of the page; from tablets and mobile phones, it can be reached by clicking on the address book icon. > See attachment Who manages News and Events? News is fed by two sources: the corporate news concerning the Faculty of Informatics added by the Media and Communication Service; this news is also available on the USI main website (usi.ch); the news added by the Faculty; this news is not available on the USI main website (usi.ch). Events are fed by two sources: the events added by the Faculty; the events added by the institutes and organizational units supported by the Faculty. All the events are, or can be, available on the USI main website too (usi.ch). Who designed the layout of the Faculty website? And who set up the structure and contents? The layout has been designed by the agency CCRZ according to the new USI graphic design, and slightly adapted by USI services for user experience reasons. The structure and contents have been suggested and set up by the Media and Communication Service, and reviewed and approved by the Faculty. Many things have changed compared to the old website, which was online up to November 2018. Where are the “For you”, “Education” and “Highlights” sections now? The For you section – navigation by type of user – has been explicitly located at the top-right of the page; on tablets and mobile phones, it is shown at the top – in the centre – with a drop-down menu called “Info for”. The users list has also been revised. The Education section is now called Study. The old section also featured some practical information (list of courses, language courses, study-abroad programme) that can now be accessed through the Practicalities section, and/or the page dedicated to Students, PhD students and Academic staff, the quick links in the lower part of the homepage, and/or the InfoDesk portal. The Highlights section has been replaced by News and events. The old section also featured the job offers database that can now be accessed through About > Work with us. It also included a link to resources and services that can now be accessed through the Practicalities section, and/or the page dedicated to Students, PhD students and Academic staff, the quick links in the lower part of the homepage, and/or the InfoDesk portal. Can I still use the old website? It is no longer possible to surf the old website. The old website is now available in static form upon request.

What is the InfoDesk? Is the practical information the same whatever the path</strong><strong>?</strong></p> <p>The practical information is always the same. It is mainly gathered in the InfoDesk - <a href="https://www.desk.usi.ch/en" target="_blank">www.desk.usi.ch</a> - and the Faculty website provides a “targeted” point of access to them.</p> <p>InfoDesk - <a href="https://www.desk.usi.ch/en" target="_blank">www.desk.usi.ch</a> - is the web portal collecting practical information for the whole academic community. The InfoDesk features a series of highlights. You can search by keywords or using the available filters, “Targets”, “Faculties”, and “Tags”, and can be organized as "more relevant", "most viewed", "last modified" and "last viewed".</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Where can I find the Directory (search for people)? </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">The link to the <a href="https://search.usi.ch/en" target="_blank">Directory</a> is at the top-right of the page; from tablets and mobile phones, it can be reached by clicking on the address book icon.</p> <p dir="ltr">> <a href="https://content.usi.ch/sites/default/files/storage/attachments/inf/inf-guide-website-inf.pdf" target="_blank">See attachment</a></p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Who manages News and Events?</strong></p> <p>News is fed by two sources:</p> <ul> <li>the corporate news concerning the Faculty of Informatics added by the Media and Communication Service; this news is also available on the USI main website (usi.ch); </li> <li>the news added by the Faculty; this news is not available on the USI main website (usi.ch).</li> </ul> <p>Events are fed by two sources: </p> <ul dir="ltr"> <li>the events added by the Faculty; </li> <li>the events added by the institutes and organizational units supported by the Faculty. </li> </ul> <p dir="ltr">All the events are, or can be, available on the USI main website too (usi.ch). </p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Who designed the layout of the Faculty website? And who set up the structure and contents?</strong></p> <p>The layout has been designed by the agency CCRZ according to the new USI graphic design, and slightly adapted by USI services for user experience reasons. </p> <p>The structure and contents have been suggested and set up by the Media and Communication Service, and reviewed and approved by the Faculty. </p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Many things have changed compared to the old website, which was online up to November 2018. Where are the “For you”, “Education” and “Highlights” sections now?</strong></p> <p>The <em>For you</em> section – navigation by type of user – has been explicitly located at the top-right of the page; on tablets and mobile phones, it is shown at the top – in the centre – with a drop-down menu called “Info for”. The users list has also been revised.</p> <p>The <em>Education</em> section is now called <em>Study</em>. The old section also featured some practical information (list of courses, language courses, study-abroad programme) that can now be accessed through the <em>Practicalities</em> section, and/or the page dedicated to <a href="/en/originalnode/10904">Students</a>, <a href="/en/originalnode/11017">PhD students</a> and <a href="/en/originalnode/11016">Academic staff</a>, the quick links in the lower part of the homepage, and/or the <a href="https://desk.usi.ch/en" target="_blank">InfoDesk</a> portal.</p> <p>The <em>Highlights</em> section has been replaced by <em>News and events</em>. The old section also featured the job offers database that can now be accessed through <em>About > Work with us</em>. It also included a link to resources and services that can now be accessed through the <em>Practicalities </em>section, and/or the page dedicated to <a href="/en/originalnode/10904">Students</a>, <a href="/en/originalnode/11017">PhD students</a> and <a href="/en/originalnode/11016">Academic staff</a>, the quick links in the lower part of the homepage, and/or the <a href="https://desk.usi.ch/en" target="_blank">InfoDesk</a> portal.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Can I still use the old website? </strong></p> <p>It is no longer possible to surf the old website.
