The Security Awareness and Training Program (SATP) aims to build a culture of security at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (¹û½´ÊÓƵ) by equipping our community with knowledge, practices and technologies needed to protect themselves and the University against information security threats.

The program includes a survey and training modules based on security awareness. These modules are manageable, and self-paced and will prepare you when it comes to information security threats. 

Eligible members of the ¹û½´ÊÓƵ community will be contacted to select new devices as part of the annual Computer Renewal Program (CRP).

Education Commons will ensure that all new devices are equipped with the necessary software and technology to support academic and administrative needs.

In 2026, the ¹û½´ÊÓƵ Building will open a new Rooftop Garden on the fifth floor, exclusively for members of the ¹û½´ÊÓƵ community.

Education Commons is collaborating with the ¹û½´ÊÓƵ Space team to ensure the garden’s technology components function seamlessly and reflect our shared sustainability values. The space will feature state-of-the-art systems designed to provide secure access exclusively to ¹û½´ÊÓƵ community members.

To maintain a secure computing environment for all Education Commons/¹û½´ÊÓƵ-issued devices connected to the ¹û½´ÊÓƵ wired and wireless networks, our team is currently upgrading eligible Windows 10 computers to Windows 11.
