K-State will never ask for your password in an email. Any email that asks for your password is a scam; delete it. See examples of recent phishing scams.

Internet Explorer 10 and use of iSIS and HRIS

When selecting internal links in iSIS or HRIS with Internet Explorer 10, the progress wheel will spin but will never take you to the link location. Two changes need to be made to Internet Explorer 10 to work correctly with iSIS and HRIS.

Internet Explorer 10 is the latest version of Microsoft's web browser. IE 10 is delivered with Windows 8, and as an important update to Windows 7 as part of Microsoft's update process.

For guidelines on configuration of all browsers for iSIS, visit Web Browser Recommendations & Limitations on the iSIS web site.

Speed requirements for optimal online video viewing

You can test the speed of your Internet connection, by going to: http://speedof.me. This HTML5-based speedtest works directly in your browser without third party plug-ins. It also works on iOS, Android, Windows 8 smartphones. Be aware that your Internet connection can dynamically change to provide the best service and that a speedtest is a check at a point in time and not an overall evaluation of your connection. It is also not always accurate depending on locations of test sites and conditions.

The minimum download speed needed for quality viewing of video online is 500 kB/s. Viewing quality is impaired at lower speeds.
