What is myPSU Course Studio?

myPSU Course Studio is a set of online tools that enable course communications through email, a message board, calendar, and chat.  In addition, these tools allow your instructor to share files, links, photos, and news.

This article will describe how to use the ODIN Account Manager (OAM) system to manage your ODIN account. OAM allows you to synchronize your ODIN account with your PSU Information System (Banweb) login, so that you may use one username and password to access all PSU computing resources. If you ever forget your password, OAM also has a handy 'Forgot Password' feature that will allow you to reset your own login information from any computer 24/7, without having to verify your identity with the User Support Services Helpdesk.
