Information Technology (IT) provides a robust infrastructure, a variety of networked resources, and accessible support services to enhance the teaching and learning environment for the Stonehill community.
Stonehill User Account
Your Stonehill user account (email address, username, and password) are the keys to your digital life at Stonehill. You will use your user credentials to log in to all Microsoft 365-powered applications and services (including important applications like myHill and Canvas).
Faculty Computers
Full-time faculty members are provided with a computer and can select from our standard offerings either a Windows or Mac desktop or laptop computer. Computers and peripherals are the property of the College and the College can access computer content at its discretion. Computers must be returned to the Department of Information Technology (IT) in the event that a faculty member leaves full-time employment of the College.
Network
All buildings have access to both our wired and wireless networks. Information about how to set up access to our wireless network (hillspot) on your devices can be found under the Network Access category on our Knowledge Base.
Teaching with Technology
IT provides a wide range of instructional applications and support services for faculty to enable the integration of technology into their teaching. Workshops are held regularly throughout the year. Educational technologists are available for one-on-one consultations on a variety of topics, including Canvas course design, Canvas gradebook, online collaboration, lecture capture, and incorporating technology into a class assignment. For more information visit or to request a Teaching & Learning Consultation, the IT website.
Email, Calendar, and Personal File Storage
Each faculty member is assigned an email address through an account in Stonehill’s Microsoft 365 environment. Faculty members are expected to check their Stonehill email regularly as this is the email account used to conduct college business. Stonehill email is the property of the College and can be accessed by the College at its discretion.
Each individual’s Microsoft 365 account provides a calendar, which is the recommended method to track and schedule appointments and meetings. Faculty are also provided with file storage via OneDrive, which can be used to share files and collaborate on documents with other Stonehill users.
myHill Portal
myHill is a personalized platform where students, faculty, and staff access announcements, information and online services. Portal content is targeted to specific user groups, enabling access to relevant information in a single location. Faculty use myHill to obtain their class schedules, view student rosters, email their class or advisees, post grades, view paystubs and employment benefits, and more. Browse to myHill.stonehill.edu to log in to myHill.
Learning Management System (LMS) – Canvas
The College uses Canvas as its Learning Management System. Canvas provides simple yet powerful tools that enable delivery of course content, management of student outcomes, and enhanced collaboration.
Classrooms & Learning Spaces
Classrooms are equipped with a computer and projection system. Faculty also have the option to connect their own laptop to the projection system. Most classrooms have a camera and speakerphone to facilitate lecture capture and video conferencing. Additionally, teaching labs with Windows and Mac computers are available in various locations around campus. Students utilize general access labs in the Library and the Meehan School of Business as well as the teaching labs when classes are not in session. More information including the list of installed software can be found on the IT Knowledge Base in the Classroom & Event Technologies section.
