Getting Started
How to Activate Your EKOID
In order to activate your EKOID visit ekoid.ieu.edu.tr . Use the information given to
you during the university registration and complete the activation. If you need any
assistance, you can watch the video on http://itsupport.ieu.edu.tr/tr/?page_id=2196
Please make sure you check the email account provided by the university on a
regular basis. All administrative and academic announcements as well as the
notifications sent through the learning management system are emailed to your
university email address.
You can access your university email through https://zcstd.izmirekonomi.edu.tr./
How to Activate Your OASIS Account
Before you activate your Organizational Administrative
Student Information System (OASIS) account, make sure
you have your student ID number and e-mail address
provided by Student Affairs Directorate during the initial
registration process by your side.
First of all, go to http://oasis.izmirekonomi.edu.tr
and click on the “Click here to activate your account” link
available below student ID and Password.
Enter your student ID number. If you do not check the
“Send via SMS” box, the temporary password will be sent
to your std.izmirekonomi.edu.tr email account. If you
choose the “Send via SMS” option, the temporary
password will be sent to both the GSM Number you
provided during the initial registration process and your
IUE email address. After receiving the temporary
password, re-enter and log into OASIS by using this
password. Once you log into OASIS, the system will
automatically ask you to change security settings such as
password and pin number, which has to be a 4-digit
number. You will use this same student ID number and
OASIS password to later log in to Blackboard.

BLACKBOARD LEARN
Blackboard Learn is virtual learning environment and an internet-based learning
management system designed to enhance instructional activities by enabling
instructors to manage and create their course materials, assignments and exams.
Blackboard Learn facilitates student learning and enhances their engagement
with the course material. It is used institutionally to supplement face-to-face
courses, and/or to provide any course content for distance education courses. In
addition to that, instructors can easily communicate with their students online
and manage class discussions and collaborative projects using blogs, discussion
boards and forums which are available on Blackboard Learn. Students will be
able to access all of these features any time of the day via any medium with
internet connection.

your instructor might have created a menu item called Assignments. Ask your
instructor if you have questions about how your course is organized. Click on the
item. Review instructions, deadline and grading criteria on Upload Assignment page

Step 4: Your course instructor will schedule the collaborate sessions according to
your course timetable and for each session a link will be created under “Scheduled
Sessions” tab. The Collaborate icon ( ) will appear next to the link about 15
minutes before the class is scheduled to begin. When you see that icon, click on the
link next to it to join your session.

For more information, click here or visit TLC Organization for Students on Blackboard
Learn.
Blackboard Collaborate can be accessed from mobile devices, too. You need to
download both Blackboard and Blackboard Collaborate applications from

not supported on mobile devices.

Smart Attendance
The IEU Smart app is a tool used by students that allows them to take their own
attendance online. It is available on Google Play and App Store. Once you install it,
you can log in by entering your Student ID number and OASIS password. Please
note that it is an individual attendance application so make sure you enter the
correct ID and password. If not, in order to change your student ID number, you
must wait at least 24 hours. To be able to take your own attendance, you must be
in class, have an internet connection, and Bluetooth connection.

Teaching and Learning Center
Teaching and Learning Center (TLC) is a research and application center founded in
line with IUE’s “excellence in education” strategic goal . TLC aims to promote
innovative and technology enhanced learning techniques to help IUE students to
become lifelong learners and to challenge and inspire them to think critically.
Therefore, TLC provides support and training to instructors and students for the
efficient use of Smart Campus tools and facilities.
The manuals and guides on Smart Campus tools prepared and collated by TLC are
available on http://www.ieu.edu.tr/tlc/en/for-students .
You are also advised to frequently visit the TLC Organization for Students page,
which you can access through the My Organizations tab on Blackboard Learn.

To support effective learning, Peer Tutoring and Academic Workshops are held at
Teaching and Learning Center.
The main aim of the Peer Tutoring Program at the Teaching and Learning Center
(TLC) is to help students (tutees) become more independent learners. Tutors work
with individual and/or groups of students across a range of courses, either on a
short or long-term basis, to clarify and review concepts taught in class, explain
processes, and help students with specific tasks as needed. Tutoring is a
supplement to teaching, and not a replacement for class attendance and
participation. Tutoring sessions are designed to respond to students’ individual
questions and needs, but this does not mean that the tutors simply provide direct
answers for homework/exams; the aim is to enable students to improve their
own performance, rather than do their work for them.
