Additional options for students to access rtcCloud online resources

Google Shared Drive: visit https://drive.google.com/ as usual and be sure you are logged in with your @rtc.bt credentials. Click on Shared Drives. 

Look for this:  

   Click the star -->  

Microsoft OneDrive is cached around the world but its performance is not as strong as Google Drive within Bhutan. Within Bhutan and especially on campus, https://cloud.rtc.bt would still be the fastest option. However, OneDrive is also a backup option in case cloud.rtc.bt is not working adequately. Moreover, OneDrive presents useful tools particularly for files created by the Office package (Word, Excel, Powerpoint). Since some students may not have compatible software, these web-based apps can do the trick of opening files from the OneDrive cloud mirror in the user's browser, for example to play voice-over powerpoints even without the desktop version of the Powerpoint software and using older operating systems (like Windows 7).

 

For those with Windows 10 but no full version of Office for their computer still wishing to view files on their own computer offline (not in the browser), Powerpoint Mobile is a free tool for this: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/powerpoint-mobile/9wzdncrfjb5q

 

EXAMPLE -- Open Office documents directly to view them in the Office365 Online apps, even play voice-over powerpoints:

Dear students,

If you have not already done so, this is an important reminder -- any current RTC student should fill out this mobile contact number verification form immediately. Ensure that you are logged in to your browser with your @rtc.bt email account, not a separate personal gmail or other account, and then follow this link.

Those who have already completed the form, if you are current RTC students with no pending dues, and are not currently on-campus: you should have begun receiving mobile data top-ups on your registered numbers. RTC has been discussing and negotiating with the telecoms (BT and TCell) on special packages for you-- the top-ups are at your respective 499 rate packages, and will also get a 60% additional data bonus to be added shortly (in case the bonus has not come through yet already). The same will apply to any others still on campus once they leave campus. Although our hostels are closing, all students will be able to remain connected and stay current with their studies.

Please DO exercise some discipline in how you use up this data. The validity period is one month, and it would be appropriate to utilize this towards your academic needs only. Do not accidentally use up excessive data -- follow "low-data mode" tips on the RTC Information Technology Support page (https://www.facebook.com/RTCITSupport/). It will be expected that students stay in full engagement with their academics.

This is an interim plan: The government and telecoms are also engaged in developing nationwide plans for ALL students, and these are expected to roll out in April. It is important that you have your correct mobile number registered with us, as we need to submit this information to the Education authorities. 

We assume most mobile numbers are under "prepaid" plans. PLEASE inform back through reply e-mail to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if your number is a "postpaid" number.

For any additional IT support needs (especially with VLE/Cloud/email other academic IT services), please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., visit and message the RTC IT Support facebook mentioned above, or whatsapp/call to 77457548.

With best wishes,

Dear RTC community members: As per the appeal notification from the Ministry of Health, individuals are requested to avoid visiting hospitals and other health facilities if you do not have any illness.  However, anyone should contact health officials via phone if you are experiencing flu-like symptoms; please contact the COVID19 toll-free number hotline 2121 (We appeal everyone to refrain from making prank calls to the hotline numbers – this is unhelpful and calls are traced).

The COVID19 Flu Clinic in Thimphu is open 24/7 and is located at the Helipad, Royal Bhutan Police (RBP) Campus below Jigme Dorji Wangchuck National Referral Hospital (JDWNRH).

Dear Students,

This is to inform all students that until in-person classes at RTC resume upon further notice, to ensure that we maintain progress in our teaching-learning, all classes will continue online. The class semester plans and CA (continuous assessment) submissions will continue. All RTC classes will be held online primarily using the VLE platform and other online resources such as Google Classroom, rtcCloud, and other available systems.

Due to this, all the RTC students are required to:

1. Check your email on a regular basis and sign into your VLE account using your RTC email login.
2. Attend the online classes and fulfill all the assigned CA tasks. In case if a student does not submit/ delays in any submissions, instructions related to any non-submissions or delayed submissions will be clearly given in the VLE and in general, such cases will be treated with the same rules as generally applied in regular classes at RTC.
3. If any students face difficulty in accessing the RTC VLE page or accessing any of the required online materials, you can call (during office hours) at this number 77333848 for any assistance.

Programme Leaders and respective module tutors should have already emailed you in terms of specific module plans and actions in terms of online class delivery. Please check your mails and log in to vle.rtc.bt. For any inquiry related to online classes, you can email your module tutors. In case if you need information related to your tutor’s email id and mobile number, you can call (during office hours) at the aforementioned number or email This email address is being protected from spambots.

With this, the existing Laundry Shop located below the dining will be consolidated and relocated at the new unit with immediate effect. The AFD would like to thank the current Laundry Shop which was run and managed by the students.

With an enhanced set up and dedicated staff attached, the new laundry unit is expected to operate for longer hours and provide better services.

    The students are directed to go through the following two Policies in the Student hand Book:

   21. Tobacco Policy       

  22.   Alcohol & Drug Policy

It has been observed & reported that these 2 Policies are not being heeded to, whereby rampant smoking in the college premises is evident, controlled substances are being abused and dispersed, thereby making the College environment unconducive to learning.

Therefore all the students are hereby notified that STRICT MONITORING will be exercised, to the extent of being frisked whenever deemed necessary. And if found violating the policies, will be subject to disciplinary action.

Registrar.
