Teaching and Learning Support Services

Over the past five years, Information Services has invested £1.5 million in service provision to support teaching and learning within the University. This investment has changed the way that teaching staff interact with their students.

Audio-visual Systems in Teaching Areas

 Did you know that we have now have fixed projection systems and networked computers in almost 140 rooms across our campuses?
We have achieved our target of having around 50% of all centrally-managed teaching space with this level of technology provision.

Student Workstations

We support approximately 1400 casual use student desktops located in over 20 IT laboratories, our two Learning Resource Centres and Library areas.

Student Printing

Over 2.5 million pages are printed within our workstation areas annually. The proceeds are re-invested each year,
allowing the department to develop a programme of continuous improvement to the service.
 

Video-conference facilities teaching large groups

The lecture theatres equipped with video-conference facilities can cater for up to 1200 students across the University


The Benefits to Research of the video-conference facilities

“Recognised research groups within the School of Nursing find the videoconference facilities invaluable with regard to time and cost savings. For these important projects, this releases much needed money to be spent on other things.”


Professor Jenny Boore, School of Nursing
