Open Days?

[maccy]

Just wondered what your IT depts. did in the way of open days?

We don’t do anything regularly here but want to start something, even it is

just having a stall at the Freshers’ Fair. However we do want to target all

students and staff. We did have an ‘IT Showcase’ a few years back, which was

open to all, but it wasn’t too well attended and mainly focussed on what the

new IT Strategy would mean in practice (i.e. more centralisation etc.) We

had things like rolling presentations on upcoming projects (e.g. IP

Telephony) and stands covering HPC, Windows 7 etc.

If you do something, how do you engage everyone? And is it just a general

‘these are what services we offer and this is how to get help’, or do you go

beyond that?

 

Thanks in advance

We don't have any IT open days.

 

In regards to other open days for the school, We make sure that all the shiny tech is wheeled out and working.

Usually that is laptops and ipads also presentations about the school on the hall projector.

 

If there is any talks we set up the microphones and a small lectern screen.
