What IT changes have you made to your university ?

[yassine1641]

Hello All,

 

I am probably just pipe dreaming but i have been thinking and like the idea of introducing something new and cool to our university. I want to bring something to the university that they either can't do or don't have but that can have a big impact.

 

Just wondering if any of you have introduced something you would class as revolutionary at your university that made a difference to teaching and learning.

 

Interested to hear what other people have done or are doing.

 

Cheers

I guess this depends if you are talking teaching or research.

 

The biggest thing implmented where I work that has had a significant impact on teaching is lecture capture: Lecture Capture - Sonic Foundry

 

For research, big data is where the funding appears to be coming from so programming (R, GIS, MatLab) adn high perfomance computing.
