Editor's Notes
- Introduce self Am not IT, but Ed Tech However, IT and teaching background helps Background in learning spaces
- Invited to present to this group after UCISA-bursary funded visit to mLearn 2018 Presented poster at that event, on wireless collaboration at City (if possible, present wirelessly from tablet)
- Do your institutions enable wireless sharing from mobile devices? To what extent (single spaces > pan-campus installations)? Which solutions are you using? Show our definition Mention that also includes wireless presenting
- Approached by Prof Stallebras (Civ Eng) in 2014 Started investigating possibilities, along with Mike Sadler Digging in to staff surveys/learning spaces evaluation, found much wider demand Settled on Mersive Solstice – ref to case study video
- Took collaborative approach from beginning Partnered with Mike S Discussions with vendors Hardware or software? Drew up list of 10 candidate technologies (show questions table) Reduced to 4 Technical staff workshop (LEaD + IT) reduced to 2 Academic staff workshop – 1 selected (Mersive Solstice Pod)
- Why are we doing this? Response to demand Upgrading teaching pod infrastructure across estate (multi-year DALI project) (show animation) Much that staff and students can do with mobile, connected computers This is actually about mobile learning
- Currently we have around 700 access points across the campus providing blanket coverage. This year so far there has been 405Tb of downloads on the wireless network, the whole of last year there was 327Tb Over the last 30 days there have been around 800,000 sessions on the wireless. At peak over the last week there was a day during a 2 hour period there were 10,000 sessions. At peak we have around 7,500 concurrent devices connected to the wifi Around 50-60% of devices connected at any time are iOS, and Android about 30-40%
- Describe importance of working with Paulo to get this integrated onto eduroam
- Wider application in specialist spaces for supporting experiential learning Newsroom – broadcast newsroom designed for multiple channels Embrace newer pedagogies, teaching and learning within collaborative space ‘Mentor in the centre’ with wireless collab built in (Wolfvision Cynap) Currently designing new AI lab
