We will begin the Classroom/Lecture Theatre refresh on 1 July 2024, so it is essential you let us know your requirements before 23 June 2024. If you do not, we cannot guarantee the software will be available as required.
This year we will be deploying Windows 11 (64-bit) on all IT Services-managed student classroom and lecture theatre PCs. We will be using Microsoft Office 365 and Microsoft Edge will be the default browser.
Departmental Teaching Software
For academic year 2024/25, please let us know if you require any of the following:
-
New applications
-
Existing applications
-
Upgrades
-
Specific configurations
Please do not assume that someone else will request commonly used software, or that colleagues will request software on your behalf.
Remember that classroom software must be licensed for concurrent use. If you have any queries about licensing, please get in touch.
Software provided by IT Services
Here is the live list of proposed upgrades to software provided by IT Services. Please let us know if you have any questions or comments.
Science Teaching Hub
The laptop devices in the Science Teaching Hub (STH) run a different software portfolio. If you have any requirements for teaching software on these devices, then please make a separate request with specific reference to the STH.
The PCs at the teaching stations in the labs will be refreshed in line with our standard lecture theatre build.
