MVM125: Connectivity - Off-campus 2018/19 - RAG Status: GREEN

Report by Alan Gilchrist

Achievements this period

• Project initiated due to work already being carried out.
• Met with Karen Muir to look at the Princess Alexandra Eye Pavilion (PAEP) library.  Wifi provision is through eduroam offered over the NHS network.  Current issues of IP allocation to devices is experienced here.  Suggested two PCs be installed in the library using existing mobile broadband dongles as a short term measure, whilst investigation takes place into what University network provision could be installed.
• Contacted Khipu to discuss issues associated with the quote they have provided for the installation of a managed eduroam service for NHS Forth Valley.  Cost is higher than expected and only proposed for 1 year rather than 3 years.
• Have tried to organise a meeting with NHS Lanarkshire IT staff to discuss current issues with their offereing of eduroam, so that a proposed solution can be generated and implemented.

Next Steps

• Create a suitable PC build configuration for the PAEP library and install on the computers on site.
• Organise the meeting with NHS Lanarkshire IT staff.
• Chase up Khipu and proceed with managed service installation.

MVM126 Upgrading of student computer labs, teaching and meeting room PCs 2018/19 - RAG Status: AMBER

Report by Alan Gilchrist

Achievements this period

• Discussed storage issue for Western General Medical Education Centre with the project manager of the refurbishment.  No additional storage space is currently available, so purchasing of new computers will need to be carefully planned, either to coincide with the handover date from the building contractor or for the building contractor to allow delivery direct to the rooms once they have been redecorated.  Since building contractor hasn't been appointed yet, decision can't be made.

Issues

• Amount of funding available for this project has been reduced, therefore the 17 presenter computers for the WGH teaching/meeting rooms will now be replaced in the next financial year.

Next Steps

• Contact Easter Bush IT team to coordinate the best times to deploy their new computers.

MVM130 Upgrading of teaching spaces 2018/19 - RAG Status: AMBER

Report by Alan Gilchrist

Achievements this period

• Amended designs for the Chancellor's Building rooms to better suit the requirements of the users.
• Created the initial AV designs for the Vet School rooms being proposed for upgrades (G.45, Langhill Farm, 1.27, 1.26, 1.25, 1.24).  Sent query regarding most suitable screen to go into G.45 to Vet School.
• No asbestos issues for the work to be carried out in Kennedy Tower Division Lecture Theatre.  Planning for work to commence early June.
• Formalising design paperwork for Western General Medical Education Centre has been started.

Issues

• The Western General Hospital Medical Education Centre refurbishment has been postponed a month (beginning mid to end of May).  Unsure of when an AV contractor will be allowed on-site to carry out the installations as the building contractor hasn't been appointed yet, so AV tender can't be sent out until an indicative time frame can be included.
• Waiting for estimates and staff availability from engie for work to be carried out in Chancellor's Building.  
• LST project manager has resigned post, so workload will have to be spread out between existing staff.

Next Steps

• Complete design paperwork for Western General Medical Education Centre upgrades and send out to AV contractors for tender (once we know when they will be allowed on-site to carry out work).
• Arrange suitable dates for upgrades of Chancellor's Building rooms once engie have responded to the minor works order requests.
• Complete tender documents for the Vet School rooms and send out to AV contractors.
• Assign AV contractor to Kennedy Tower Division Lecture Theatre upgrade.

A number of issues related to content within the VLE have been identified post-migration. A report has been provided to the Programme Director, Head of School and College Registrar summarising the issues.

Given the GMC visit in early November, additional resource has been made available to the College. Staff from LTW are spending time based in Little France and are offering one-to-one sessions with academic colleagues to check links, tidy formatting and other changes as required. 16 sessions have been booked.

Academic team raised the potential for additional support in their team required during this process. Will monitor and flag if it becomes an issue. Academic team to discuss with College Office process around issuing tutors with EASE credentials for access to the VLE.

DTP001: Apps to User Devices - RAG Status: GREEN

Project board has agreed that we will look to launch the service in Summer 2019, with first student groups using the service from start of Semester September 2019.  The project and college teams are to focus on completing functional testing as soon as possible, with further phase of performance testing to follow once 10Gb network and technical testing activities have concluded.  The service name is to change from AppsAnywhere and we are looking to have final name chosen by end of February to allow for the necessary changes to be made to projects materials and artefacts (e.g. logos, training videos etc).

MLE003: Lecture Recording Implementation - RAG Status: CLOSED

The first phase launch of Media Hopper Replay is complete and the project will be moving to closure. 138 rooms were equipped for September 2017 and a number of CMVM rooms were prioritised during the rollout.  Use in Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences is increasing. The School of Medicine were not historic users of the previous service and the second phase of the project will be focussed on supported expanded use in such Schools. There are some particular challenges in the School related to confidential content and the level of access in Learn which will be the focus of the next phase in terms of support.
