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

Report by Alan Gilchrist

Achievements this period

• Decision has been made to fund the eduroam installations for NHS Forth Valley on a 5 year support agreement, so progress can now been made in this area.

Issues

• Due to priority of moving to the central timetabling system and the teaching spaces upgrades, creating the build for the PAEP library hasn't progressed.

• Receive suggested options for restoring eduroam connectivity in NHS Lanarkshire.

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

Report by Alan Gilchrist

Achievements this period

• Vet School installations started but haven't been completed by the end of the month as planned, due in part to some cabling issues.
• Kennedy Tower lecture theatre completed 3 days later than originally planned, due to issue raised last month regarding the hole for the new projector - only one NHS booking had to be moved due to the delay, so teaching was not affected.
• AV contractor has completed the majority of the Chancellor's Building upgrades and working with Alan Gilchrist have implemented temporary solutions for the other rooms, so teaching could begin on 30th July.

Issues

• The main contractor for the Western General Medical Education Centre is still behind schedule and the phase 1 rooms (3 x seminar rooms) haven't been completed by the end of the month as originally planned.  AV contractor is now due on site to start their work on 12th August, giving them 2 weeks to get the phase 1 rooms ready for teaching to start on 26th.  University network needs to be fully commissioned for AV installation to complete.
• The wrong RJ45 ports were installed in the Chancellor's Building rooms, which has meant some of the video signals are unstable and temporary solutions for the first teaching sessions had to be implemented.
• The main AV technician for the Chancellor's Building had to go on paternity leave after 2 days on the job, so certain aspects of the install won't be fully complete until he returns.

Next Steps

• Design solutions for the installation of the air canisters and the nurse/emergency call system for the Western General Medical Education Centre.
• AV contractors to start in Western General Medical Education Centre 12th August.
• Complete Vet School installations.
• RJ45 ports to be replaced in Chancellor's Building and then AV contractor to return to complete installations.

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.
