Intended audience: IDS staff<\/p>\n
At the beginning of 2018,\u00a0the Digital Student and Teaching Services (DSTS) stream was born from 3 groups that had previously been aligned very differently. The two software focussed teams, Student Systems and Online Learning Systems, had been part of their respective business units and the Audio Visual Services team had been much more strongly aligned to Infrastructure. The common mission we established for DSTS is;<\/p>\n
\u2018to provide\u00a0<\/i>seamless, reliable, intuitive technology\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
that supports student learning\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
from application to graduation<\/i>\u2019<\/p>\n
During the year,\u00a0the stream was joined by a growing Project and Change Delivery group with a common desire to enable the students\u00a0through\u00a0use of\u00a0technology.<\/p>\n
Audio Visual Services<\/b>\u00a0is on track to refurbish or update over 100 audio visual spaces by EOY (this includes around 70\u00a0lecture\u00a0capture enabled spaces). The team has started an ongoing rotation within the IDS Helpdesk to triage issues, share knowledge and improve service for all staff. There has been a strong focus on supporting\u00a0the College of Nursing and Health Sciences\u00a0with their simulation capability (manikins and simulation system support),\u00a0as well as providing IDS technical support for major events across all campuses.<\/p>\n
Online Learning Systems<\/b>\u00a0have successfully supported 9 rounds of patching for the Learning Management System (FLO). They have also transitioned the legacy REX system to\u00a0SkillsForge, supported the implementation of new\u00a0eReading\u00a0system (Leganto), testing and integration with Ci Anywhere project,\u00a0while providing critical support for the current curriculum management systems, simulation technologies and\u00a0Kaltura (over 16,000 teaching videos this year).<\/p>\n
Student Systems<\/b>\u00a0team members have been working collaboratively under pressure to keep the critical student services running smoothly (enrolment, course rules, placements, timetabling and government reporting). In 2018,\u00a0the team have provided a significant contribution to the Ci Anywhere and My\u00a0eQuals\u00a0projects,\u00a0while\u00a0also implementing\u00a0a\u00a0new\u00a0organisational\u00a0unit restructure for the\u00a0some of the Colleges.\u00a0They have also\u00a0been\u00a0providing training for the student management and placement systems.<\/p>\n
