MATLAB and Simulink are fundamental computational tools used at educational institutions worldwide. More than 500 universities have instituted a Total Academic Headcount (TAH) site license, including one-third of the top 300 universities worldwide and 23 of the top 25 universities.

Today, MATLAB and Simulink are an integral part of the curriculum at the SUN. The tools are used for teaching and research across several academic disciplines such as Geography, Agriculture, Economics, Biology, Informatics, Psychology, Math, Statistics and Physics, in addition to the engineering disciplines. The university provides lab room access via 8 different classroom licenses servers to be used by students on university owned machines. Researcher access is provided by a number of installs: 6 network servers provide 35 concurrent users, 8 group licenses with 79 users and 35 individual licenses.

Students who use MATLAB and Simulink establish a foundation for learning that serves them through their university years and prepares them for careers in engineering but also in areas such as biology, science, finance, and math. Faculty employ MATLAB and Simulink to engage students in coursework and research by providing a flexible environment for teaching, applying algorithms and models, and exploring data. Students can apply theory to real-world problems within a broad range of student- oriented research much in line with the big trends towards active learning i.e. PBL and CDIO.

Stellenbosch University has a Total Academic Headcount (TAH) license for MATLAB, Simulink, and add-on products. Faculty, researchers, and students may use these products for teaching, research, and learning. The license allows individuals to install the products on university-owned equipment, as well as personally owned computers.

To obtain an individual license for laptops and home PC’s:

Option 1 – On campus download – Click here for instructions.
Option 2 – Off campus download from Mathworks Website. Click here for instructions.

MATLAB en Simulink is fundamentele berekeningshulpmiddele wat wêreldwyd by opvoedkundige instellings gebruik word. Meer as 500 universiteite het reeds die TAH (Total Academic Headcount) webwerflisensie aangekoop en dit sluit een derde van die top 300 universiteite en 23 van die top 25 universiteite ter wêreld in.

MATLAB en Simulink is deesdae ŉ integrale deel van Universiteit Stellenbosch se kurrikulum. Die sagteware word gebruik in verskeie akademiese omgewings, byvoorbeeld Geografie, Agriwetenskap, Ekonomie, Biologie, Informatika, Sielkunde, Wiskunde, Statistiek en Fisika, sowel as die verskeie ingenieursvakrigtings. Die universiteit verskaf werksareas (labs) met 8 verskillende gelisensieerde klaskamerbedieners wat deur studente gebruik word op universiteitsrekenaars. Toegang vir navorsers word verskaf deur ŉ aantal installasies: 6 netwerkbedieners verskaf gelyktydig toegang aan 35 gebruikers, 8 groeplisensies aan 79 gebruikers en 35 individuele lisensies.

Studente wat MATLAB en Simulink gebruik, vestig ŉ kennisgrondslag wat hulle deur die res van hulle universiteitsjare kan gebruik en dit berei hulle voor op loopbane in ingenieurswese, sowel as biologie, wetenskap, finansies en wiskunde. Fakulteite gebruik MATLAB en Simulink om studente te betrek by kursusmateriaal en navorsing deur ŉ buigbare omgewing te bied vir onderrig, toepassing van algoritmes en modelle en data-ondersoekings. Studente kan teorie toepas op probleme in die regte wêreld binne ŉ wye omvang van student-georienteerde navorsing – in lyn met die groter neiging na aktiewe leer, byvoorbeeld PBL en CDIO.

Universiteit Stellenbosch het ŉ Total Academic Headcount (TAH) lisensie vir MATLAB, Simulink en addisionele produkte. Fakulteite, navorsers en studente kan hierdie produkte gebruik vir onderrig, navorsing en leer. Met hierdie lisensie kan individue produkte op universiteitstoerusting, sowel as persoonlike toerusting, installeer.

Om ŉ individuele lisensie vir skootrekenaars en tuisrekenaars te bekom:

Opsie 1 – Op kampus aflaaibare lêer. Kliek hier vir instruksies.
Opsie 2 – Weg-van-kampus aflaaibare lêer op die Mathworks webwerf. Kliek hier vir instruksies.

[:en]Office365 phishing e-mail[:]

Friday, March 3rd, 2017

[:en]

Please take note of a phishing e-mail circulating on campus which looks like an Office365 e-mail notification. Unfortunately, a few students have been caught out by this trap.

We will not send you an e-mail resembling the one below. If in doubt, rather contact us to confirm whether it’s a legitimate request.

[:en]First ransomware targeting Apple Mac users[:af]”Ransomware” teiken vir die eerste keer Apple Mac gebruikers[:]

Tuesday, March 8th, 2016

[:en]

Ransomware, one of the fastest-growing cyber threats, encrypts data on infected machines, then asks users to pay ransoms in hard-to-trace digital currencies to get an electronic key so they can retrieve their data (more previous ramsomware articles on our blog).

The “KeRanger” ransomware, which appeared last week, was the first functioning ransomware attacking Apple’s Mac computers.

The e-textbook pilot is a collaboration between Information Technology and the Faculty of Law which will offer e-textbooks as an option for first year students in one or more of their modules and extended to the postgraduate programme in Public and Development Management at SPL. The introduction of e-textbooks will allows us to explore the strength and weaknesses of the e-reader technology and to determine the usefulness of the technology in the classroom.

Students require flexible mechanisms to have access to their academic resources, access to learning managements system, library resources and any academic or information resources is a requirement for on or off campus. The goals of the e-textbook pilot with the Law Faculty and School of Public Leadership (SPL) are:

· Explore the current strengths and weaknesses of the e-reader technology
· To determine the usefulness of this technology in the classroom
· Reduce the high cost of traditional textbooks and increase the attractiveness of e-textbooks
· Evaluate the availability of the e-textbook resource on more than one device
· Increase the usage of the required e-textbooks through institutional purchase.

The drivers for the pilot of e-textbooks include the electronic delivery of course material as a possible replacement of traditional printed textbooks, the adoption of e-reader technology as part of the curriculum renewal and meeting the technology expectations of the knowledge economy.

Are you involved in any e-book initiatives on campus? Share your story with us by sending an e-mail tobits.bytes@sun.ac.za.

1408767_flying_books_2 Die e-handboek loodsprojek is ŉ gesamentlike poging tussen Informasietegnologie en die Regsfakulteit. Die projek beoog om aan eerstejaarstudente in een of meer van hulle modules e-handboeke as ŉ opsie te bied. Dit sal ook uitgebrei word na die nagraadse programme by die Openbare- en Ontwikkelingsbestuur by SPL.

Deur middel van die bekendstelling van e-handboeke sal ons die sterk- en swakpunte van e-leser tegnologieë asook die bruikbaarheid van die tegnologie in die klaskamer kan bepaal.

Studente benodig buigsame meganismes om toegang tot hul akademiese hulpbronne leerstelsels, biblioteekbronne en enige ander inligtingsbronne op en af van kampus te hê. Die doelwitte vir die e-handboek loodsprojek saam met die Regsfakulteit en Skool vir Openbare Bestuur is:

Ondersoek die huidige sterk- en swakpunte van e-leser tegnologie.
Om vas te stel wat die bruikbaarheid van hierdie tegnologie in die klaskamer is.
Verminder die hoe koste van tradisionele handboeke en verbeter die estetiese kwaliteit van e-handboeke.
Evalueer die beskikbaarheid van die e-handboek hulpbron op meer as een toestel.
Verhoog die gebruik van die verlangde e-handboeke deur middel van institusionele aankope.

Die motivering vir die e-handboek loodsprojek sluit die elektroniese aflewering van kursusmateriaal as ŉ moontlike vervanging van gedrukte, tradisionele handboeke in, die inbruikneming van e-leser tegnologie as deel van die kurrikulum hernuwing en om die tegnologiese verwagtinge van die kennis-ekonomie te vervul.

Is jy betrokke by enige e-boek inisiatiewe op kampus. Deel jou storie met ons deur e-pos te stuur aan bits.bytes@sun.ac.za.
