Office 365 – the future for Maties e-mail

Thursday, January 30th, 2014

Student numbers have been increasing rapidly over the past few years and with it the need for more e-mail storage space. Up till now student mail has been hosted on the university’s mail servers, but we’re starting to run out of space.

Information Technology has been investigating all the possible solutions and came to the conclusion that Office 365 would be the best choice for student e-mail in the near future.

MS Office and Microsoft operating systems are used in student computer user areas and would integrate seamlessly with this existing technology.

This project is currently still in a planning phase, but in the near future the university will make use of Microsoft’s free Office 365 service and during 2014 all student e-mails will be moved to the “cloud.”

*Please take note that Office 365 is not yet on the cards for SU staff. Office 2010 will remain the approved software for usage on campus.*

No more queues to register your device

Thursday, January 30th, 2014

Students can now register electronic devices (laptops, tablets, etc.) online, when accessing the network via Wi-Fi  hotspots with the SSID RegisterMe functionality.

The self-registration service is also available in residences when plugging in your device at a network point.

A self-help guide is also available on the student wiki.

  • A new IT HUB has been established in Admin A, accessible from under the bridge on die Rooiplein. The same services offered at the previous IT Student Centre in Joubert Street are offered; however the new, larger venue with air-conditioning and seating hopes to introduce a faster, more efficient service to students.

Students win at tech fest

Thursday, October 24th, 2013
A Tech Fest with a number of prizes, some big discounts and the opportunity to try out the latest technology and to play with it, was held in the Neelsie on Tuesday 22 October.

The Tech Fest is an initiative of the Student Technology Programme (STP), whose objective it is to offer affordable tablets and laptops for purchase to all students of public universities across South Africa.

Students and staff had the opportunity to get some valuable information on the technology on offer via STP and could also try out some of the products.

The Maties Dance Society entertained the crowd over lunchtime and the names of the winners of the October Tech Fest competition were drawn. Watch video here.

STP celebrates October with tech fest

Friday, October 18th, 2013

Over the past year a new technology initiative aimed mainly at students, has slowly, but surely spread across campuses nationwide.

STP, or the Student Technology Programme‘s objective is to offer affordable tablets and laptops for purchase to all students of public universities across South Africa.

This Wednesday (22 October), staff and students will have the opportunity to have a look at what the programme offers in the Neelsie between  9:00 and 16:00

Devices will not only be displayed, you’ll also be able to play around with them and who knows, maybe even win a brand new toy … If you’d like to procure a nifty new piece of technology for yourself, you can also order one on this day.

If you want to win one of these new devices, you can also try your hand at entering the October Tech Fest competition – 

1. Go to www.sun.ac.za/ithub

2. Click on the link.

3. Complete the 10 competition questions.

4. Send it to student@sun.ac.za

Four tablets are up for grabs and you could be one of the lucky winners. The names of the winners will be announced on Tuesday between 13:00 and 14:00 in the Neelsie during a special events with a surprise or two – be prepared to be entertained.

Just remember, to qualify for your prize, you have to be in the Neelsie between 13:00 and 14:00 to claim your prize otherwise another name will be drawn.

More on the technology on display and the Student Technology Programme, browse to www.sun.ac.za/ithub  or  www.stp.ac.za.

Moodle takes over from Vista & Blackboard

Friday, May 24th, 2013

From 2014 Stellenbosch University’s electronic learning management system will switch from Vista and Blackboard to Moodle, an  open source eLearning system. The switch to another system was necessitated from a change in the University’s strategy and shortcomings in the existing system that could not be corrected. The decision was based on a thorough investigation. Henceforth Moodle will be the standard eLearning system of the University.

A task team (Johann Kistner, drs Antoinette van der Merwe & JP Bosman and ms Marinda van Rooyen) facilitated the evaluation, including consulations with academic, administrative and support services staff. The success of systems, as well as the scale on which they were used by other universities, were also looked at. In the end a decision was made based on a set of predefined, weighed criteria. The following was taken into account:

  1. Off-campus access to the system must be reliable, because of the significant growth in the use of e-Learning Technology from outside campus:  service courses,      postgraduate modules, and students working from their homes.
  2. A reliable assessment component, because e-assessment is increasingly  used.
  3. A mobile interface that works on all equipment, due to the huge increase in the use of mobile devices (phones, tablets, laptops) to access the learning        management system.
  4. An accurate tracking system, because the tracking of students’ progress are critical for student success.
  5. Off-line functionality, which is very important in the (South) African context. The system must provide for students learning materials and other information to easily sync to their devices while on campus or via the network, and then to work at home without having to be online all the time.
  6. A more flexible licensing model, because community involvement and working with schools and other universities, especially on the African continent (e.g. in the CHEC courses and schools support) means that restrictive license agreements is not sustainable.

On a practical level this means that Moodle will be used for all modules from January and Vista and Blackboard will only be available for 2013 modules until March 2014. (until after the  last exam opportunity)

The short time span before implementation is planned presents substantial challenges for lecturers to migrate information in time and also for IT to ensure that servers are ready for the change. The project is currently being defined and the team is sticking to a tight time line to ensure that this goal will be achieved.

More information will also be communicated in future editions of Bits & Bytes.
