Teaching & Learning Facilities Survey 2017

Firstly, we apologise for presenting you with another survey.  However the TEL & AV Team are committed to improving teaching facilities and it is important that we get your feedback.  Please take a few minutes to complete our survey.  It is available here and will be open until 28th July, 2017.

Just to give you a few highlights of the work carried out since last year’s survey that has taken into account your feedback:

  • New AV upgrades carried out by the team provide high quality, energy efficient audio and video.  This can be experienced in 14 new teaching rooms in Chancellor’s Building.
  • The team have obtained approval and funding from the University to carry out a number of AV upgrades for the current financial year.  See here for the schedule of works: AV Upgrades.  We are also seeking approval to continue this work over at least the next 2 years.
  • Many of the issues highlighted in last year’s survey will be resolved as the upgrade work continues.  Our new lecterns have interactive monitors, in-built cables, document cameras, and more space for laptops as standard.
  • We are working with departments to ensure AV equipment meets requirements and have been able to carry out a number of installations in-house.
  • We are continuing to investigate new technologies such as ‘BYOD’.

If you should need a demonstration of our AV equipment, please book a session using this form: Equipment Demo/Training

For any questions about this survey, please contact Helena Bampton.
