Busy campus today as its an open day. As usual we have a stand telling students what to expect when they get here, and what they might need to know about IT facilities.
Building on our success as being number one for student experience this year, we've devised a new set of web pages and a small booklet with the Ten Great Things in IT here in Sheffield.
Also today, the Student Summer of Innovation awards were announced - I blogged last week about the selection process, and now can tell you about the 20 projects that will be funded. You can see a complete list here and read about them in detail. There's some really good ones. To give you an idea of the diversity of them they include:
- An app to encourage female students to break gender stereotypes
- A flashcard revision system for veterinary students
- The Duct Tape University - an Open Education Resource discovery and publishing tool for learning communities
- Homicidium - a nomadic campus game which aims to introduce students to elements of their modules in a day long murder hunt.
Will be really exciting watching them all develop over the summer.
