Reminder on classroom upgrades to Windows 7 and other changes to the classroom environment over the summer
What is happening?
We would like to remind you that the annual classroom upgrades this year has involved a move from a Windows XP environment to Windows 7; this means that the logon screens and some of the dialogs are different.
The lecture theatre systems have also been upgraded to Windows 7, running a stripped down version of the classroom style PCs. This version addresses some performance issues experienced last year. You may need to run a virtual network PC if you need departmental specific software for your lectures, so do please check before term starts. For details, see the Fact Sheet at http://www.abdn.ac.uk/dit/documents/factsheets/fsgc07.pdf
There have also been a number of other changes to the service provided for students; full details can be found at www.abdn.ac.uk/dit/student/news/index_1896.php
What should you do?
If you are teaching in PC classrooms or lecture theatre please be aware and make yourself familiar with the changes.
