Teaching and Learning Facilities

Teaching and Cluster Rooms

There are about 40 Clusters of PCs (total: c.1300 PCs), each providing (a) a teaching facility and (b) a place for students to carry out their work when not in use for teaching. Two of the largest Cluster Rooms (Old Library, and Robinson Library) are never used for teaching; these are probably the best-known rooms on campus.

The University's Lecture Theatres are furnished by ISS with PCs, data/video projectors, sound systems, and a range of other equipment required to enhance academic teaching.

Other facilities

Teaching systems include the Blackboard VLE, streaming media, video services provided by ISS Television Services, and the ReCap service, which facilitates lectures being made available online almost instantly.

"EasyAccess" is the name used to describe facilities made available via ISS and the Disability Support Unit to make access to computing and work facilities easy for everyone. This means accessible buildings, desks, equipment, and literature.
