Student Mobile Workspaces

Student Mobile Workspaces

Having a powerful mobile workspace has become a crucial 

component in higher education. The Student Mobile Workspaces 

Infographic gathers mobile device statistics from 2013–2014, 

showing how the challenges of the mobile campus can be transformed 

into new opportunities for learning!

The wide variety of smartphones, tablets, laptops and other mobile devices used on campus by students and faculty create a significant opportunity for anytime, anywhere learning.

58% of students own three or more mobile devices.

89% of students own a laptop

43% of students own a desktop computer

31% of students own a tablet

76% of students own a smartphone

16% of students own an e-reader

The challenge for colleges and universities is to bridge the gap between 

the expectations of campus users and the capabilities of the institution. 

94% of higher ed leaders agree that students today should be able to 

remotely access all the information, data and software they need, on any 

device, at any time, and with a consistent user experience. But 55% said

their institution 55% does not provide remote access to students.

Tech in the Classroom

Tech in the Classroom

Generation Z, also referred to as Digital Natives, represents the first 

demographic of students to grow up in a hyper-connected and 

tech-savvy classroom. Starting at 2005 and ending in 2025, this 

graphic will explore how tech implementations change the classroom 

landscape in a 20 year period.

27 ways to flip the classroom

27 ways to flip the classroom

I suggest that flipping is about getting students to learn content out of class

so when they come to class we can do something to use that content knowledge.

Speccy

Speccy

I often work on a computer and after loading Windows, 

I now need to find the drivers.

I use speccy to find out what’s inside the computer. 

It is really quick and gives me all the information that I need.

The other great thing is that it is FREE!!!

Above is the specs of my computer that I used to test.

Comes up in 20 seconds!

I like the fact that it gives you the overview, but you can then 

go into every category for a more descriptive diagnostic.

Very cool!!

Windows Classic Shell

Windows Classic Shell

I you are like me, I really like the traditional start menu.

I am amazed at how many people feel the same.

I love the fact that Windows 10 has the start menu back again.

If however you are still using Windows 8, have a look at

Classic Shell.  This resets the face on modern OSes making 

them look like they used to

Very cool!!
