Student IT best practice

Contents

Description

This is a unique project that gives mathematics students the opportunity to improve their study process with the support from the IT department. Video lectures, podcasts, student app, math forum - these are the recent ideas that we took in our consideration. But this project does not restrict itself only to such "fancy" development steps. We collect information about and try to improve the IMATH-'my' webpage (https://www.math.uzh.ch/my/), I-Math mainpage (http://www.math.uzh.ch/), other uni online resources to make them more user-friendly and useful to students. Thus, we kindly advice everyone to take part in our challenging project.

Goals

1. Improvement of the study process via IT

2. Improvement of the I-Math services with the students support

analysis of the current situation
ideas on improvement
optional: implementation of the ideas

Roadmap

Analysis of the I-Math services
Survey students and assistants
Which other services are used by students (OLAT?)
Which services are demanded
Comparison with other universities

 * '''WLAN''': The VPN technology allows the UZH members to use internet at some public places as train stations and hospitals '''for free'''. The password for the VPN can be set up and changed at the Identity Manager.

 * '''Mail / Tasks / Calendar''': The Uni webmail allows users to access not only their Domino-based mail but calendar, schedule, to-do list, contacts, and notebook (Notes Journal).
