Based at our new Leeds City Campus at Trevelyan Square, our Computer Science students will have access to the following:
The Apporto Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) solution provides a powerful, and flexible teaching aid. Whether from their personal or university devices, each student will have access to their own Virtual Machine (VM) at home, on the move, or in the labs. This empowers students to acquire a mix of virtual and hands-on experience.
There are 2 high-specification Computer Science Laboratories that each contain 32 student positions. Most modules will be taught in these labs supported by the Apporto VDI.
The Cyber Security Lab contains 11 student positions. This lab will form the hub for all cyber security/networking-related modules and will be supported by access to physical equipment for a hands-on experience.
Each student position has a 27” UDH/4K monitor, and the latest Optiplex Plus 7020 (RAM: 16 GB DDR5, Processor: i5 14600 vPro) desktop workstation. Ideal for scrutinising lines of code, configuring network devices via console, or colour coordinating a new app.
AV and Display Equipment to support teaching:
With three LG 55’’ UHD/4K (3840 x 2160, 60Hz) wall-mounted displays per lab, students can easily follow every slide, video, or live demonstration from their seated position. Crisp audio playback can be heard in all locations in the room, or to remote attendees via Teams. Additionally, ceiling-mounted Aver (Pan Tilt Zoom) PTZ Cameras with AI auto tracking, 12x optical zoom, and 4K resolution will empower lesson recording technologies such as Panopto and Teams. Whether studying remotely or revising for end-of-term assessments, students can revisit every second of past lectures with eyewatering quality.
