This page is student orientated and also appears within My Manchester, so students are kept informed of the facilities available.
The software portfolio of Teaching and Learning applications (available via the Windows 7 desktop) has been refreshed and updated over the summer. The PC Cluster software locator can be queried to ascertain what is available and where. We would strongly advise you to check that any requested applications are available in the correct version and deployed to the required location(s). Where time allows, a check of applications 2 weeks prior to commencement of teaching is ideal, to allow for the resolution of any identified issues.
