Umass Amherst installed a touch-screen kiosk to give current students and visitors a taste of the football team’s past. Prior to the kiosk, the university only had printed media guides to give current and prospective students information on the football program. The kiosk enables the school to display 130 years of its football history, including player stats, information on the band, mascot, helmet designs and how game days were conducted. The kiosk was geared towards winning over prospective students, to keep current students engaged with the school’s football program, to impress visitors, and provide alumni a sense of nostalgia during their visits back to campus.
UMass Lowell recently installed vLabs and zero client devices to enable students to access lab assignments without actually going to the lab. vLabs is an app-based feature that enables students to access lab work through a portal; zero clients are server-based virtual devices that run like a PC, but take up less space than a computer. Combined, this solution has cut back on energy costs in UMass Lowell’s labs, and saves its commuting students time. The university’s IT team says it has also improved students’ academic success and makes the university stand out as one of the only colleges in the Northeast that has this solution.
