Learn how Imperial College London have made the journey to student BYOD, including how IT were able to repurpose lab square footage and enable open-access learning areas.

In this session, Imperial College London's End User Computing expert Neil Hanham discusses why and how the university made the move to student BYOD, and what this has meant for the students and student outcomes.

By enabling on-demand access to academic software anywhere and anytime, Imperial have been able to repurpose dedicated computer lab space into open-access learning areas. This has meant that students can use any managed campus device, and their own BYO devices, to access software anywhere on and off campus.

Thanks to this flexible approach to delivering academic software, Imperial College London have also been able to reduce and repurpose dedicated computer lab space in the heart of the UK's capital; one of the most expensive real estate markets on the planet!

This session covers:

Why their previous approaches couldn't achieve BYOD
The benefits and reasons behind reducing lab square footage
Using AppsAnywhere to deliver software on-demand
