By moving to laptops and cloud in Chemical Engineering, Imperial College London's ICT Team aim to support BYOD, improve student feedback and re-purpose 2900ft² of lab estate.

The infographic below shows how Imperial College London moved STEM apps to cloud.

Key takeaways include;

Use of fixed machines (labs) decreased
Number of first year students using labs decreased most dramatically
Students favor external (off campus) access to software apps
Access to software increases when labs would normally be closed
Students provide more positive survey results
Repurposing of real estate worth $10m

The use of cloud storage, Office 365 and Application Jukebox [AppsAnywhere] to facilitate a move to laptops has freed up space, improved student feedback, and changed and improved teaching. We now spend our time supporting students and not PCs.
