Also known as : PC, Printers, IP Phone, Clickers, iPads
This service gives access to a loan pool of PCs, notebooks, Printers, IP phones and clickers and is available for short-loan by members of the faculty, staff and departments. Faculty, staff and departments who have a need for short term IT equipment may also apply to the Technology Help Centre (helpdesk@smu.edu.sg).
Additionally, 6 units of the iPad2 are also available for loan by instructors in and outside class (e.g. field trips, group activities, collaborative activities). As this initiative is still at the experimental stage, a short usage feedback would be required of both the instructor and students in order to document their experiences. The reports would go into the evaluation of provisioning iPads for teaching. Instructors who have a need to apply for the iPads may apply via email (elearn@smu.edu.sg).
