"Like many research-intensive institutions, the University of Glasgow has in place a small team to facilitate transformation across a range of different functions.
Our initiative focuses on a small number of projects intended to make our operations more efficient, while also improving the experience of staff and students"
David Duncan, Chief Operating Officer, and University Secretary
Part of the transformation agenda within the University is to explore new ways of working. We are currently running an Automation proof of concept. This means we are building and deploying virtual workers to help reduce the pressure on teams who manage the high volume administrative tasks that are essential to the smooth running of services. Adding virtual workers to teams means that time can be freed up to focus on other activities.
We are supporting the University to develop a sector-leading, evidence-based inclusive approach to assessment and feedback that enables our students to be lifelong, self-regulated learners and to actively contribute to assessment and feedback processes. At the heart of our approach will be meaningful, diverse, and inclusive assessment that is responsive to changes in higher education and the workplace.
We work in the intersection between human empathy and technology.
The Digital Expereince Team works to unlock the potential of UofG's digital platforms, utilising many years of collective experience, innovation and collaborative problem solving.
Our priority is to develop and maintain a core University app to improve our student experience and help connect our global community. The UofG Life app provides features such as your timetable, clubs & societies, find a space & many more. Find out crucial information and access services in real-time. It is a must-have mobile product built by students, for students.
We are supporting the University's Timetabling & Teaching Planning for the 23-24 academic year. This includes supporting the Timetabling & Room Allocations process changes for AY23-24.
The University is a complex environment, with people, processes, and systems operating collaboratively. Our services enable students and staff to achieve goals, but user expectations and the needs of the organisation continue to evolve. That’s where design comes in.
Guidance on tools and techniques that can be used to overcome a variety of challenges. Our webpages provide information on the latest working practices designed to simplify and improve the delivery of change on both a small and large scale.
