University systems
R&D/ILRT undertakes research and development work on the University of Bristol's internal research, teaching and administrative systems, working in partnership with groups such as the Public Relations Office, Centre for Public Engagement, Education Support Unit, Advanced Computing Research Centre and IT Services' own Applications Development and Web Development teams.
Examples of recent work
People ProfilerR&D/ILRT developed this system to complement the University's existing (and any new) content management system, providing a simple form-based tool that allows individuals, research groups and departments to enter and manage information about staff expertise and interests, projects and other activities. Combined with data drawn from other University systems, it publishes information in a standardised but flexible format as part of a department or school’s web pages |
Changing PerspectivesWorking with the University of Bristol's Centre for Public Engagement we built a website to publicise and encourage participation with the Changing Perspectives program - a series of events that explores the relationships between art and science. The website supports a series of exhibitions, talks, workshops and performances to inspire public discussion about contemporary issues that connect art and science. |
Course Online Booking System (COBS)A University of Bristol course / event booking system for staff and students to be given access to book on classes that are not mandated as part of the degree programme. Courses available are selected according to the organisation, degree type and year of study of the student. The system features notification reminders, booking capacity tracking and reporting tools. |
These are a just a few examples of the systems work we do for the University. You can find details of all of our current systems projects in our projects listing.
