Educational systems

Today, SLU has largely the same set of support systems for the courses as all major universities in Sweden.

Systems that talk to each other and login via ad account

• Most systems already have connections between them to minimize duplication, and work on integrations is ongoing
• Employees and students can log in via their ad account to almost all of our systems

Because we at SLU have all support systems gathered in one administrative object:

• we can easily get an overview of the systems and can develop them effectively
• we minimize the risk of several systems doing the same thing and
• we can more easily manage and assess security risks with integrations

Primarily using the sector-wide support systems means that:

• we avoid a lot of complicated procurement processes
• we can influence system development more easily
• we can take advantage of the universities' collective competence
  • in terms of pedagogical and technical system issues
• many teachers, students and administrators from various institutions of higher learning participate
  • in requirements and the testing of new systems

All support systems for the courses are gathered in one administrative object

The administrative object has an administrative manager from the IT department and the administration's steering committee includes representatives from the Education department, the IT department, unit manager systems and media and the head of Learning and Digitalisation (chairman)
