In an effort to enhance access to teaching software, the University of Manchester is gearing up to introduce AppsAnywhere demos in September and early October. AppsAnywhere, the university’s portal for IT-supported teaching applications, was initially implemented in PC clusters last year. Now, starting from September 2025, it will extend its accessibility to students’ personal laptops, PCs, and IT-managed staff devices, ensuring seamless access to essential tools for teaching and learning regardless of location.
The upcoming online demonstrations are open to all university staff, with a special invitation to those involved in teaching, lesson delivery, or student support. Whether you are a newcomer to AppsAnywhere or seeking to update your knowledge, the demos will encompass various aspects, including accessing AppsAnywhere from Cluster PCs and staff devices, enabling students to access specific apps from their personal devices, and exploring key functionalities like app list creation and sharing.
Interested participants can choose from a series of demo dates, including Wednesday, 17 September at 14:00, Thursday, 18 September at 10:00, Tuesday, 30 September at 10:00, and Thursday, 2 October at 14:00. To secure a spot, individuals are encouraged to register via the provided sign-up sheet.
For staff members currently utilizing software applications in their courses, it is vital to take necessary steps to guide students in using AppsAnywhere to access all IT-supported teaching and learning applications by September 2025. Ensuring the availability of required software at the beginning of the term is crucial. More information on available software and access instructions can be found in the dedicated StaffNet article titled “Teaching & learning software for 2025/26 – what will be available and how to access it.”
In conclusion, the introduction of AppsAnywhere demos signifies a significant step towards modernizing the university’s educational technology infrastructure, fostering a more streamlined and accessible approach to utilizing teaching software. By embracing these advancements, the University of Manchester is poised to enhance the teaching and learning experience for both staff and students alike.
