Technological Resources

The college has approximately 800pcs working for student and staff access but
there are approx. 20 additional computers waiting to be assigned. This is an
ongoing cost as pcs need replacing and updating. There are also laptops
available for booking from the library for use in the library.

The internet is provided through a system called JANET. This stands for Joint
Academic Network and is based at Hull Uni but provides schools and colleges
internet across the city. It costs approx. 8000 for 100 megabit speed. The
college is currently in negotiations to upgrade to 1gigabyte speed but this would
cost 11,000 per year and there would be the cost of installation too. (other
cities that dont rely on KCom would be charged about 3000 for our current
service and 8000 for the faster speed.)

MS Office and the other windows software cost the college approx. 8000 per
year (its based on staff numbers not student numbers)

The college spends approximately 8000 on other software e.g. maths and
science etc.

Adobe photoshop has 500 licences only put on 500 machines and cant be
upgraded unless the college pays more money.

Web filtering software costs 4000 and has been upgraded to Light Speed Web
Filtering Service. This software allows staff to have more influence over which
sites their students can access.

All work is backed up onto the college servers each night and a major back up is
made each Friday night.
