Computer Center
The role of the Computer Center
at the Copperbelt University is to direct,
manage, strategize
and develop the application of information and communication
technologies (ICT) at the university to support teaching and
learning, research outreach and professional services as well
as enhance internal administrative efficiency.
The aim is to provide a wide range of ICT services to all
members of staff and students (and eventually to the external
community).
This implies installation and support of necessary ICT infrastructure
and provision of technical skills to enable full use of
installed facilities. The department supports a variety
of business application software, databases, faculty-specific
packages and operating systems. It also develops and supports
software for use at the university. It also provides front
end support to all staff and students on the use of the
available facilities and solutions to problems encountered
by users.
Main Computer Lab
The computer center is also responsible for the installation,
maintenance and support of all computers and communication
infrastructure. These include servers, application specific
workstations, PCs, network and communication equipment (such
as telephones, radios etc). Installations of a campus-wide
network that will support the university's intranet and
external gateway to access the internet at a faster rate
are currently underway. Furthermore,apart from the main
computer lab being setup in the former staff canteen, computer
labs will be setup in all schools to allow for easy access
to I.T. facilities and hence easy access and dissemination
of local and global information |
