LX at UTS is now Education Express. Keep reading to find out more about these changes, and what they mean for the site and for the UTS learning and teaching community.
Changes to organisational structure
It’s approaching one year since our central academic support teams at UTS were established as reorganised units within the Education Portfolio. During this period, we’ve been exploring and actioning ways in which we can be more collaborative and streamlined internally. An important part of this change is redeveloping our brand to be more representative and inclusive of the whole portfolio.
While the name may be changing, the same resources and services that were once known as ‘LX’ are still available to you. The rebrand simply reflects our new structure and represents a widening of scope to incorporate and communicate all aspects of this portfolio.
Education Express (formerly the LX at UTS website)
You may have noticed the new links/urls (if you’re using a former ‘LX’ link, you’ll be automatically directed to the correct page). We are still providing the same online experience:
- Express your opinions and promote your work in our blog – we’d love to hear your learning and teaching story
- Fast-track to starter resources on our public site, collated in more than 30 resource collections
- The weekly newsletter is an ‘express lane’ of several items, curated for you every Wednesday
We have also renamed our LinkedIn account from LX to Education Express. Connect with on our preferred community platform – we no longer have an active Twitter account.
Ed Hub (formerly the LX Lab room on campus)
The on-campus space has been renamed Ed Hub. But you’ll still find someone waiting there to help you on weekdays 10am-4pm, as the Education Portfolio remains committed to assisting you with learning technologies queries and issues. Live chat and online consultations continue as usual, with the same process of logging a ticket on ServiceConnect.
Education Portfolio Hub – a new site for UTS staff
With a wide range of SharePoint sites being established and used throughout UTS, we have set up our own. We call this new site a ‘hub’ as it summarises the Education Portfolio units and their functions, bringing together many of the existing sites already in use. Find out more about what services we provide and get the latest news by following the Education Portfolio Hub SharePoint site (UTS log-in required).
