Information Science Experimental Teaching Center

Summarize

Huazhong Agricultural University, relying on 1561 LISS authorization points, focuses on "efficient course scheduling collaboration + login traceability" to deeply integrate with the school's identity authentication and timetable data. This covers multiple scenarios such as public computer lab sessions, large-scale computer exams, and socialized training across the university, using data to support teaching reform and achieve a dual improvement in management efficiency and security compliance.

Project Overview

The Information Science Experimental Teaching Center of Huazhong Agricultural University undertakes the university's public computer lab teaching tasks, while also frequently handling unplanned scheduling needs such as university-wide computer exams, external training programs from companies like Kingsoft and Fiberhome, and numerous annual competitions. Previously, the center faced multiple management challenges: unplanned scheduling relied on manual Excel recording, making it cumbersome to check available computer labs and posing a high risk of conflicts; coordinating scheduling for large-scale events across multiple computer labs was difficult, and scheduling efficiency was low during peak hours like lunchtime; student usage lacked real-name tracking, resulting in insufficient security traceability and behavioral control; and equipment and software usage data was scattered, making it difficult to support teaching reform decisions. To solve these problems, the center urgently needs an integrated system to achieve multiple goals, including optimizing the scheduling process, ensuring computer lab security, and mining data value.

User needs

• Efficient scheduling and collaboration: Supports unplanned scheduling (computer-based exams, training, competitions), enabling quick operations for adding, adjusting, and canceling classes, and synchronous scheduling across multiple computer labs; provides conflict detection function, real-time monitoring of computer lab availability, supports teacher self-application and administrator approval processes, and facilitates data export and query.

• Login tracking and security control: Enable real-name authentication for computer access and full usage tracking to meet security traceability requirements; conduct behavior control such as internet access restrictions during examinations to ensure standardized computer-based testing.

• Data collection and visualization: Statistics on computer lab sessions by departments/majors, student computer lab time, and equipment and software usage rates are presented visually on a large screen to provide data support for teaching reform.

• Intelligent operation and maintenance and scenario adaptation: Supports timed power on/off of terminals and automatic power off when idle; provides a full view of computer room seating for class scheduling to meet the requirements of spaced seating during exams; allows input of teaching URLs and recording of access data to adapt to teaching scenarios.

• Long-term functional expansion: Reserves data collection and statistics functions for experimental projects to meet the needs of future teaching management upgrades.

Solution

Based on the core needs of the center, the Ouyi Cloud LISS system builds an integrated solution of "scheduling collaboration + security management + data collection + intelligent operation and maintenance":

• A comprehensive scheduling collaboration system: deeply integrated with the school's unified identity authentication and timetable data, synchronizing timetables daily; supports rapid unplanned scheduling, simultaneous scheduling across 8-9 computer labs, real-time display of computer lab availability, and efficient scheduling during peak hours such as lunchtime; built-in scheduling conflict detection function with automatic alerts for duplicate scheduling; establishes a "teacher self-application - administrator online approval" process, supports one-click query and export of scheduling data, and meets the needs of leadership verification.

• Real-name login and full record keeping: Single sign-on authentication is enabled, and students' login and login routes, usage time and other information are recorded throughout the computer session to form a complete traceability file; Internet blocking and other behavioral security policies are configured in the examination scenario to ensure the fairness and standardization of computer-based examinations.
  

• Full-dimensional data collection and visualization: Automated collection of data such as the distribution of computer lab sessions for different majors, student lab time, equipment utilization rate, and software usage; input of teaching URLs such as "Integrated Experiment" and recording of access frequency; real-time visualization of core data through a large screen to provide quantitative basis for teaching reform.
  

• Intelligent operation and maintenance and scenario adaptation: Configure seat view for all computer rooms to support visual verification of students sitting in alternate seats during exams; support timed power on/off and automatic power off when idle to reduce energy consumption and operation and maintenance costs; provide operation and maintenance functions such as remote wake-up to improve equipment management efficiency.

• Flexible upgrade options are reserved: The system has a built-in experimental project data collection and statistics module, which can be connected to subsequent needs without additional modifications, realizing standardized management and data aggregation of experimental projects.
  

Customer Value

• A qualitative leap in scheduling efficiency: Unplanned scheduling no longer requires manual operation with Excel; conflict detection and real-time query of available computer labs significantly shorten scheduling time for large-scale events across computer labs; the teacher self-application process reduces communication costs; data export is convenient, meeting scheduling and verification needs in multiple scenarios.

• Comprehensive implementation of computer-based security management: Real-name login and full-process record keeping meet security traceability requirements, online banning policies ensure standardized computer-based testing, and seat view ensures that requirements such as spacing between seats are accurately implemented.

• Data supports teaching reform: Multi-dimensional computer lab usage data is automatically collected and visualized to present core indicators such as equipment and software utilization rates and departmental and professional distribution, providing a scientific basis for teaching resource optimization and reform decisions.

• Reduced operation and maintenance costs: Features such as scheduled power on/off and automatic shutdown when idle reduce manual intervention, and remote operation and maintenance improve equipment management efficiency, comprehensively reducing labor and energy costs.

• Deeply adaptable to various scenarios: Seamlessly supports diverse scenarios such as school-wide public computer lab sessions, large-scale computer-based exams, social training, and competitions. The functional design reserves the need for long-term management upgrades and adapts to the center's continuous development.
