Our first phase will focus on a new version of Odyssey & Ody, registration solution for agents, and a business intelligence reporting solution.   Faculty laptops & mobile projectors: We are renewing our classroom faculty technology by replacing desktop computers with laptops, TV’s with mobile projectors, and desks with sit/stand mobile desks. Our first full-campus rollout was in Sydney in August, 2022 following our pilot in Vancouver of Q1 2022. ![tech-update-laptop-classroom](https://www.ilsc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Website/ILSC-ELS-Staff-Newsletter/tech-update-laptop-classroom.png?width=1410&name=tech-update-laptop-classroom.png)   Student Interns: In Q1 2022, we trialed a student intern program to provide campuses with onsite tier 1 technical support. The success of this program has warranted to continue providing intern services at all schools for the foreseeable future.   Agent resources site (ARS) -> Knowledge Hub: In October, we will be phasing out external access to the Agent Resource Site (ARS) by redirecting agents to login via the new and improved [Knowledge Hub](https://resources.ilsc.com/). The Knowledge Hub will serve marketing materials, sales information, and access to our registration system.    ILSC GENERAL English Placement Test: Our ILSC GENERAL English Placement test (aka Quick PROLA) was designed for students who didn’t have to take the full language assessment (ILSC ACADEMIC Placement Test - *formerly known as PROLA*) during the registration process. These students without a test result on their registration record, will receive an automated invite and reminders 4 weeks prior to their arrival. Approximately 85%-90% of students arriving on day 1 have completed their quick placement test which allows them to be placed into appropriate classes and enjoy other day 1 activities.   Welcome new Technology team members: Over the past 5 months we have onboarded 3 new team members who seamlessly immersed themselves into our ecosystem in supporting the technology team and needs of our users. *Leo Jeong:* Leo has joined the Systems Support team as an Infrastructure Support Analyst.
