Revision of software offered in Tredjepartsportalen

You can register your request for new software in UiB Hjelp, either during the semester or in connection with course planning. 

After the subject planning deadline each semester (15 October/1 April), the registered cases will be followed up according to the case flow below

1. The software is checked against the terms of use (see below), and you will receive an answer as to whether these are met. 
   1. Any necessary clarifications are followed up in the query in UiB Hjelp.
2. The software is sent for packaging at an external supplier
3. The software is made available for testing by those who sent the request before/at the start of the following semester, you will be notified in UiB Hjelp.
4. If the test is approved or after 1 week, the program is made available to students, and the query in UiB hjelp is closed.

1. Practical premise: Is the program compatible with apps.uib.no?
2. Technical premise: Is the program compatible with the infrastructure UiB has?
3. Financial premise: Are there licenses/money for new licenses?
4. Prioritization/guiding premise: Is the request in line with the academic community/faculty's priorities/management for the use of digital tools/digital competence?

The following needs will be prioritized if necessary:

• Software that is relevant for all/large groups of students
• Software that is incorporated as a learning objective in the subject/study programme
• The subject is to be taught next semester (possibly following semester)
• The software has an existing license model and does not have to be renegotiated or purchased, or is freely available (open-source).
• The software can be run on UiB's established back-end for students on Azure Virtual Desktop (does not require large amounts of computing power (CPU/memory) or graphics card)
• Extra priority is given in cases where the program is a candidate for completion of a school examination using software, with the proviso that use of the program is included as a learning outcome in the course and the course has a constructive alignment in line with the theory of instrumental genesis.
