Alistair's email about providing software offers to students and the Irish presentation at FAM which showed an O2 portal for discount phone buying demonstrate that shib can be used to facilitate special offers for students.
Are institutes using Shib widely to prove affiliation and enable offers for students? If so what offers are being provided?
I think it's potentially an additional key selling point for the benefits of federated access . Certainly in terms of the STEM based Dreamspark offer we are looking at moving from 700 users being able to access via a clunky time consuming manual account creation process to 14,000 users being able to access via a seamless automated shibboleth login.
