Overview
of Services How to Request Classroom Equipment Classrooms with Built-In Educational Technology |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
Classroom Educational Technology Services (formerly Audio-Visual Learning Resource Center or A-VLRC) supports faculty and students in the application of educational technology and media to teaching and learning. CETS provides services to university classes identified by the Office of the Registrar in its scheduling system and assigned to main campus classrooms in Healy, ICC, Lauinger 158, Maguire, New North, New South, Reiss, St. Mary’s, Walsh, White Gravenor, and Car Barn 301, 303, and 315. At the request of faculty and students, CETS provides the resources below to main campus classrooms either by delivering them or making them available in cabinets and lecterns with the equipment built-in. (See Classrooms with Built-In Educational Technology charts.) What resources are either built into classrooms or available for delivery from CETS?
What software is on classroom computers? CETS classroom computers are loaded with current versions of the software listed below. Computers with Zip 100 and CD-ROM drives can be requested. All classrooms have access to the Internet and the University network.
How do I arrange to have special software installed on a classroom computer prior to my class? Classroom computers are protected from patron installation of software by a security program. To arrange for installing special software prior to class, make an appointment with the CETS Classroom Computer Coordinator at least five business days in advance. No software will be installed on classroom computers during class time or the period immediately preceding a class. Can I use my own laptop for classroom teaching or presentations? If you are connecting your laptop to a classroom computer projector for the first time, you should test your laptop to ensure it will work with CETS projectors. To make an appointment for testing, call CETS a business day or more before your scheduled classroom use. CETS provides the VGA cable (15-pin male) to connect your laptop to the computer projector. You will need to provide accessories such as the laptop power cord; an external floppy, zip, or CD drive; docking port; or network cable.
For demonstrations of the use of built-in classroom educational technology, contact John Steitz, CETS Senior Zone Manager, at 7-2509. For consulting on designing new instruction space and renovating existing classrooms/auditoria to incorporate the latest technology, call Mark Cohen, CETS Director. For consultation to help identify and meet your special needs, call CETS to speak with the Zone Manager for your classroom building. Your Zone Manager also supervises equipment set up and can demonstrate how to use the technology in your classroom. For immediate help with the technology in your classroom, look for a Classroom Assistance Hotline phone in the corridor outside your classroom. (This is not the line for making requests for equipment.)
