TECHNOLOGY EQUIPPED CLASSROOMS
Each classroom has, as a minimum configuration, an overhead
projector and screen. Several classrooms are also equipped
with slide projectors, televisions with VCRs, or data/video
projection capability. A room-by-room listing of classroom
equipment installations is also available. If you
encounter problems using these facilities, or would like to
make suggestions for improvement, please contact the Director
of Media Services at 554-4915. Requests for additional
equipment are accepted and provided on a first come first
serve basis by contacting Media Services, x4520.
VIDEO
Selected classrooms on campus are equipped with monitors
or video projectors allowing "self service" playback
of videotapes. These systems are accessible by checking
out a key from Media Services.
COMPUTER PROJECTION
Use of computer projection in the classroom in 1996-97 increased
28% over the previous year, and 130% over 1994-95. Faculty
and students are using a variety of applications - including
internet connection, spread sheets, simulations, and presentations
packages - in the classroom.
Faculty and student needs for computer projection are being
met with a combination of permanently installed and portable
systems. Data Projectors are permanently mounted
in the following classrooms: O 105 (data monitor), B 210 (computer
classroom), B 236, B 331, E 101, E 326, and E 602, as well
as in many of the Business School classrooms (K 102, K 104,
K 212, K 214, K 216, K 218, K 306, K 308). Faculty and students
can hook up their laptop to these systems or request a laptop
be delivered from Media Services. IF using their own laptop,
presenters should test their laptop compatibility with
a particular room system prior to use. For assistance
in testing the in-room systems with your personal laptop,
please call Ruth Ellison, x4648.
The remaining classrooms are served by portable
projection systems - a color LCD panel with an overhead, or
a data projector - which are delivered to the classroom with
a laptop or can be hooked up to the presenter’s laptop.
IF using one of Media Services portable systems for the first
time with their own laptop, presenters should arrange a time
to test their laptop compatibility with those systems. For
assistance in testing the portable systems with your personal
laptop, please call Ruth Ellison, x4648.
To order computer projector services, please call Media Services,
x4520.
CLASSROOM ETHERNET CONNECTIVITY
Many of the classrooms on campus have ethernet ports allowing
connection to the campus wide network and the internet. Connecting
your computer to a campus ethernet connection requires that
you have an ethernet card in your laptop or pc and have a
novell account on campus. If a guest presenter is bringing
their own pc, they can log onto the campus network if they
have an ethernet card, a cat 5 data cable, and novell netware
from any educational institution installed on their computer.
They will, however, be limited to internet connection and
not be able access any campus server. For access to the university
servers, they must have an scu facutly or staff member's password.
