± All TEC entrance doors are locked and need to be opened either by key, ID card swipe, or Security personnel prior to gaining entrance. ± Each podium is locked when not in use. Older podiums (large, brown furniture-style) require one key that will open the various compartments. Newer TechPod podiums only require the side door to be opened. ± Use of the TEC podium is restricted to faculty that have successfully completed a TEC training session. Times and dates for training sessions can be found on the Academic Computing web site ± All TechPod podiums have the required key tethered inside an attached ‘lock-box’. This box has a four-digit combination that will be e-mailed to all faculty and may also be obtained from Academic Computing. Please be sure to replace the key into the box and push the door closed so the key is locked and protected inside the box. ± All full-time faculty may acquire a key for the older podium from Facilities Management through the normal signature/card system. Keys will only be granted after showing a certificate of training received from Academic Computing. ± All part-time faculty may acquire an older podium key for the CBI from the main Security desk at the entrance to the building. Faculty will be required to show the training certificate All keys must be returned immediately after the class to the Security station so they are available for use by other faculty. ± All part-time faculty may acquire an older podium key for use in the West or Winnett buildings from Multimedia Services. The key must be checked-out in a manner similar to any other piece of equipment and must be returned at the end of the class period. ± Scheduling “occasional use” (use other than regularly scheduled by the Scheduler’s office for the entire semester) of a TEC must be requested in writing through the Scheduler’s office. The preferred and easiest method is via the online form found on the Classroom Services page of the Academic Computing web site (follow the “Request a Classroom” link) and an e-mail confirmation will be returned to the requestor. ± A Quick Start document is affixed to each podium and is also available online with basic instructions for using the podium. Follow the Technology Enhanced Classrooms link on the Academic Computing web site. This document includes basic start up and shut down procedures as well as information about the various components found in each podium. 1 ± A more comprehensive User Manual with more in-depth information about the podium and its individual components may also be found following the same link as above-- Technology Enhanced Classrooms Please do not print this manual out since it is always available online for your perusal. ± Training sessions are conducted on a regular, on-going basis by the Department of Academic Computing in the Instructional Technology Development Center (ITDC) located in B2-26. Please check the Faculty Workshops link on the Academic Computing Department’s web page for the day and time most convenient for you. A customized group training session will be conducted for any academic department that desires to have a group of their faculty trained at one time. Please keep groups to no more than the ITDC’s capacity of 18. Last updated: February, 2011 Contact: Arnold DiBlasi, Jr.
