Classroom Procedures and Use

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

± 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 has multiple locked compartments each housing a different component of the system. All compartments unlock using the same key.

 

± 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 full-time faculty may acquire a podium key from Facilities Management through the normal signature/card system. Keys will only be granted after successful completion of a TEC training session.

 

± All part-time faculty may acquire a podium key for use in Center for Business & Industry building from a “key bank” at the main Security desk at the entrance to the building. Faculty will be required to enter their employee ID number via a touch pad at the Security desk and may then remove a key for use during their class. All keys must be returned immediately after the class to the “key bank” again entering the employee ID number so that it will be available for other faculty use.

 

± All part-time faculty may acquire a podium key for use in the West or Winnett buildings from Audio-Visual 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 Department of Academic Computing. 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.

± 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 that the ITDC’s capacity of 18.
