Tech Tip of the Week: Media equipment you’ll need for finals

From the IT Group:

It’s that time of year when final presentations will be occurring and the need for media equipment will increase dramatically. Did you know that if you teach in a classroom that will require additional media equipment, you can request what you need through the IT Group HelpDesk? Simply complete the media equipment request form at www.keene.edu/it/helpdesk/equipreqform.cfm. It is important to do it early because there is a limited supply available.

You may also be in a building that has a media equipment closet where the piece of equipment you need is already housed. Those closets are located in: the Arts Center, Butterfield Hall, Huntress Hall, Joslin Hall, Media Arts Center, Morrison Hall and Parker Hall. You can view the equipment located in these closets by clicking on the “Media Equipment Closet Schedules” link in Outlook Public Folders. You can reserve the equipment you need right there and then pick it up when you need it. If you don’t have a key to that closet, contact the HelpDesk and we’ll be happy to provide you with one. Remember to reserve your equipment early to be sure it is available and ready to go when you need it!

Also, remind your students before the big day that they should TEST their presentations using the technology in the classroom. This will give them an opportunity to catch any issues or incompatibilities ahead of time. If you or your students have a Macintosh computer and would like to use it in the classroom, the HelpDesk has adaptors available to borrow.

Please contact the HelpDesk at 358-2532, e-mail helpdesk@keene.edu or stop by our office on the 2nd floor of Elliot Hall if you have any questions concerning this or any other technology issue.
