What's New: Fall 2000

Over the summer of 2000, Learning Support Services (LSS) has added a number of new and improved technology services and facilities to support you in your teaching. Some items are for use Van Hise classrooms only. But some of the new services, especially digital production and delivery, are available free to all L&S faculty.*

Multimedia computer carts
PC or Mac systems, with data projectors, network connections, and built-in DVD players. Now anyone can bring the Internet, PowerPoint, or DVD movies into the classroom.

Overhead Projectors
Each Van Hise classroom is equipped with a permanently installed overhead projector. LSS also offers workshops to learn how to create effective overhead transparencies.

TV Carts
In addition to equipment in the AV pool (275 Van Hise), there are TV carts (TV and VCR) permanently located on each floor, thus reducing the need to move equipment on the elevators.

Video Viewing Room
Our TV studio is now equipped with a large screen projector and surround sound, along with multi-format video or DVD players.

Digital Media Facilities
Capture and edit material digitally with DAT audio recorders, and digital video and still cameras. Prepare materials for use on CDs, on the web (including streaming video and audio) or in computer presentations.
