Media Services operates on a first-come, first-served basis; there are no exceptions to this policy.

Media Services maintains a variety of audio/visual equipment for use by students in the completion of class assignments. Equipment is available to Freeman students who comply with these guidelines.

Media services functions through the scheduling of student A/V technicians and therefore relies on advanced planning for the scheduling of services. To facilitate this scheduling, always try to reserve equipment at least seven days in advance. Weekend Reservations must be made not later than Monday afternoon. Reservations submitted less than 24 hours in advance will not be honored. In order to reserve equipment you must complete a Media Services Request Form. The form is linked above.  All class requests must include the course number AND SECTION (e.g., ACCN 1234-01).  Other requests must first obtain a space reservation before requesting equipment.  All requests are processed in the order in which they are received. The event requestor or instructor will receive a confirmation email once the equipment form is processed.

All audio/visual equipment is property of Media Services and should not be taken out of the A. B. Freeman School of Business.

Remember, lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on the part of Media Services.

 

All classrooms in GWBC are equipped with ceiling mounted projectors and/or flat panel video screens and Dell Workstation computer with a wireless keyboard and PowerPoint navigator available.. All computers have access to the building network and the Internet. If you need access to software not available on the network, please consult with Wayne Dolese in the Management Technology Center to ensure that software you may require for your presentation is on the computer. Rooms also include a lavaliere microphone and assistive listening equipment if needed.

Equipment is controlled through a Graphical User Interface touch panel e.

Each room is also equipped with a Document Camera,  Blu-ray  player and ROKU box for display of Cable Television..

In addition, your laptop computer can connect using a cable.  In some classrooms, wireless connection is available. 

IMPORTANT NOTE: Use of equipment in classrooms requires prior room reservation in the 25Live room scheduling system.  Requests for equipment without a reservation cannot be processed.

 

Several items are available on an “as needed” basis and will be brought to rooms when properly requested. Mobile equipment available through Media Services includes:

• A Bloomberg Terminal
• A TurningPoint audiences response kit
• A Conference telephone set.

 

Cameras are available to videotape professor and student classroom presentations. If the lecturer is a guest, please obtain a talent release form from Media Services and have it signed by the speaker. The purpose of classroom taping is to provide a historical record of a speaker or presentation. It is NOT an excuse to skip class. All requests for classroom taping must be submitted by the instructor and approved by the director. Only A/V Technicians are allowed to operate the equipment.

Recordings are published to the university’s course management system, Canvas, via ShareStream.  Some rooms are equipped with lecture capture recorders (MediaSite) that also publish to Canvas.  Some recordings can be recorded to DVDs on a case by case basis.

 

Professors sometimes require a recorded presentation as part of your final grade. Coordinate with your professor and Media Services to schedule a shoot time. Only those people directly involved in the presentation will be allowed in the studio. Since these presentations are graded and hold a direct bearing on your final course performance, scheduling the shoot at least seven days in advance is advised.

 

Most classrooms have full size lecterns. Easels, and flip-chart stands and pads are also available. Since the quantity of these items is limited, you should make your requests well in advance to avoid possible scheduling conflicts.

 

Media Service operates a number of video bulletin boards throughout the Freeman School. Known as TargetVision, students may use these monitors to post messages for the benefit of the school's students, faculty, and staff.

To post a message, a message request form must be completed. Media Services reserves the right to make changes to any message in order to meet formatting requirements. These changes will be made without notice by a member of the Media Services staff. A "Kill

Date" or a date when the message should stop running is required. If no "Kill Date" is indicated on the Video Message Request Form, the message will run for no more than 30 days.

Emergency messages can be put on the TargetVision system. The nature of an emergency message shall be made at the sole discretion of the Director of Media Services.

All video intended for classroom use should be in electronic format (.MP4 is preferred). If you wish to dub a copyrighted tape to DVD or to a file for classroom use, your request will be met provided the original is left in the media services archives or the copyright holder has issued a written waiver allowing the copying of the tape.

Media Services cannot make copies of copyrighted material without written consent of the copyright holder. REMEMBER: It is unethical and a violation of federal law to steal another's work through copyright infringement.
