Classroom Equipment Tutorials and Instructions

FALL 2009

CMET staff have been working to streamline the equipment systems in the classrooms. By the start of Fall Term 2009, we will have only 2 equipment systems on campus. Both the Crestron and Extron systems will include a computer/video projector, DVD and VCR players and a sound system. In many rooms there is also a document camera installed.

Harmon Kardon By the start of Fall Term 2009, all Harmon Kardon systems will be upgraded to either Crestron or Extron systems.

The two user friendly systems do require some amount of practice in their operation.
We suggest that you:

Review the Classroom Specifications. This page lists all the general use classrooms and the equipment system type, seating styles, pictures of the classrooms, links for text and video instructions, room reservation request forms, and schedules of group equipment tutorials.
Visit your classroom in advance of the term starting to make sure you know how to operate the installed equipment.
Plan to attend one of our group tutorials listed below
Review our text directions for the classroom type in which you will be teaching.
If you still need more practice, and one on one instruction, feel free to contact us at 346-0766 or mediasvc@uoregon.edu for an individual tutorial.

NOTE: We will not be able to provide individual tutorials during the first week of the term. Please plan to visit your room BEFORE the term starts.

Online Tutorials

Starboard/Panel Tutorial (Must be viewed using Internet Explorer) Starboards are both a bright, high resolution monitor and a precision input device, allowing the user to annotate, highlight, or revise their presentations freely, in real time right on the screen using an ergonomic stylus. Starboard systems automatically capture meeting notes, annotated presentation, even images from digital video in formats that you can easily archive, print, e-mail or post on web servers for later review using any standard browser. There are many Starboards installed in UO classrooms. In order to use them, free software must be installed on your laptop. Media Services has the software available. The resident computers in the Lillis Building already have the software installed.

Have a fun and successful year!
