  3. Introducing the Student Response System: the “Clickers” Can be incorporated into lectures Actively engage students Increase attention Assess student understanding Students like to use them “…The use of clickers are positively viewed by undergraduate students and postgraduate students as a technology which can facilitate active learning and engagement if used appropriately with clearly aligned learning objectives” (Stagg & Lane, 2010, abstract).
  4. Resources: IT vs. Instructional Media/AV Services IT Help Desk Network and computer specific problems Instructional Media/AV All other classroom technology issues Control systems, audio systems, display devices.In some locations, lighting. Requests & delivery of supplemental equipment: cameras, audio recorders, headsets, etc. Instructional Media/Services Assist faculty with instructional design and production of instructional materials. Help faculty adopt new technologies to support their pedagogical needs.
  5. Resources: AV vs. Instructional Media Instructional Media Services typically teaches faculty how to use new equipment and tools. Later, instructor requests to use the new equipment or tool from Instructional Media AV. Example: Training is offered by Instructional Media Services in using the Student Response System, “Clickers,” then they are reserved and provided through AV.

  25. Lower or Raise the Screen UP DOWN
  26. Hand Held Remote All models have a POWER button.
  27. Usually several sources of content; i.e. DVD Player, computer, document camera Correctly select the source that you wish to display. Tip: When a projector is on, but is not receiving a source signal, it will project a blue standby screen.

    Step 3. Select Your Source for Projection

  28. Mediatech Row of buttons labeled INPUT SELECT (1) Labeled for PC, Doc Cam, DVD player, etc. Only ONE of these sources can be selected at a time. 1
  29. Projector Patrol Note the SOURCE buttons (1). Configured for each room. If a room does not have a DVD player, it will not have a button for that function. 1
  30. Hand Held Remote All have SOURCE buttons. If you need two of the same type of input, but the remote has only one button for that type of input, then the button must be selected twice.
  31. Hand Held Remote Many remotes include a ‘source search’ button that can be used to cycle through all of the available inputs.
  32. Many possible sources: computers laptops audio and video recordings document cameras and web cams Many already installed in classroom If you need special equipment:Submit a request to AV and AV will integrate that equipment into the classroom for you.

    Step 4. Devices

  33. Mediatech All have a DVD/VCR combo unit, a document camera, a standard PC and a connection for laptops.
  34. Projector Patrol Varies from one room to another A DVD/VCR combo unit and document camera are standard. Many rooms also include laptop connectivity.
  35. Hand Held Remote Also varies from one room to another A DVD/VCR combo unit and document cameraare standard.
  36. During my class time I often share: 2D object;i.e., a page in a book 3D object PowerPoint orother projection You may select as many as you’d like.Press the numbers in sequence.
  37. All have ZOOM, FOCUS, and BUILT-IN LIGHTING More information about using various models is available to you as a video on our wiki.

    Step 4a.Document Camera

  38. Document Camera & Mediatech Document cameras are connected to the Mediatech systems. Press the DOC CAM button (1) as an INPUT SELECT on Mediatech, and the document camera is projected. All of the individual controls for cameras are on the camera. 1
  39. Document Camera &Projector Patrol & Hand-Held Remotes In these rooms the document camera is controlled through the computer. Click on Computer as a Video Source on Projector Patrol. Press the document camera source button on the document camera itself. Controls for camera are on the camera. For more information see our wiki. 2
  40. Document Cameras Turn it on Focus/Zoom Select Source
  41. Document Cameras Turn it on Focus/Zoom Select Source
  42. Most of the DVD and VCR players on campus are combo units. In some parts of the college there may only be a VCR, because a DVD can also be played through the PC.

    Step 4b.VCR/DVD Players

  43. VCR/DVD Players & Mediatech All Mediatech consoles have a DVD/VCR combo unit. Click on the VCRor DVDbutton above INPUT SELECT. Playback controls: PLAY, PAUSE, REWIND, FAST FORWARD, and MENUselections are all controlled through Mediatech. These functions only become available when the VCR or DVD source button has been selected. 1
  44. VCR/DVD Players & Projector Patrol Most of the rooms with Projector Patrol also have a VCR/DVD combo unit. A separate remote, located in the room,is used to switch between VCR and DVD. Use the remote to control the VCR/DVD playback.
  45. VCR/DVD Players & Hand Held Remote Similar to Projector Patrol, these rooms have a separate remote for the DVD/VCR unit. These rooms are also more likely to have a standalone VCR, and require the computer for DVD playback using Windows Media Player, or another program.
  46. Most, but not all, of the rooms on-campus are equipped to easily integrate a laptop using a VGA output. If you need help connecting an Apple or other proprietary connection please contact AV, preferably in advance. It is a best practice to have a spare copy of the presentation or material that you intend to show in class.

    Step 4c.Laptop

  47. Laptop & Mediatech Mediatech has a VGA connection for videoand a 1/8” mini-connection (commonly referred to as a headphone jack) for audio. Press the LAP button above INPUT SELECT, and the laptop will be projected.
  48. Laptop & Projector Patrol Some rooms have a LAPTOP button on Projector Patrol, under Video Source. If your room does not,a VGA cable may beborrowed from AV to connect your laptop. Advance notice is preferred. Laptop
  49. Laptop & Hand Held Remote Many of these rooms, being older, do not easily integrate a laptop. It is often still a possibility with advanced notice. Best practice is to use the computer already in the room for basic presentations and common usage.
  50. Audio is usually far more tricky than video. All of the volume controls in a system must be at sufficient levels to hear the output. Ex: If playing a YouTube video–the volume on the video itself must be up, the main computer volume must be up, and the actual system speakers must be turned up.

    Step 5.Audio

    Volume
  51. Audio – Example: Playing a YouTube The volume on the video itself must be up,the main computer volume must be up,and the actual system speakers must be turned up. If any of these controls are muted, or too low, the sound will be inaudible. Mute Mute
  52. Why isn’t the audio working? The speaker icon should be green. The speaker icon should show small audio waves should be coming out of it. A megaphone icon should appear. The speaker icon indicates that it has been muted.
  53. Audio & Mediatech All Mediatech consoles have a volume knob. This controls audio for DVD/VCR, computer, or laptop inputs. Volume
  54. Audio & Projector Patrol orHand Held Remote Control If projecting something that has audio, use the Volume controls on Projector Patrol or on the Hand Held Remote. Volume
  55. Audio & Projector Patrol orHand Held Remote Control Additionally the audio may be routed through standard desktop speakers. In this case volume is controlled via the volume knob on the speaker. Volume

  56. Step 6.Tips & Tricks

  57. Tips & Tricks: Laptops Laptops sometimes require that the VGA port be ‘activated’. Usually use a function key (F8) on the laptop.
  58. Tips & Tricks: Audio Volume If you’ve had the volume turned up to hear a source, turn it down before switching to another source or turning off the system. Otherwise, it may be unpleasantly loud, cause the next class in that room to suffer loud audio, or even damage the equipment.
  59. Tips & Tricks: Computer Appears Off Has the computer gone into power save mode? If so, the computer screen may appear to be off even though the computer is on. Striking any key should wake the computer up.
  60. Tips & Tricks: Computer Appears Off Many control systems have features like Mute, which enables the instructor to temporarily hide the source material from the students without turning the projector off and on, thus avoiding cool down and warm up times. Examples Mediatechhas a Mute button Epson Hand Held Remote Control has a Mute button
  61. Tips & Tricks: Media Tech Are there any LED lights present on the console? If not, the main power switch is likely off. One source light should always be selected. Oops! MUTE is lit.
  62. Tips & Tricks: Projector Patrol Has the ability to freeze an image that is being projectedas well as to mute. There are hot keys for this so you don’t have to bring projector patrol up to utilize this function. This way a slide or picture can be left on the projector while the instructor moves ahead in their presentation, or does other work on the computer.
  63. Tips & Tricks:Hand-Held Remote Control Many remotes have MUTEand FREEZE functionality.
  64. Projector bulbs are very expensive. Please TURN OFF the projector when not actively using it to extend lamp hours for the year and to not waste electricity. Please TURN OFF all relevant classroom technology when the room will no longer be used.
