So you want to do something in class besides lecture to students and write on a chalk board.
You want to use that slick computer presentation, or you need a multimedia projector, a laptop, DVD or audio CD player, or some piece of traditional, tried-and-true equipment, like a VHS video camcorder, slide or overhead projector.
We can help you with all of this. Talk to us about audio/visual ideas or call us with questions. We can advise you about equipment you will need, show you how to hook it up, and use it. The Audio Visual Department is committed to helping faculty, staff, and students with any and all audiovisual needs. We understand that technology plays a key role in the educational process of today's classes. Not only do we in the Media Services Department wish to provide you with the appropriate equipment but also the personal assistance that may be needed to help use that equipment.
