\"Classroom<\/a>Dear faculty,<\/span><\/p>\n

Course mailing lists have been created in Google Groups. You can see them in your <\/span>My Groups list<\/span><\/a> or get a full list of all course mailing lists at: <\/span>Spring 2017 Course Mailing Lists on Google Groups<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

We have made a couple of changes to the default settings for course mailing lists: the members of a course mailing list are only viewable by the group members, and the web archive of messages sent to the list are also only viewable by members of the group. Several other changes are under discussion with the Computing Committee, but will probably not be implemented until the Fall. It\u2019s always a good idea for the group owner to check the group settings by clicking the Manage button.<\/p>\n

In addition to the video projectors, LCD TVs (in the 12-person classrooms), speakers and screens, many classrooms have resident document cameras, Blu-Ray\/DVD or DVD\/VHS players. You can find a full list of which rooms have what equipment in this document: <\/span>AV Equipment in HMC Class\/Meeting Rooms<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other technology available for use in the Shanahan Center and other classroom \u00a0includes:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Laptop carts<\/li>\n
  2. Lecture capture<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. iClickers<\/li>\n
  4. Smartboard<\/li>\n
  5. Video cameras for displaying experiments<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    More details on these other technologies can be found below:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. We have three carts with 15 laptops each, which are stored on the second floor of the Shanahan Center for use throughout the building. Laptops are made available on a first come, first served basis so please let us know as soon as you can if you need laptops for your class. Also, consider carefully how many laptops you need or if at some point you realize that your class is using fewer laptops than you requested, please update your requests so that the systems can be made available for other classes. If you\u2019d like more information about the laptops and how to reserve them, please visit <\/span>https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/cis\/services\/laptop-cart-reservation\/<\/span><\/a>.
      \n<\/span>You can find a full list of the software that is included on the laptops and the CIS lab computers in this document: <\/span>      Lab Software in CIS Managed Labs and Carts<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. There are six rooms in the Shanahan Center that are lecture capture-ready, including the Lecture Hall (1430), the Recital Hall (B480), the 85 person classroom (B460) and three rooms on the 2nd floor (2450, 2454 and 2460). All of those rooms have a video camera and microphone. You can visit the CIS web site for more information at the <\/span>Lecture Capture Service Catalog Page<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Clickers (personal response systems) are also available for loan. At this point all students have purchased iClickers so all you need is a wireless receiver and the iClicker software installed on your computer. \u00a0We have extra iClickers if you have non-HMC students in your class. More information about the iClickers can be found at the <\/span>iClicker Service Catalog Page<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n
    4. We have one Smartboard (interactive whiteboard) for faculty to try out. While the Smartboard is on a mobile stand, it is too big and heavy to move between classrooms, so we are currently keeping it in one of the technology-rich classrooms (Shanahan 2460). Use of the Smartboard is on a first come, first served basis so please let us know right away if you would like to try it out in your class, as we may need time to work with the Registrar to reschedule classrooms.<\/li>\n
    5. Many faculty also like to be able to project a demonstration or experiment from the front of the room to one of the big screens. The document camera is capable of doing this or you can use a video camera, either one of the built-in video cameras available in the 6 rooms listed above, or CIS can set up one for you.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      If you\u2019re interested in using one of these technology services in a class, please submit a request to the CIS Help Desk. You can use the <\/span>CIS AV Request Form<\/span><\/a> or send us an email at <\/span>helpdesk@hmc.edu<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

      We ask that you give us at least 48 hours notice when submitting a request. Please do not wait until the last minute to submit requests.<\/p>\n
