Classroom Technology
Academic Media Technology designs, maintains, and administers the
classroom audio-visual presentation systems at Capital. Each room
features presentation equipment that allows instructors and students
to incorporate many different types of materials into a rich, multimedia
learning experience.
Having technical difficulties? Call x5030 from your classroom phone for
immediate assistance (during normal office hours).
College classrooms and labs, conference
rooms, lecture halls, tutoring centers, the Community Room, and the
Auditorium (nearly 90 rooms in all) feature a high-tech "instructor's
station" that includes:
Networked PC with CD/DVD Drive
Document Camera
Multimedia Projector or LCD flat-screen display
One-Touch Control Panel to switch sources
Speakers for amplified sound
Instructors have a variety of options when incorporating
instructional material into their lessons, all displayed on a large screen to the
classroom: DVD and VHS videos, online videos and music, internet web pages,
Microsoft Office documents, textbook images, CD-ROMs or CD audio discs, small
objects, hard-copy items such as newspapers and magazines, and even old-school
overhead transparencies. Instructors using Blackboard Learn to deliver online content
as part of a web-enhanced or hybrid course, can display their course on-screen and give
a tour of the online course environment to students.
Academic Media Technology provides
instructional multimedia design services
to assist faculty in creating audio-visual learning materials that take advantage of
the classroom presentation systems, providing a rich learning experience for students.
AMT also offers small group and individual training to faculty members who wish to learn
more about the power of these systems. And we maintain a Help Desk in Room 1031
(ext. 5030) and an extensive
classroom tech support website.
