Audio-Visual teaching technology drop-in sessions

Our Digital Technology Services (DTS) Audio-Visual team are offering staff drop-in sessions to demonstrate how to use various classroom technologies.

These drop-in sessions are aimed at new teaching staff plus existing staff who want to have refresh or closer look at how the AV classroom technology, including microphones, cameras and screens, works.

When and where:  

What will I learn? 

The rooms chosen are typical teaching classrooms with standard equipment. Technicians will be on hand to demonstrate and show you how to: 

• Switch on equipment 
• Perform basic operations, e.g. checking OneDrive, where to find your files, using multiples screens, how to end a session 
• Use the document camera 
• Use Microsoft Whiteboard 
• Check microphone and sounds levels for Yuja Learning Capture (there are separate Yuja software sessions held by TEL, book through UoR Learn) 
• Use Teams as part of a session, e.g., calling or conferencing 
• How to get help if something goes wrong with the equipment in a session 

You will also be given the opportunity to try things out for yourself so you can feel comfortable with the technology before the start of term.
