Carlow IT - Fall 2006 Newsletter

Did you know that the Media Center has moved to the 2nd floor of Antonian Hall? With this change, the Media Center is also merging with our technical services area to become “Technical and Media Services”. Both areas will be managed by Katie Bartus who previously managed the Media Center.

You can now request media equipment directly from the I.T. website at:
http://it.carlow.edu/
media/orderform.cfm
and a confirmation will be mailed to you as soon as we are able to confirm that the equipment is available. In addition, this site will allow you to easily request reoccurring orders that you may need for all of your class sessions.

Also, you can now call our helpdesk at x8700 when you are experiencing problems in your classroom with any of the smart classroom equipment or to place orders for the equipment. The personnel at the helpdesk will either help you or get one of the media specific employees to help you as soon as possible.

Look for the grand-opening of the Computer Café on the 4th floor of the library in September. In this space, faculty and staff can attend Computer Café sessions or use the lab at any time to learn more about the technology that is resident in our smart classrooms including the sympodium, and Turning Point. In addition, you can learn about software products such as the Microsoft Office Suite, Turn-it-in (anti-plagiarism software), Microsoft Producer, Audacity (for podcasting), and Blackboard.

Denise King, the Assistant Director for Instructional Technology, and Nola Coulson, our part-time coordinator for online classes, will each have offices in this space and will be available to help you with your needs. You can also reach them by emailing instructionaltech@carlow.edu or calling x6338.
