How to Hijack the Project List for Lecture Capture

League of Innovations in Community Colleges Innovations, Philadelphia, PA

Presentation: Lecture capture was 80th on the technology list and minimally funded. One year later the project was #2 and fully funded. Lessons learned will benefit faculty and administration.

Managing iOS on Campus

ACCS Annual Conference, Charlottesville, VA

Presentation: iOS devices are great for the individual user, but poorly thought out for enterprise support. Normally this wouldn’t be a problem, except the popularity of these devices has forced them into our everyday work lives. The Media Geeks have faced the challenges of procuring devices and software, delivering them to faculty and staff, maintaining some level of security and providing ongoing support and updates. This session will be a presentation of the techniques, tools, successes and failures so far.

Presentation: Session will discuss how changing the culture of a department to one of humor and obsessive customer service has allowed us to completely break the mold of the typical "AV Department". Since the change we’ve taken on higher profile projects and improved not only our relationship and involvement with the faculty and staff, but created higher job satisfaction and retention within our own group.

A Seat at the Classroom Design Table

ACCS Annual Conference

Presentation: Audio Visual, classroom technology, geeks and misfits; we may be recognized by many different names, but we all want the same thing: a seat at the design table. Too often the technology in a classroom isn’t considered until the last stages of a building completion. Integration is added as an after-thought and can often clash with the design of the room and the expectations of the faculty. At Virginia Western Community College, the Media Geeks have been working hard to slide their chairs up to the design table for the new STEM building. In this session we’ll talk about what we’ve done to build a relationship with the faculty and administration that encourages them to involve us earlier and at a more integral level. We’ll talk about our successes (and failures!) up to this point, then open up the floor for a round table discussion of how others are getting a “seat at the design table.”

Lecture Capture: Support and Success Update

New Horizons Conference, Roanoke, VA

Presentation: In August of 2011 Virginia Western Community College rolled out Panopto Focus lecture capture support for every faculty and staff member. Over 80 rooms now how technology built into the room, and users have the option of using their laptops and desktops to perform lecture capture as well. Project Lead B Bagby will discuss the issues associate with rolling this service out at this scale, including hardware and software, managing the various support communities (faculty volunteers, help desk, systems support, etc.) as well as show statistics of use in this first year.

Concept to Completion: Lecture Capture Implementation in 12 Months

UBTech, Las Vegas, NV

Presentation: In the fall of 2010 Virginia Western Community College began a pilot lecture capture project with 20 instructors and just a few rooms. The project was 80th on the IT folks list and minimally funded for testing. One year later the project was #2 on the IT list, fully funded by administration, 80 classrooms were installed and 100 instructors had signed up before the first day of classes. Like so many others we faced questions of lecture ownership, support outside standard hours, fears of faculty being replaced by recordings, and a general lack of understanding of what lecture capture was and how it could be integrated into our programs. In this session I’ll talk about how we were able to capture the interest of instructors, administrators and IT staff and fast track implementation of this campus wide instructional technology.
