Media-equipped classrooms
Media Services provides a wide range of instructional
support to classrooms. Most classrooms are equipped with an overhead
mounted LCD projector connected to a Media Links System with DVD, VHS
and computer inputs. All other classrooms on campus have media
cabinets
with 27" monitors and DVD/VHS video players. The media cabinets can be
opened with the same key that unlocks the classroom door. (Please note
that each classroom building requires a different key to unlock doors
and media cabinets. Call Media Services if you need access to cabinets
in other buildings.)
Many classrooms have additional equipment. A complete list can be found here.

Support
for Podcasting
Podcasts provide another way to communicate with the
broader Macalester
community via the Web. For example, College Relations is currently
producing two audio series, Faculty Talks and Guest Speakers.
Anticipating more requests for producing these kinds of broadcasts,
Information Services and College Relations have developed the following
policies and procedures. Following these procedures will ensure that
podcasts are well made and properly archived:
- Contact College Relations (Barbara Laskin at laskin@macalester.edu,
x6451 or Doug Stone at stone@macalester.edu,
x6433) to request that a
speaker or event be recorded with the intent to share with a wider
audience. (Note: the College will not distribute a recording of any
campus speaker or event without the event coordinators having obtained
written permission from the speaker.)
- College Relations works with Media Services to
schedule the
digital
recording.
- Media Services gathers permission clearances and
other
descriptive
data about the event and creates the master digital file. A copy of
file
and related data is deposited with the College Archives.
- College Relations posts the podcast on the Web.
- Support for podcasts in courses is provided by the
Academic
Information Associates.
Contact College Relations or Brian Longley in Media Services at x6379
if
you have any questions about the podcasting process.
