Electronic Classroom Equipment
This page is for Library Instructors only. For information about scheduling a class with a Library Instructor, visit the Instruction page.
If you plan on using any of the equipment other than the projector, please inform the Media Services staff at least two days prior to your class time. Some of the equipment requires lengthy set up time by Media Services staff. They will also check that all the equipment is working properly before your class.
After your class is over, it is your responsibility to:
- Turn off all the equipment
- Lock the multimedia cabinet
- Push in all the chairs
- Remove any leftover handouts
- Return the keys to Media Services
NetOp Student/Teacher Application
This application is loaded on the instructor's computer. It allows you to remotely control all the other computers in the classroom. You can display the instructor's screen on the other PCs if you want to show students something; you can view what they are looking at on their PCs; and you can take control of their PCs if they need assistance.
NetOp is always running in student mode on the classroom computers. To connect to them, simply start the teacher application on the instructor's computer by double clicking on the Teacher desktop icon.
The following Word document is from Library Systems' instruction manual for the NetOp application. Click on it to open Word and then read or print. - NetOp tutorial. |
